What's an Enamel Mug?

Enamel is a material produced by fusing powdered glass to a substrate. It is fired with additive pigments. Covering steel elements with enamel protects the base material from rust, gives the ware a pleasing aesthetic, and guarantees health and safety when enamelware is used in the kitchen.

What are enamel mugs used for?

While they're not best for high-heat searing, enamel pots can handle simmerring, braising, and stewingβ€”and the mugs cup piping hot coffee as well as any piece of ceramic.

Is it safe to drink from enamel cups?

Are Enamel Mugs Toxic? Enamel mugs are toxic-free as the enamel coating is inert and heat-stable even at high temperatures. An enamel mug that is chipped on the outside or on the rim is safe to use.
