Cast Iron Cookware Questions
I read somewhere on the internet (so it has to be true) that if you are going to use tomatoes in the pot of gruel you're whompin' up, you should avoid black cast iron dutch ovens and skillets. They suggest enameled cast iron.

Is this blasphemy or some other kind of hooey?

And if I am using enameled cast iron, am I using cast iron?

I have been shopping cast iron cookware, focusing on large dutch ovens. I have a few black skillets that I love that I use for frying.

I just want an ~8-12 quart cast iron dutch oven, and need advice on the enameled/tomato thing.

Thanks in advance, sorry if repost.

Mikey sneers at your frilly apron-wearing cast iron antics. He prefers to snag vagina with his quixotic mix of 1950's cave-man chauvinism and life withering bitterness...

He'd have better success dragging women back to the cave by hitting them with a cast iron pan than his wooden club. Cast iron, heavier and sturdier than a wooden club.

Just saying... cast iron is better for everything.

Alton Brown kicks ass. I've got to say he is the direct cause for my cooking (especially for a single 20 something male) not completely sucking.

I'm a big fan. Didn't like him at first. Love the premise of his show, and watched because I liked the science behind it, but originally I absolutely hated his humor. It's grown on me. He's so corny, but once you get past that or accept it as a personality trait, it not only becomes fun to watch, he actually becomes funny.

You can't eat a quilt.

Can't make a good pot of chili in one either.

Even enameled cast iron is superior to non cast iron.

I love cast iron. Love. Love, love, love.
Weird, I just use the regular ones when I could some chicken up in hot sauce and that turns out just fine without that metallic flavor...

It just leaches some of the iron out, which can give it a funky flavor. But like I also said, if the pan is seasoned well at all, it shouldn't be a problem.

I would add, as it hasn't been mentioned yet, that despite whether your food tastes good or not in a cast iron pan, do NOT store tomato-based foods in cast iron. It will pit, it will ruin the seasoning and it will rust.

It won't ruin the pan, as you can take steel wool or sandpaper and get rid of the rust, but you'll have to re-season it a couple times before you use it again.
