Personally I prefer to cook with a well seasoned piece of cast iron cookware. The enameled cast iron pieces are pretty but they can be chipped if you are not careful.

In even a well-seasoned cast iron pot, acidic foods will pick up a metallic taste if in the pot for as little as 20 minutes (think tomato-based products like chili, spaghetti sauce, and citrus-based sauces for chicken or pork). You won't have that issue with a porcelain-coated pot. The advantage of the porcelain-coated ones over seasoned cast iron has to do with cooking acidic foods.

They are great to cook with though because the weight heats the food evenly and they are much easier to clean than plain cast iron. Also no rust. If I was to get it, I would look on Ebay, since buying new is crazy for price and they last for 50 years. Best for casseroles and foods that simmer. It's not what I'd want to make scrambled eggs in though. They are a bit heavy for things that are quick to make. $250 for a four piece set!http://nextpowerusa.stores.yahoo.net/lec...

The only advantage I can see in porcelain coated ware is that it does not need seasoning. I think it could also get chipped if it gets dropped, then it becomes a health hazard. Also, a well seasoned pot retains flavour. If you are happy with you bare cast iron pots, stick with them. The only advantage I can see in porcelain coated ware is that it does not need seasoning.
