On the white pot, does the enamel dull/stain easily or is it made to last like the authentic vintage ones were?

Don't know about the white but the granite wear is very cheap. . .not at all like the vintage kind that would last forever. I am sorry I bought mine. . .don't waste your money

The idea behind having enamel on the pan is to remove the need to season it. You can wash it as little or as much as you like, put it in the dishwasher, whatever. I've used this pan almost every day since the day I've bought it, and it shows no wear.

The inside is coated with cream-colored enamel; it's a great pot...I use it all the time.

Yes, the ceramic stains very easily. It also scratches easily. We have only used bamboo utensils in the pans and they are very scratched. I was very disappointed after using these pans for just a few days.

I've owned mine for probably 5 years (all white), writing on teaspoon and tablespoon is rubbing off (the ones I use most). Also, white will discolor slightly if using for certain spices. I washed with a little bleach but the surface has lost its shine. I got tired of babying them and found a used set of stainless Foleys on eBay. Grandma used them, they are 2-sided and very sturdy.

I really enjoy my teapot and cups. I have experienced minor paint chipping on the cups, but no problems with the enamel - I am guessing my issues come from storing my set on top of the refridgerator where there is constant heat. No issues with taste.

Yes,I bought this for my mom and she only uses the whislte if she is going to be out of the kitchen when she has it on. It has been used daily and no problems with enamel chipping, beautiful little kettle.

Yes it is enamel and mine does stick and burn if you are not careful. Use lower heat and keep stirring.

oh yes. The inside is enameled. We use our pot to boil water over a open camp fire. The handle stays cool (but we usually use a pot holder).We used our pot all summer at Civil war reenactment and it worked really great!

It is just a white Teflon surface. It will discolor and darken when used. The surface will degrade quickly if put in the dishwasher. I ruined one out of sheer laziness.

It's normal for stains to develop on the clay pot. I always use a brush and water only to clean mine and I don't worry about any colorations on the pot. I have used mine a lot and it doesn't seem to affect the functioning of it. I always soak mine in water for about 15-30 minutes before actually placing it in the cool oven for cooking, however.

The Lodge is completely enameled. Unless you scratch off the enamel, it will not rust. I love my Lodge Dutch Ovens, I have 3 now.

Wow, never thought I would ever see that question. We have had a white Kitchen aid for 31 years. There are some superficial blemishes in the paint but not down to the metal, after 31 years sort of expect a little wear. My wife loved that one so much she felt like she needed a newer one. So I got her the KSM152PSCP in brushed nickel. She has only had it maybe 5 years. Because of the type of finish if it has scratches, you can not tell. Oh yea, the old one still works great, the new has a more powerful motor. She wanted the new one because of the motor and the finish.

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).

Yes it is enameled on the inside. Love, love, love this pot. Use on stovetop or oven. Clean up is so easy. Linda
