How to Clean Enamal Cookware

Porcelain-enameled cookware comes in a variety of colors, making it an attractive option in the kitchen. Enamel pots and pans usually have the porcelain coating applied over sturdy steel or iron. The enamel creates a rust-proof item that is durable and distributes heat evenly. Cleaning the enamel pots and pans ensures it looks its best and prevents the chipping that can ruin this type of cookware.
