From the Mackenzie-Childs Website:Enamelware After developing our first designs in 1995, and unable to find a manufacturer in the U.S., we traveled to Taiwan and found a production company that was able to work with us to see our vision fulfilled, and that’s where our very first pieces were produced. Creating enamelware is time-honored and time-consuming process. The production facilities are modern, but many of the techniques developed by the ancient Egyptians—enamelware has been around for that long—are still in use. Raw steel bodies are machine-milled or hand-formed, glazed, and then kiln fired at temperatures of more than 1, 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Each piece is coated again with a colored frit-based glaze and refired.Please take care with your enamelware—while the surface is strong and durable, it’s not indestructible. Rough handling, banging or dropping a piece may cause the glazed glass surface to chip. As with any enamel product, some scratching and dulling of the surface is likely to occur over time.Our enamelware exceeds both federal food safety regulations and California’s Proposition 65, the strictest environmental safety standards in the U.S. Handle enamelware with care, and discontinue use for food service if it becomes chipped, cracked, or broken.MacKenzie-Childs cookware is composed of a heavyweight steel underbody, glazed twice, then hand decorated with our signature designs. Bronzed stainless steel rims are added to both the body and the lid, and 18/10 stainless steel knobs and handles are added to finish each piece. The enamel finish is stain- and chip-resistant.While most enamelware pieces are dishwasher safe (except those with rattan, wood or knobs), hand-washing and drying will extend the life and lustre of the finish. When washing, use a nonabrasive soap and sponge or nylon pad only. Dry immediately for best results. If marking from silverware should occur, apply a paste of baking soda and water to the area, and rub gently to remove marks. Avoid using sharp knives on enamelware, as they may damage the finish. To remove burnt-on food, use a nylon-covered pad or wooden scraper, or loosen with a solution of baking soda and water. Pieces that do not have rattan, wood, knobs, or other embellishments may be used in an oven, up to a maximum temperature of 400 degrees. Be sure the piece is at room temperature before it is placed in a warm oven. Do not use enamelware in a microwave oven. If food surfaces become chipped, discontinue use. Acidic food may dull the surface of the enamel but will not otherwise damage it.ALL of my M-C auction items and in my online store, tayrose.com unless stated otherwise, were designed and made from the period when Victoria and Richard were owners and worked at the factory.Contact for more photos or questions.I will ship within 2 business days after payment has been confirmed.
