Enamel Bowls Have Us Absolutely Enamored

Enamelware is everywhere again. The centuries-old kitchenware is showing up in boutiques, general stores, lifestyle blogs, camping gear shops, and of course, your favorite online store. It seems everyone wants a piece of these durable, light tinware that was once considered a poor man’s ceramic. But what exactly is enamel bowl and why has it stood the test of time?

Enamelware is metal, aluminum, or cast-iron cookware coated in a porcelain lining that makes it easy to clean, safe against heat, and long-lasting. Unlike today, traditional enamelware is not made by machine but, instead, through a multi-step process by coating cast iron or steel with a layer of powdered glass & fired in a kiln. This coating prevents rust and helps evenly distribute heat throughout the surface. People have found new and exciting ways to take advantage of this durable item for everyday use.

Enamel Stainless Steel Bowls Make For Trendy Kitchen Decor

Enamel bowls have found their way into our homes in different styles. From boldly patterned, vintage European pieces that now sell for top dollar at auction, to today’s print of demand industry that makes them easy to customize and make them your own. They continue to be simple, casual, budget-friendly, charming tokens of kitchenware sculpted into sleek, contemporary silhouettes that make as much sense in a downtown loft as in a log cabin.

So why are they making the round in our homes again and how could one material have such universal appeal? For many, the draw is its old-fashioned sensibility. Enamel has a nostalgic quality to it, but it’s not too loud and bold. It’s just the right amount of retro. This means it can silently mimic any space it is put and add a touch of grandma-chicness that many associates with comfort. Many people are now stocking enamel bowls and plates to take a long weekend camping trip, the same way our parents and grandparents did. Enamelware is both sentimental and functional, which is the reason it is here to stay.

Why We Love Enamel Bowls?

Enamel Bowls Are 100% Food Safe.

Since enamelware doesn’t react with any acids in food, it is 100% food safe. Enamel bowls are great for serving, keeping food in the fridge or freezer, and storing food in the pantry, all without damaging the coating or design. Tea, coffee, and other foods may stain the enamel but this is natural. When you use enamel dinnerware, the steel is protected by porcelain, so you can be sure that there is no metal contact with your food. Although the porcelain can chip and reveal the metal underneath, it will naturally oxidize and still be perfectly safe to use. Children and adults can enjoy their food without the risk of anything contamination. Keep in mind that our enamel bowls come with anti-slip underlining and should not be used for direct heating. Extreme temperature changes may also cause damage, so allow your product to return to room temperature before washing. Enamel is not microwave-safe and should not be used to reheat food in a microwave.

Enamel Bowls Are Kid-Safe

When you’re looking for safe child-proof ways to store snacks and food for your children, you’re sure to come across enamel as an option. Enamelware is super safe for children and offers a number of benefits including customization. Enamel bowl customization allows for a variety of features that make it the ideal choice for children and adults alike. You can design enamel bowls to be full of quirky characters, color, and fun by customizing them with a variety of color combinations and versatile designs for the perfect kid snack bowl.

Enamel Bowls Are Hard-Wearing

Enamelware is extremely hard-wearing and long-lasting. This is because it made with a naturally hardwearing stainless steel metal with a top coating of powdered glass. When this powder is heated to a high temperature it fuses to the metal, creating a strong, virtually indestructible surface. This process ensures that the pieces are long-lasting, durable, lightweight, easy to clean, unbreakable, and uniquely stylish. Enamel bowls can withstand food that has been heated to fairly high temperatures or food that is frozen, so there’s no need to worry about it being fragile.

Enamel Bowls Are Shatterproof

Another excellent advantage of enamel bowls is that they are shatterproof. Everyday use makes them prone to being dropped frequently. If enamel is dropped, there is a possibility it could chip, but it won’t ever shatter, which if you have kids or pets, is music to the ears. You can continue to use it safely after it’s chipped, as long as you keep it clean. That is why it is the perfect fit for grungy outdoor adventures such as camping in the woods or hiking up a mountain. It really would be a challenge for you to destroy tough enamelware.

Enamel Bowls Are Easy to Clean and Dishwasher Safe

Enamel is also really easy to clean. It’s dishwasher safe, so there are no hours of scrubbing or soaking required, although sometimes soaking can help. Just pop the bowl in the dishwasher and let the machine take care of the work. If you have some seriously tough stains, remove them by using lemon juice. The assurance that your products are always clean and ready to use will help you to feel better about choosing to use enamel bowls.

Enamel Bowls Retain Heat

Our enamel bowls come with a tight-fitting lid to help keep food fresh and warm and also cover the food for storage. They also make great alternative for glass bowls for serving food. Enamelware is excellent for holding heat, which makes it easier to serve food safely. They retain an even level of heat throughout which helps to avoid sudden drops in temperature and helps keep your dishes warm throughout. Cooking your food to safe temperatures is one of the most important parts of maintaining good food hygiene in your kitchen and at your table too. When you’re ready to serve your food, it shouldn’t cool down too quickly, and your enamelware will remain solid and durable.

Handling Tips for Your Enamel Bowls

Cleaning Tips for Your Enamel Bowls

1. Handwash With Soap

For everyday cleaning, you may wash by hand with mild dish soap.

2. Enamel Bowls in the Dishwasher

Many enamel products are dishwasher safe. If you wish to clean them in this manner, make sure to arrange the pieces individually, so they don’t bang against other dishes and cause chipping.

3. Dry Your Enamel Bowls Thoroughly

After washing, dry enamelware thoroughly inside and out, because water can encourage corrosion especially if there is an area of the metal that is exposed.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Do not clean your enamelware with vinegar, harsh abrasive materials, or detergents. If you wish to go ahead, test a small area first & clean using these tips at your own risk.

Repairing Chipped Enamel Bowls

Even though Enamel bowls are sturdy, like any piece of dishware, they can show signs of wear with time, get chipped or dented if dropped, knocked, or mishandled. This is normal in a product like this.

What to Do When Your Enamel Bowl Chips

Chips happen. If they do, you can apply naval jelly in the exposed area for 10 minutes to prevent rusting. You can also coat with cooking oil.

If chips happen where food or drink may come into contact, it is recommended to discontinue use, not because it’s not food safe. But because these small chips can turn into bigger ones that you could end up ingesting.
