Cast iron pot chip... How bad is it?

[Matt..]

My Chasseur casserole pot has a chip in the enamel in the main bowl. How bad is this? Is it unwise to use it now?

Its still safe to use but I wouldn't stand too near the oven until the pot is up to temperature so you can be sure its not going to crack.

It looks as though i've found something to put onto the Christmas list now then!

[escargot]

if it's cast iron then it wont crack

[smack]

I have quite a few really old LC pots with chips in them - all fine. Cooking with seasoned cast iron is fine afterall....

Perfectly fine to use - don't be such a pussy.

Unless you want new pots of course...

[dudleybloke]

you'l be fine!

I would of course like a new pot, but if i dont need one, i wont get one!
