The reason your enamel cast-iron is sticky or has food sticking to the inside of the enamel is that it is not a non-stick cooking surface. Combining a non-stick cooking surface, with the exceptional heat output from cast-iron and not enough oil or other liquid is what makes it sticky over time.
How do you keep food from sticking to Le Creuset?
Always place a hot pan on a wooden board, trivet or Le Creuset silicone mat; never on an unprotected surface. Cool pans for a few minutes before washing in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly or clean in the dishwasher. For more stubborn residues fill the pan with warm water and leave to soak for 10-15 minutes.

Why does everything stick to my Le Creuset skillet?
Why is my Le Creuset skillet sticking? Sticking occurs most often when the pan has not been properly preheated, or when not enough oil has been used. Remember, enameled cast iron is not nonstick, and will not develop the same level of seasoning as a raw cast iron pan.
