How To Clean Your Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven | Made In Cookware

[@MadeInCookware]

Good Morning! Steve is back to help you clean your Enameled Cast Iron cookware. What is your favorite dutch oven recipe?

[@pjaccountname]

chili, stock, or stew.

[@carontownsend9890]

Along the same lines but simpler try this fail safe put dishwasher tablet in the pot, cover with water bring to the boil, simmer for 30mins and leave till it cools or overnight It will remove everything, if there are tiny hard pieces they will easily wipe off with a scourer, although I generally put mine through the dishwasher

[@DianeHardin-ri4qt]

Pot roast with whole potatoes, baby carrots, onions, cabbage, cut in eighths Seasonings to taste and slow cooked Yum

[@pauladrew7539]

Where do I get one of you?

[@pauladrew7539]

Sourdough bread in my dutch ovens, but mine are cream white and the outside is a mess even though nothing was on tge outside??

[@uncaringbear]

Bar Keeper's Friend is the actual answer.

[@4realdustin]

You rock, Steve!! I thought my creuset of 16 years was unsaveable, but you helped me get it back in business. Bravo!!

[@karastrasser7478]

cleaning lesson and therapy session all in one

[@jimicapone]

My poor Dutch oven has seen a lot of love. This is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you !

[@MadeInCookware]

Our pleasure.

[@MegaCarencro]

I cooked a steak an enameled skillet. Left a stain and i tried soap and water forever. Never thought about Baking soda and vinegar! Thanks bro

[@dwhelm84]

I'll have to try baking soda. I put my dutch oven in the sink, pour in a couple cups of oxyclean, and then pour in a pot of boiling hot water before lidding it for 30 minutes. It usually lifts anything on the bottom right off. No scrubbing.

[@ste9112]

I love steve videos! But i'd like to clear that every time you mix vinegar and baking soda you make an acid base reaction that gives you a salt. So you basically give away any advantage of using an acid and obtain the result only by mechanic action

[@ConcealedWeapon]

Exactly. In fact the acid is not necessary. Water and baking soda is enough, but as you say, it probably works just by the mechanical action of the baking soda, and not for its alkalinity.

[@kathiyu7007]

I've laid down a layer of baking soda, then sprinkled with vinegar. The fizz lifted all of the crap off my dutch oven without heavy scrubbing. It is the acid reaction that works.

[@joeburkart1883]

Yes and no, because they’re also a release of gas that can break the bonding between the stain and the pot. Trick is to let one of the agents sit and work into the stain before adding the reactant.

[@katderrick1153]

My grandmother roast pan from the early 1920s was beautiful. I made the mistake of letting a friend borrow it. Since im a elder i dont have the arm power anymore. Im going to take a before and after.

[@Manche-De-Pelle]

You totally saved my life ... bought a dutch oven, made a goulash today and there was burned macaronis stuck on the bottom ... I've made twice the boiling water with baking soda and my dutch oven is almost like new. I knew that I couldn't used stainless steel sponge so I was stocked with that issue. Glad that I've found that video before throwing away 85$

[@bloker86]

I clicked through several videos of chumps cleaning enameled cast iron before I found Steve. Glad to find Steve. Steve rocks. 0% chump.

[@alexsalas2173]

here for steve

[@aml8444]

Steve says, "repack it, regift it - so you cant get you another one!" Comedic gold right there baby!

[@mattgunderson350]

I can’t wait for my Dutch oven to arrive so I can put these tips to use! Thanks, Steve.

[@lowwastehighmelanin]

I was just gifted my very first dutch oven so I'm glad this exists. I wasn't sure how to care for it. 😂

[@the8ighth655]

This was helpful! I’m about to invest in my first enameled cast iron Dutch oven.

[@Trilliumzen]

I like his calm voice.

[@gjaeigjiajeg]

Man this guy sounds pretty chill lol

[@brianbassett4379]

Soap and water genius.

