I have two pans that I think are enamel, they're white on the inside and everything sticks. I just tried to cook some bacon pieces and even they stuck so bad I had to use oven cleaner to get it off. The last time I used one, I was boiling pasta and it stuck very badly as well.

They have sentimental value and I don't want to get rid of them. I was just hoping to utilize them and not just store them away. I do cook with cast iron too, just really thought there should be a way to make these useable.

No- seasoning is for cast iron.
Enamel has it's place however, and is good for QUICK heating- boiling water, heating canned goods.. to cook something like bacon in it, you would need to cook SLOW and render lots of fat. or put some cooking spray in first.

I just got a huge dutch oven (enamel). I love it. It retains heat well and there is no off color or taste when you cook in it. I love my cast iron, too but for other things.
Unlike cast iron, you do not need to season your enamel cookware. Just wash it in hot soapy water and dry.

really nothing better than a good old cast iron pans they cook much more even and if done right with care they are non stick beter than most non sticks are... and they last a life time where others need to be replace..... get rid of them like the first answer they are only good if you just look at them
