    Hi

    Does anybody know of a non-toxic and hard wearing paint/enamel which
    it's safe to use on Le Creuset pans, for touching up the enamel?

    I bought several enamelled saucepans from the Le Creuset range about
    ten years back, along with other, much cheaper non-stick pans from
    Tefal, etc. The Le Creuset pans have weathered by far the worst, with
    quite a lot of the cream coloured enamel having chipped off,
    especially around the rims. I'm surprised, because I try to look after
    them. By comparison, none of the non-stick finish has come off the
    other pans.

    Regards
    George

    I have a suggestion for you. Take the lid and purchase a bottle of nail polish that is the exact match. Give the chips several thin coats...building them up over time until the chip disappears. I have done this and it is 100% effective.

    Please don't use nail polish on cookware.

    False, you can.
