Editor Quote: "The enamel cast iron browns food quickly without any seasoning needed, so the short ribs were incredibly tender after being moved from the stovetop to the oven. I appreciate that food rarely ever sticks to the surface of this pan. Also, the cleverly designed silicon hot grips make it easy to carry this pan from place to place." — Macy Cate Williams, former content director, Shopping