[@lisasilversmith2544]

Thank you! So realistic and helpful about burned on stains Admitting tgey dont come up right away.. Also you described the amount of baking soda which is extra helpful. Now I am going to attack this burnt on enameled Dutch oven! IT Its actually a Martha Stewart but same enameled pot as a Creuset.

[@IamHomelander]

Martha Stewart = Le Creuset ? I need what your smoking lol Le Creuset is dishwasher safe, and made in France since 1553 (Cousances). M.S. Everyday is made in China and probably won’t last a decade 😂

[@louisech1963]

Like the fact you didn't use any harsh chimicals.

[@susanentwisle4727]

Thank you so much, I just got mine yesterday and cooked black beans today.It feels clean but I'm going to take those stains out!!👍🏻💪❤

[@shawnhampton8503]

I want one of those cool caps with the bill in the back like Steve's! :-)

[@bonnienichalson5151]

Wonderful 🎉 very well done ! I didn't know about the paste made with bakeing soda and vinger . I will try that on my cramic pots to clean out stains ! Great channel stright to point ! great information well presented ! Thank You 😊

[@allisonangier1631]

Thank you! I learned a lot. What a charming coral dutch oven!

[@jennifercurnow9748]

New to the cast iron scene. Thanks for the great info!!

[@MadeInCookware]

You bet!

[@donsmolik5649]

Dutch city! Just started cooking with mine, so this is awesome!

[@dawnc1419]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I didn't think I'd ever get mine clean ❤

[@MadeInCookware]

You are so welcome!

[@jb43278]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. This is the first video I’ve seen from your channel and of course I subscribed right away! Well done!

[@MadeInCookware]

Wow, thank you!

[@arlenepadden1243]

Great video! It worked on my Le Creuset Dutch Ovens

[@mikemoore8902]

This is so helpful! Thank you Steve!

[@user-mo7jp2yd1q]

This worked perfectly! Great video

[@boykinlp]

Thanks for the instructions that I needed.

[@MadeInCookware]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tiffont]

Good looks Steve.

[@moemoe-jb2fw]

Can you teach us how to clean cast iron like get the rust off ? No oven as well

[@carolkalmerkalmer3135]

Years ago in Hints by Eloise she recommeded using a paste of Dawn and baking soda! That stuff does work miracles. Get baked on grime off for sure.

[@angelicajasmin5917]

Just ordered the same one! I can't wait to use it and take goood care of it thanks for the tip!😃

[@ihatemarmalade1]

I've seen that on a few videos over the years. Mixing baking soda and vinegar. Ive never really understood it as baking soda is basic and vinegar is acidic. So aren't you just making something thats almost neutral?

[@wandalynch3303]

Thank you kindly ❤

[@JERSEYTOMATO]

EXCELLENT!

[@MadeInCookware]

Glad you think so!

[@linsjack2]

What is that RED and when can I have it. Would look amaze in my kitchen!!

[@jennaseco1513]

I'm excited to give this method a try!

[@Shadowhawk827]

Great tips! :)

[@zedmadeamps]

I was listening while driving and not looking. I started to realize especially around 3:40 that he sounded just like the star of that old show Everybody Loves Raymond. 😅

[@arresteddevelopment2158]

Thanks for this

[@nana6]

Enjoyed your video from S.E.Tx.

[@Nomit94]

That must be a new Dutch oven I’ve just seen the limited edition on the website

[@chip_malt]

🧐🧐🧐

[@kennyhandkammer273]

Thank you! It all works well.

[@hollynla]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@MadeInCookware]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aussiegirl654]

I scrubbed my gloss coating off the bottom. Is it still safe to use?

[@Funtime-kx5rx]

I just use Barkeepers friend. The end. 😃

[@BarrowBay]

Perfect!...I’m subscribed!

[@MadeInCookware]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@paulbjansen2176]

Thanks!!

[@liftinglemons6340]

I'm a dutch oven lover!

[@wyomtnhippie]

Glad to see no paper towels were used in the making of this video!

