As many of you may know, porcelainis a type ofceramic thatis composed mostly of a whiteclaycalledkaolin with the addition offeldspars,quartz, steatite and other substances. The whole compound is cookedat 1300-1400 degrees. As well as clay and glass ceramics, porcelain may be glazed or not.
The porcelain enamel cookware is made by melting the porcelain together with a stronger metal component.That’s why the enamel porcelain ischaracterized by highhardness and lowporosity. And that’s whyporcelain enamel kitchenware isat once strong, durable and lightweight.
