When properly seasoned and preheated, cast iron cookware offers excellent food release, making it nearly non-stick. However, it's not a true non-stick coating like synthetic ones; some oil or fat is still recommended for optimal results.
Yes, you can generally use metal utensils with a well-seasoned cast iron pot without damaging the surface, unlike some non-stick coatings. However, avoid excessively sharp or aggressive scraping that could chip away at the seasoning.
While the cast iron itself is safe up to 600°C, the glass lid's temperature limit is typically lower. It is generally safe for standard oven temperatures up to around 200-230°C (400-450°F). Always check manufacturer recommendations if unsure.
