    Cook's Notes
  • 5
    Due to the fantastic even heat distribution of cast iron, only a low heat is required, which lowers energy consumption.
  • 6
    The onions will not catch or burn when browning thanks to the easy-release properties of the enamel surface.
  • 7
    The gentle, even heat distribution of cast iron and the enamel surface promotes the caramelisation of the foods, enhancing the flavour of the dish.
