Enamelled cast iron – a versatile classic
Enamelled cast iron is one of the most versatile materials in the kitchen – and with good reason. It retains heat like no other material and can be used for everything from simmering and braising to searing steaks or baking bread. Our enamelled cast iron cookware combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design, giving you timeless pieces that are both beautiful and built to last for generations.
Made in France – designed in Denmark
Each piece of cast iron cookware, whether it's a casserole or a frying pan, is produced in a French foundry with more than 100 years of experience in refining the craft. The pieces are cast in individual sand molds and enamelled by hand to ensure a strong, durable, and beautiful surface. The enamel protects the cast iron from rust and makes it easy to clean – without the need for seasoning. The result is enamelled cast iron cookware with a perfect balance between tradition, functionality, and aesthetics.
Perfect heat distribution and long durability
With cast iron, you get cookware that retains heat, allowing your dishes to develop deep flavors. The thick body and heat storage of cast iron ensure even heat distribution, making it ideal for slow simmering dishes, crispy frying results, and freshly baked bread. In a casserole, this means rich stews that simmer evenly for hours; in a frying pan, it means a perfect, even sear from edge to edge. The enamelled surface also means you can use your cast iron on all heat sources—induction, gas, electric, and oven—without worrying about PFAS or heavy metals.
A kitchen classic in your own kitchen
Whether you're making boeuf bourguignon in a casserole, searing a steak in a frying pan, or baking a light and airy pot bread, cast iron is a must-have. It goes from the stove to the oven and straight to the table – and its timeless design makes it an aesthetic addition to any kitchen. Our cast iron cookware comes in several colors, so you can choose the pieces that perfectly suit your style.

A good piece of cast iron cookware is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase. That's why we've focused on quality in every aspect – from the recycled iron in the casting to the manual enameling and the ergonomic stainless steel handles. Whether it ends up being a casserole, a frying pan, or another shape from our range, it's a piece of cookware that can accompany you throughout your entire life in the kitchen.
Frequently asked questions about cast iron
What is the difference between cast iron and enamelled cast iron?
Classic cast iron cookware, such as a raw cast iron frying pan, requires seasoning to build up a natural nonstick surface. Enamelled cast iron, on the other hand, is coated with a layer of enamel that protects against rust and makes it easy to clean. It does not need to be maintained with oil and requires no seasoning—you can use it right out of the box.
What can I cook in cast iron?
Cast iron is extremely versatile. You can use it to simmer, fry, braise, bake, and even deep fry. The even heat distribution makes it perfect for everything from boeuf bourguignon and goulash in a casserole, to a perfectly seared steak in a frying pan, to casserole bread and oven-roasted chicken.
Can cast iron be used on induction and in the oven?
Yes. Enamelled cast iron can be used on all heat sources – including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. It can also withstand oven temperatures up to approx. 290 °C. Just remember to use pot holders, as cast iron retains heat long after cooking.
Can I bake in cast iron?
Yes, you can. A cast iron casserole, for example, acts like a small oven inside your oven, transferring heat to your bread incredibly efficiently and retaining moisture so that the dough has time to develop optimally before the crust sets.
How do I clean my enamelled cast iron?
Allow the cookware to cool before washing it in warm water with a little dish soap and a soft sponge or brush. Avoid steel wool and abrasive cleaning agents, which can scratch the enamel. Dry it thoroughly after washing to prevent rust on the rim.
Why is cast iron so good for cooking?
Cast iron has a unique ability to retain heat and distribute it evenly. This means you can fry, simmer, and bake at lower temperatures and still get fantastic results. In addition, cast iron retains heat for a long time, so food stays warm on the table, whether it's straight out of a frying pan or served from a casserole.
How long does a piece of cast iron cookware last?
A high-quality piece of cast iron cookware can last a lifetime. Our enamelled cast iron is made in France with up to 80% recycled iron and enamelled by hand by experienced experts. If you treat it properly, you'll have cookware that can be passed down through generations.
