The disadvantage is that it is easy to knock off the porcelain. For example, when certain foods are fried and cooked, a chemical reaction will occur, which will also cause some harm.

Enamel tableware is actually metal tableware covered with a layer of porcelain. It is used more by the older generation. Because the calcination temperature is low, the porcelain formed is not stable enough. When the enamel cup comes into contact with food, especially acidic food, harmful metals will leak out. After the porcelain on the surface is damaged, the heavy metal hidden under the porcelain will more easily seep out.

Precautions for using enamel pots:

Be careful not to empty the pot and make drastic changes in heat and cold. Before use, put oil or water in the pot and then heat it. According to the prescribed thermal stability standards, the pot can adapt to temperature changes from 320 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius. If it exceeds this range, the porcelain will easily burst and break. If you burn it empty first and then pour water or oil, the temperature difference will change greatly and it will easily explode.

When using a porcelain bowl to steam food, use a bamboo separator, otherwise the water in the bottom circle of the bowl will dry out first, causing porcelain removal. If you use a flat-bottomed enamel bowl to steam food, there will be no porcelain removal.
