FAQ — Frittata in an enameled cast iron pan

1. Can you make a frittata without an oven?
Yes! If your cast iron skillet is thick enough, you can cover it with a large plate or aluminum foil to finish cooking over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes. The texture will be slightly softer.

2. What is the difference between an omelet and a frittata?
The omelet is cooked quickly on the stovetop, while the frittata is cooked more gently, often in the oven. Thanks to the enameled cast iron , the heat is distributed evenly, resulting in a light, golden texture that melts in your mouth.

3. Can I substitute the vegetables?
Absolutely! Try a seasonal version: leeks and bacon in winter, tomatoes and courgettes in summer, or mushrooms and spinach in spring.

4. How to prevent the frittata from sticking?
Always let the oil heat slightly before adding the eggs. The smooth enamel of the Mamie Cocottes pan ensures excellent natural non-stick properties, even without a chemical coating.

5. Is my pan oven-safe?
Yes, up to a maximum of 250°C , as the handle is designed to withstand the heat. Simply ensure your oven is set to fan-assisted for even cooking.
