What's the difference between graniteware and enamelware?

Graniteware is enamelware with a speckled pattern. So all graniteware is enamelware but not all enamelware is graniteware.

Enamel is a coating put on alum or iron cookware early 1800's..Graniteware is a form of enamelware~It is made by applying a paper with an oxidized pattern on it to a piece of enamelware that was not dry yet..This gives a pattern resembling Granite....It is all enamel...Hope is helps

I don't think there is any difference or advantage. The glazed pieces are just prettier. My favorite piece is the baking bowl and that one is not glazed at all. The deep dish baker is great for using in the microwave

Thank you for your prompt response. What a bargain the Granite Ware is compared to Le Creuset and other pans!

I don't really know the difference, but there must be something because I tried first with a pumice stone and the stains didn't come out.

I love the white enamelware. It's a personal reason, though. My grandma had the white enamelware, so it brings back good memories, plus it goes with everything! Hope this helps.

Porcelain is better in my opinion. It diffuses the heat much better and when grease hits the rods the flare ups are much less. Much better investment than stainless.

It depends on what you want to cook, I think both do similar things, the Rmertopf is bigger, more traditional, the glazing makes cleaning the chef a bit more easier.

essentially the difference is both sets are stainless steel inside, but the less expensive one has a brushed aluminum surface. The more expensive one is stainless on the outside too.

Hi there, I think they are stoneware- heavier and a little more durable than ceramic, but some folks refer to them as ceramic. I hope my answer helps!

I never liked enamel coated cookware. Because they chip at the edges, and starts rusting. --- TDD

Yes, it definitely is. I wondered too, then I was given a cuisinart cast iron version. The cuisinart brand is heavier (definitely not a good thing since all cast iron is heavy, but add food, and it's really heavy), food Tends to stick more, and the enamel is hopelessly stained. Also, the le creusetIs prettier. Definitely much much better.

This is from the WearEver company itself. "Porcelain Enamel--Dishwasher Safe ....Oven safe to 350 ºF if handles have anysilicone or phenolic parts.--Oven safe to 500ºF if handles are all stainless steel. Hope this helps ;)

The instruction book says the drip pan is porcelain enamel...seems like all the interior is the same type metal (made in China) -- I love my Rosewill!!

Neither, but closer to seasoned cast iron than non-stick. It's an enamel inside, which gets progressively more non-stick the more you cook on it. However, its more delicate than a seasoned cast iron, so you want to use silicon implements on it whenever possible.

When I bought my StoneLine set I thought they were just different brand names for the same thing, StoneDine in New Zealand and StoneLine everywhere else. Something to do with trademarks? But apparently they're made and sold by entirely different companies. I don't know about StoneDine but my StoneLine set is the best cookware I've ever used.

Hi: I am really not an expert but I do have some basic knowledge through my own personal research over the years due to my own awareness of what materials I am cooking my food in. Stoneware is simply a clay type of material and completely safe. Ceramic has a different type of finish. Stoneware is more clay type base but both of those are great to cook in. There are no safety standards based on my research. Actually it is highly recommended.

The edge is not enameled. I have 4 Le Creuset enamel cast iron Dutch ovens that I use weekly. I purchased my first one about 10 years ago. I have never had any trouble with rust. I don't put them in the dishwasher; I handwash and let them air dry. I have occasionally left them filled with soapy water for 24 hrs or so...not because they needed to soak that long but because I was lazy...and they never formed rust. They were not fully submersed in water, just filled with water. I don't recommend doing this, but I would think if rust was going to form, it would have in such instances.
