ENAMEL
Enamel is a composite material made of alkali borosilicate glass fused onto metal.
Steel enamel is processed by firing, usually between 750 and 850 °C to form smooth, non- porous, hard surface melt.
ADVANTAGES OF ENAMEL
- Enamel has long-lasting color fastness and cannot burn.
- Enamel is glass, not paint, so it does not fade under ultraviolet light.
- Easy to clean, Dishwasher safe.
- No bacterial growth.
- Long life.
- Resistant to thermal shock and heat resistant.
- Used directly in the oven, on gas, induction and electric stove.
- Resistant chemical attack by acids/alkali.
- Conducts heat well; made excellent cooking and boiling utensils.
- Scratch resistance.
- FRAGILE! (It is glass.)
- the outer porcelain layer can chip if dropped, revealing the steel beneath it. When this happens the steel below naturally oxidies (rusts) and the enamelware remains safe to use (oxide of iron is edible). Plus, in our opinion, it gains a little more character.