[@TheOnlyKirby90210]

the baking soda and water saved my relative's graniteware 21 quart pot lol

[@Daisy.florina]

Brilliant!! is not scratched ? which is important for enamelware

[@MadeInCookware]

Nope, it is not scratched.

[@stephehniarhos3237]

you are amazing

[@saharagirl02]

The exposed cast iron on the edges of mine rust. Do you put crisco on the rims?

[@MadeInCookware]

Hi! The rims of ours are not raw cast iron, or else they would rust. It is covered with the very first underlayer of the inside of the Dutch Oven, that we call: "The Mass." If it was enameled, stacking of the lid would damage enamel. That said, make sure to dry the product after cleaning.

[@southendbos]

Hi! The enamel at the bottom is no longer smooth and shiny. The brown stains are getting darker and darker. Any ideas?

[@joepat2788]

A sponge and Dawn. Baking soda for any stains.

[@fillfreakin2245]

Where do you find the elbow grease? 😜

[@pjaccountname]

In the early 70s we got a gift of a great pan with a stupid "feature : a cast iron "anything" pan by Waterford, with an enameled outside and (I kid you not) a black teflon or similar "nonstick" interior! Just leaving the cast iron would have been fine, or enameling it. we used it quite a bit tilI noticed little black flakes of nonstick coating in the food.I planned to either wire brush or sandblast the remaining teflon stuff off, and season or use it like cast iron, but I left it behind when we moved.

[@frankroper3274]

Looks like a job for a brillo pad to me!

[@MadeInCookware]

Brillo can be damaging.

[@JesseHall76]

Which side of the sponge did you use - the soft or rough side? Is it okay to use a non-scratch scrubbing pad on this?

[@pjaccountname]

yes it is.

[@georgevalladares3881]

Thanks Steve, it worked for my Le creuset also...🤣

[@tylerdurden6882]

Why demonstrate on a version you haven’t released yet? Is the whiter enamel the same as the black in the limited edition? The white looks smoother.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Agreed. The cream enameled one isn't on their website. Furthermore I'm confused why do they have 2 of the same Dutch Ovens with different enameled interiors?

[@BlastFromYesterday]

My dutch oven has little spots on the rim of the bowl and the lid where i guess the enamel chipped and exposed the iron. To prevent it from getting worse is it enough to rub some oil on those spots before cooking and after cleaning?

[@xanafein8453]

Thats what I've been doing for years with my pan

[@dededenver9560]

I run my enameled cast iron through the dishwasher after every use. Generally comes out clean as a whistle inside and out. If any residue or discoloration remains, a very light spot clean with a bit of barkeepers friend brings it back to like new.

[@MadeInCookware]

We do not recommend putting enameled cast iron in the dishwasher. Hand Wash Only.

[@dededenver9560]

@MadeInCookware that's absurd. I've been doing it regularly for the past 22 years, and my pots look brand new. Enamel is essentially glass. Maybe you could provide a reason since it works for me.

[@soreheart31704]

Yikes

[@rondablair8044]

I have been using mine for sourdough and the exterior of the pan looks awful! Same method?

[@MadeInCookware]

Yes, you can use the same method.

[@TheJoshScape]

I like how he cut the vid and swapped in a brand new pot. Lmao

[@kathymallory1044]

I have tried to clean mine pot, but I am not getting anywhere.

[@MadeInCookware]

Happy to help you there. Please send us an email at [e-mail].

[@anamazingorange2286]

You've been trying for weeks, but leave it to soak and get most of it off. Why didnt i try that? 😂

[@CHARISMA_2XP]

Dude's voice sounds like his name should be Hubert lol.

[@paolapernalete7121]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@DrBlues76]

Get that sucka hot, then pour in a little beer and stir. Boom! Clean!

[@tugger]

that works to deglaze...it doesn't work on patina..

[@emjay2045]

All that good flavor you washed down the drain. ☹️
