  1. Hello,
    I was wondering if it was safe to broil steaks in an enamelware
    skillet. More specifically, an enamel-on-steel
    speckleware/splatterware skillet. I know they are supposedly safe for
    the oven, but, then again, my guess is that most recommendations assume
    that one is baking rather than broiling. My primary concern is that I
    am going to ruin the enamel over the long-run or that the steaks simply
    will not cook correctly in such a skillet. Would this work?

    Thanks,
    Swann

    Can't see your pan so I can't say... may be okay or the pan may warp
    from the intense heat and the porcelain may explode off it in millions
    of tiny slivers, very dangerous. And regardless what pan you use
    you'll still need some sort of device with holes for draining the fat
    away from the flames, otherwise broiling directly in a pan can cause a
    serious grease fire. I think you'll be much better off, certainly
    safer, if you simply buy a broiler pan. They're available in the
    housewares section of most stupidmarkts for under $10. Where is the
    broiler pan that came with your stove... or are you not using a
    stove... oboy.

    Btw, no law says a broiler pan needs to be made of porcelainized carbon
    steel, better quality ones are of plain stainless steel.
