Hi Ashley I have a question I use a regular Dutch oven to deep fry on my gas grill outside on my porch and it works good I was wondering if I can use an enameled safely and an enameled Dutch oven on my gas grill for deep frying if it's safe thanks so much for your time and any help
Hi, William! Enamelware isn't really intended for outdoor cooking, but a lot of people online use theirs over an open flame. I think the biggest concern is that the heat from the flames could exceed the 500 degree threshold most of them have, which would damage the enamel coating. Some people also indicate their enamelware turns black over a fire and they have to clean that off (even recommending carbon off to do so). Another issue with deep-frying with enamelware is that most people use a a fry basket or heavy metal tongs to pick up the pieces of food. However, you don't want to use metal on enamelware because it scratches the coating. My advice: stick with regular, seasoned cast iron for frying and grilling outside. Thanks for the great question!
@@ashleyljones thanks thanks so much for responding Ashley i really appreciate it.. just to be clear , its not an open flame, its more like a gas stove top.. its a buffered control, the flame is spread out like a gas stove top element...its just a pain to maintain the non enamal for small frying tasks, and i was thinking i might have less temp loss when i add my chicken or fish to oil with an enameled cast iron,,.. ive already learned to try and add produce to oil closer to room temp than refrig. temp. but for small fry events.. having to go through the non detergent cleaning, and then the drying process, and then the oiling process, with heat, and then the oiling process for storage,, that is becoming a pain... im in love with frying outside, will never fry inside again,, i have a small house.. just trying to tweak my process ,, thanks again for your time and help.
@@williammitchell7353 I would think if it's like a gas range and the temperature isn't exceedingly high, then it should be fine. Just don't scrap the enamelware over the grill or you could damage the enamel. And, like I said before, be careful using metal utensils. But otherwise, I think it should be fine--just like cooking on a stove indoors. Let me know how it works out!
great interview, very happy i stumbled on your vids. Thanks
Oh I'm so glad! Much more on the way.
