Enamel Coated Cast Iron Cookware

IKEA now offers enamel coated cast iron cookware at a fraction of the price of Le Crueset.

Visions Cookware

Visions cookware is made from a proprietary glass-ceramic material that doesn't leach into food. Because you can see right through it, you don't have to remove the lid to monitor cooking, thus saving energy.

Visions cookware wasn't available for a while, but it's back again. New pieces are fairly expensive however there are quite a few "used" pieces of Visions cookware available at eBay at very reasonable prices. They may also be available at your local second-hand store.

Notes by Fran: This was my favorite cookware! In the past I read a few people's comment on the Internet that some Visions pieces they had cracked or broke. I think Visions cookware manufacturers solved that problem before putting it back on the market. One way to find out for sure is to write to the company.

Soapstone Cookware

Website: Soapstone Cookware

This natural stone cookware is beautiful, warms food quickly over low heat, is bacteria-resistant and naturally non-stick, and is so durable it can be handed down for several generations.

Enamelware

Enamelware is made out of either cast-iron or stainless steel and coated with glass (some are four layers), which is also called porcelain. It is non-porous, anti-bacterial, non-allergen, easy to clean and dishwasher safe.

It has excellent heat conductivity which ensures its suitability for any gas, wood or electric oven or stovetop. Enamelware is an "inert" surface for cooking - meaning it is safe (and nickel free).

There are many good brands of enamelware available at many stores and online.
