Wife was craving comfort food so I made us some goulash in the Lecruset last night.

Me too - I have a cousances enamel dutch oven that lasted maybe 20 years, then we moved to a house with a gas cooktop and I managed to get it too hot (with just a bit of oil in it) and flakes of enamel stated flying off!

I'm wondering if there's a way to remove the enamel so I can season it and keep using it.

Cover it in oil and put in a raging backyard fire?
