Is it safe to use an enamel/cast iron Dutch oven with small cracks and worn enamel
Seasoned Advice Asked by Chriiis on October 2, 2021
I have a few-years old enamel/cast iron Dutch oven. I haven’t looked after it that well, and the inside is showing small cracks (crazing), and there is some grey discolouration which looks almost like the enamel is worn off in places. It isn’t chipped or visibly damaged, but looks worn.
Is this safe to continue using?
One Answer
I see bare metal that is partially seasoned -perfectly fine
Crazing of enamel is also fine. Rule of thumb: if you can feel cracks with fingernail then that's too much a trap for pathogens.
An occasional soak in borax or vinegar to be 100%
