Can You Use Steel Wool on Enamel Cast Iron?

[JesterJester]

I recently obtained an enamel-coated cast iron pan and noticed some stubborn stains on it. I'm pondering if it's risk-free to exploit steel wool to wash it. Any advice?

Using steel wool on enamel cast iron can be risky. Steel wool is abrasive and can scratch the enamel coating, leading up to hurt and potentially exposing the cast iron beneath.

That's a valid level. Instead of steel wool, i advise utilizing non-abrasive cleansing techniques. You can try out soaking the pan in warm, soapy water and using a mild sponge or cloth to gently scrub away the stains.

I agree. An extra meek cleansing solution is to prepare a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stained areas, enable it sit meantime, and then scrub with a soft brush or cloth.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've also read that a mixture of vinegar and water can make good for removing stains from enamel cast iron. Just be sure to rinse the pan extensively afterward.

Many thanks, absolutely everyone, for your advice! It sounds like i should avoid utilizing steel wool on my enamel cast steely pan to prevent any hurt to the coating. I'll deem out those gentler cleaning strategies instead.
