The use of enamelware in Mexico dates back to the 19th century, but it became popular in the 1930s when a high-quality artisanal industry of kitchen utensils developed, becoming a symbol of Mexican culture and identity.
For many years, enamelware was the preferred material for making kitchen utensils in Mexico due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning. However, its popularity declined in the 1980s as other materials like stainless steel and ceramics gained more presence in the market.
Today, enamelware is revalued for its beauty, its connection to Mexican culture, its versatility, and its qualities: non-toxic, more resistant and durable than ceramic and glass, usable over direct heat, doesn't alter the taste of food, easy to clean, inhibits bacteria growth, and doesn't retain odors or residues.

Dishwasher and cold-friendly: Enamel utensils are dishwasher safe. You can also store them in the refrigerator or freezer without concerns. Their ability to withstand temperature changes is impressive.

Avoid using abrasive sponges or brushes that might scratch the material. Coat the utensil with a thin layer of oil before cooking or baking to facilitate easy cleaning afterwards.
