First, avoid washing the enameled cast iron immediately after cooking in it.
This allows time for the stuck pieces to absorb the water, soften, and become easier to loosen.
Use a non-abrasive sponge or brush to clean the surface and to loosen any stuck-on debris or food bits.
Avoid using any pop in of metal tool or spatula to scrape the surface.
Metal can scratch or damage the enamel finish, leading to more damage.
This can break down any lingering smells that might still be on the cookware’s surface.
