I first bought this white crystal enamel kitchenware, I think it is fresh and beautiful, but after a while I found that cooking is not good, it is too easy to stick things, so I bought a red black enamel kitchenware cast iron kitchenware, this black enamel cast iron kitchenware is more convenient to use.

Next, we will officially start to talk about the small science of enamel cast iron kitchenware, please come with me to understand slowly. 

From Europe popular enamel cast iron kitchenware, colorful look very advanced, then this enamel in the end what? In fact, we should be very familiar with it, is a kind of paint, also known as cloisonne, commonly known as enamel. 

So the enamel kitchenware that sounds like a big deal, and the two cast-iron products below are actually made of the same material. 

The difference is that the body of the enamel kitchenware is made of cast iron and is coated with enamel. In fact, cast iron is the best kitchenware to use at home. Here is an aside. In recent years, there are also rust-free hydrogenated iron technologies, which I believe you have heard about. Cast iron kitchenware is not only heating fast, easy to keep warm, and harmless to the human body, but its biggest disadvantage is that it needs to take care of maintenance, not dry after use, but also easy to rust. So after a layer of non-toxic and high temperature resistant enamel, coupled with the top manufacturing process, the cast iron kitchenware can have a gorgeous appearance and corrosion resistance. 

For a cast-iron kitchenware, there is a sand mold made of sand, and the shape of the kitchenware is cast by pouring pig iron into the mold. When the sand mold is broken, it is a cast iron kitchenware in the rough stage. Then the process is to polish the molded cast iron kitchenware over and over again by machine and manual.

There is not much difference in the production of cast iron kitchenware technology, mainly in the later grinding process. The more expensive kitchenware will be polished more finely, and the quality control of pores will be more strict. After polishing a cast-iron kitchenware over and over again, you make an enamel layer, which you can also think of as coating a metal base with a thin layer of a substance like quartz glass that melts at a high temperature. But the shell is so hard that it won’t come off unless it’s a violent knock. 

Enameled cast-iron kitchenware insulate the cast iron from the air and prevent rust. Moreover, the enamel layer is also acid-resistant and corrosion-resistant, so it will not react with acidic food when cooking, keeping the original flavor of food. The kitchenware is also not easy to residual strange taste, daily cleaning and maintenance will be relatively easier. 

The value of an enamel cast iron kitchenware is reflected in the quality of the cast iron kitchenware itself, such as what iron is used in the kitchenware body? Is the purity high? There is no pollution or whether it contains harmful substances. After all, it has been reported in the news that bad manufacturers use waste iron or heavy metal materials exceeding the standard in order to reduce the cost of making kitchenware. 

The second is reflected in the enamel layer, such as whether there are more impurities, whether the color is full? Is the enamel layer smooth and even? This is directly related to the price of enamel cast iron kitchenware, so you can understand a word: a kitchenware with a good appearance can be sold more expensive. 

High quality enamel cast iron kitchenware can not be separated from high quality raw materials and processing technology, coupled with the late careful grinding and quality inspection, will make worthy of every customer’s products.

Cast iron kitchenware  is not perfect, in addition to beautiful, durable, uniform heat conduction advantages, it also has some disadvantages: such as heavy weight, not suitable for stir-frying, and not suitable for women to operate; Then, poor maintenance will lead to rust, affecting the normal use of the product.
