Sadly, my enameled cast iron pot chipped. It flakes off at the edges of the chip, so not food safe anymore.
This pot is my go to for making spaghetti sauce, stews, etc. I baby it, no metal utensils, silicon or wood only.
It’s had that little crack forever, so I think this is related. I’ve emailed the manufacturer to see if they’ll replace it under their lifetime warranty.
I will miss this pot, it was a Christmas gift from my spouse and I’ve made many good meals with it. It’s weirdly sentimental to me.
What brand of you don’t mind me asking?
How long have you had it?
Two or three years, it’s a major brand, I don’t want to drop the name since I don’t think it’s representative/everything else we have from them is excellent.
2-3 years of heavy use I’d bet 50/50 it’s your fault the enamel chipped, not theirs … and I mean that without any shade just if anything you’re bound to have some something.
So from my end that’s not an indictment, but I get where you’re coming from.
If they wanna replace it let us know then?
I don’t use any metal on it, what am I missing?
Did you ever pour any cold liquids in it when it was really hot?
Nope.
Only other thing I can think of (since you already said you didn’t use metal utensils) is that something stuck to the enamel and pulled off a chip. It’s not very common, but some kinds of chemical bonds with glass can be strong enough to break the glass when pulled away (enamel is a type of glass).
The tensile strength of glass varies dramatically and randomly based on invisible defects. That may be what happened here.
nothing, just something coulda happened somewhere in the years you’ve had it.
It’s not uncommon. I literally meant no shade my dude.
Okay, totally read that as shade lol
Not meant that way at all, I take care of all my stuff but everyone else wants to ruin it, filthy hobbitses
I assume you live similarly
Do you stack your cookware up in the cupboard? Potentially without a felt separator between each?
Not the Dutch oven
For pans we have felt dividers. They’re great!
My Dutch ovens and other enamelware get put away with lids on so they can’t be stacked.
My son still finds a way …
Just like Frosted Flakes?
(I think we found Tony’s Lemmy account.)
Listen here you little pipsqweek
I am the reason the other tigers have fake eyes on the backs of their heads. I am eternal. I am the one who crunches.
If you mention this to anyone I might have to add a human skin rug next to my tiger skin rug.
