    When using a cast iron griddle on an electric stove, it's important to make sure the skillet is properly seasoned.  Seasoning your cast iron griddle creates a non-stick surface and prevents rust.  To season the cast iron griddle, coat the cooking surface with a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat on the stove until it starts to smoke.  Repeat this process a few times and your cast iron griddle is ready to use.

Ceramic pans are similar to non stick pans, but with one crucial difference. Because part of the coating releases every time it heats up (that’s the “self-sacrificing” bit), ceramic pans become less non stick with every use, making for a pan with a shorter lifespan. On the plus side, ceramic pans’ aluminum core makes them relatively lightweight and easy to handle.

Granite or stone frying pans are made from a combination of materials, such as ceramics, stone, and titanium. These pans are known for their durability and non-stick properties. They are ideal for cooking delicate dishes and reducing the amount of oil needed for cooking. However, they are prone to chipping or cracking with rough handling, so it's important to handle them with care.

Cooking Surface Applications: The spacious cooking surface of big black cast iron skillets allows for the preparation of large quantities of food, making them suitable for family meals, entertaining, and batch cooking. They can handle everything from searing steaks to cooking pancakes and deep-dish pizzas.

    In addition to using repair tools, there are some DIY methods for repairing enamel cookware.  For small chips or cracks, some home cooks have success using clear nail polish to seal the damaged area and prevent further chipping.

Similarly to cast iron, carbon steel pans need to be seasoned before use (though some, like ours, do come preseasoned). As if these pans weren’t already versatile enough, carbon steel is also safe to use on the grill as well as over an open flame.
