Enamel coated cast iron is fine for browning. I don't know why you
would think otherwise. Certainly does a better job than nonstick.
Follow the same guideline as for browning in stainless steel: heat
the pan, add just enough oil to coat the bottom, add meat, let sit
without poking or pushing for a few minutes. -aem
