Sadly, my enameled cast iron pot chipped. It flakes off at the edges of the chip, so not food safe anymore.

This pot is my go to for making spaghetti sauce, stews, etc. I baby it, no metal utensils, silicon or wood only.

It’s had that little crack forever, so I think this is related. I’ve emailed the manufacturer to see if they’ll replace it under their lifetime warranty.

I will miss this pot, it was a Christmas gift from my spouse and I’ve made many good meals with it. It’s weirdly sentimental to me.

I don’t use any metal on it, what am I missing?

    nothing, just something coulda happened somewhere in the years you’ve had it.

    It’s not uncommon. I literally meant no shade my dude.

    Did you ever pour any cold liquids in it when it was really hot?

    Only other thing I can think of (since you already said you didn’t use metal utensils) is that something stuck to the enamel and pulled off a chip. It’s not very common, but some kinds of chemical bonds with glass can be strong enough to break the glass when pulled away (enamel is a type of glass).

    The tensile strength of glass varies dramatically and randomly based on invisible defects. That may be what happened here.

    Do you stack your cookware up in the cupboard? Potentially without a felt separator between each?

    Not the Dutch oven

    For pans we have felt dividers. They’re great!

    Just like Frosted Flakes?

    Listen here you little pipsqweek

    I am the reason the other tigers have fake eyes on the backs of their heads. I am eternal. I am the one who crunches.

    If you mention this to anyone I might have to add a human skin rug next to my tiger skin rug.
