What's the difference between graniteware and enamelware?
332021
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

The only difference I can see between the two are maybe the finishes. One looks like it has a matte finish, while the other one is just the standard stainless steel.

The Amazon description of this product includes "porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates" not cast iron cooking grates. I am confused both regarding the question and the answers. Did an earlier model have cast Iron (without the "porcelain-enameled" coating)?

Yes. there is no difference in these pans and other bakeware, except the size. These are smaller.

Glazed stoneware. Some foods will stick but wash out easily. Maybe takes two minutes to thoroughly clean the interior after using. I have two that I use fairly constantly and love the easy clean up. The product is well built and I have had no issues with either one.

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.

Red Vanilla does make both, but the imprint on mine said bone china... It is lighter and does not chip like stoneware does. I've had mine a few years and it is great!

The inside is white enamel. This is basically a knock-off le creuset item, and works just as well as an owner of both)I am unsure about the warranty. I'm really bad about those things. I will say that I've used this MANY TIMES, and even banged it around a bit. No chips in enamel or anything. It's one of my most used pots/pans (along with an all-clad "essential" pan and my copper pots).

The one I have is shiny. I have both the shiny and the matte in both skillets and saucepans. To be honest, I like the matte better. The shiny inevitably becomes scratched. If the matte scratches you don't notice it as much. As long as it's All Clad you can't go wrong. And the saucier is really nice for anything that you really need to stir because it is round inside and no corners for food to collect in.

I am not quite sure if there is a difference but it really bakes evenly and releases from the pan plus it is decorative, and easy to clean. I am really glad I have this set. Hope this helps. I also think cast would be heavier.

look at the contents of Valspar enamel compared to rustoelum, see comparisons

I'm pretty sure they're the same in quality--just different colors. As the previous replies said, the granite was the only color available when I made the purchase. I'm satisfied with that purchase--but I probably would've gotten the white one, had I knew it was it was cheaper.

I think you would call it more "stoneware". They are very nice and all three are good sizes.

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

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.

I think it's enamel . We love the kettle , it still works great and we use it multiple times each day. It heats a full kettle very rapidly.

The biggest difference -- perhaps the **only** difference -- is that the exterior of the $499 set has a matte, brushed aluminum finish (as opposed to the shiny, stainless steel finish of the more expensive set).I bought the less-expensive set, and the brushed-aluminum exterior finish on my set scratched easily and immediately.It was absolutely heartbreaking; it was such lovely cookware for the first 15 seconds out of the box!BUT!!! that said, their performance is every bit as good as the more expensive set. So, if you can live with a less-than-pristine exterior appearance, then you can have a super-high quality product at a good price!Hope this helps.
