With our enamelware and utensils, mealtime is never the same. Utilitario Mexicano's eclectic and timeless color palette adds a touch of surprise to every dining experience. In these enamel plates, food doesn't just look different, it tastes different! Try a quesadilla on pastel pink, a tamale on nopal green, a green salad on mustard yellow, or red salsa on capri blue.

Made from enameled steel, enamelware is ideal for domestic use due to its vibrant colors and durability. It's a favorite among children and preferred for daily use in restaurants, bars, or for taking on excursions and picnics.

The use of enamelware in Mexico dates back to the 19th century, but it wasn't until the 1930s that it gained popularity when a craft industry of high-quality 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, resistance to corrosion, and ease of cleaning. However, in the 1980s, its popularity declined as other materials like stainless steel and ceramics began to dominate the market.

Today, enamelware is being rediscovered for its beauty, its connection to Mexican culture, its versatility, and its unique qualities: it's non-toxic, more robust and durable than ceramics and glass, can be used directly over an open flame, doesn't alter the taste of food, is easy to clean, inhibits bacterial growth, and doesn't retain odors or residues.
