Enamelware is a type of cookware and tableware made by fusing a layer of glassy enamel onto a metal base, usually steel or cast iron. This process creates a durable, non-porous surface that is resistant to rust, staining, and scratching. Enamelware is often colorful and can come in various designs, making it popular for both practical use and decorative purposes. Commonly used for cooking, serving, and storage, enamelware is safe for food contact and can be used in ovens and on stovetops. However, it is not suitable for microwave use. Its lightweight nature and easy-to-clean surface make it a favorite for camping and outdoor activities.
