Thermal shock is a problem that occurs when you wash or immerse hot enameled cast iron cookware in cold water. The sudden temperature change causes the material to shrink and expand rapidly. This results in cracks in the enamel, which can spread over time and cause irreversible damage to the cookware’s surface. To prevent thermal shock, gradually heat and cool your enameled cast iron cookware. Never take a pan from the fridge and place it directly into a hot oven, and never rinse a piping hot pan with cold water.
Cast iron cookware is all one piece, meaning the handles are cast in the same mold and connected seamlessly to the rest of the pan. Because of that, the handles are likely to be very hot during and after cooking. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when handling enameled cast iron pots and pans.
