I've done some cast iron repair, usually successfully using silver braze. Now I've got a potential repair with a wrinkle.
An enameled cast iron fry pan dropped and broke the handle off. If it weren't for the porcelain enamel coating I'd consider it straightforward. In this case I'm not sure what to expect from the coating. Will it contaminate the joint in spite of flux? Will it melt at braze temperature? If it just looks a little ugly I don't mind since this is a utilitarian piece, not a museum restoration.
Anyone have actual experience brazing enamel ware?
