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 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!!

Enamel-coated cast iron has it uses, as does regular cast iron. Enameled cast iron is great, particularly with Dutch or French ovens when slow cooking is desired. The enamel coating is not as reactive as plain cast iron allowing for slow basting of reactive ingredients such as tomato sauce (acidic). Tomato sauce cooked for an extended time in a plain cast iron pot will react with the cast iron and also has the potential of stripping off the very carefully cultivated seasoning on your pan. 'Naked' cast iron is great for searing and cooking meat because you can safely turn up the heat under your plain cast iron (something you should never do with enameled cast iron). Enameled cast iron should not be used with burners over the medium setting, limiting their usefulness in searing meat. I have both types and use them for different types of cooking. For a grill pan such as this one...my preference is this pre-seasoned Lodge pan and NOT an enameled version of the same.

Yes it is. The difference is the /10 means it has nickel in it which helps it retain it's shine for years to come. I've had mine for a year and it's by far the best flatware I've ever had! I'm very happy with it. It does have a nice heavy weight to it, beautiful design and shine, and the sizes are perfect (imo). And best of all, I have not had any rusting! I had spent months shopping for and researching flatware. I got sick of wasting money on flatware that just ended up rusting. So I definitely made a great choice with this set, no regrets at all!

There is no difference. combo cost less its plus, but both stones are thinner than separate stone and also have only 1 working surface - its minus. So separate stone will last longer. I think, before you gonna buy stone, you have to decide how often you will use stone and where. I bought combo only because i use it on work and its take less space. For home you can take separate stone. But dont forget - you will need flattering stone or plate. Just a couple of use and you need to fix surface. My advice - buy this combo and stone on 400 or 800 grits. This 3 stone will last longer than 2 separate stones, and money will be pretty much same There is no difference. combo cost less its plus, but both stones are thinner than separate stone and also have only 1 working surface - its minus.

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.

The components of the blender are essentially the same, the only difference is the exterior (brushed Stainless) and the recipe book has gourmet recipes endorsed by the CIA ( Culinary Institute of America ). I recently upgraded my kitchen with granite And opted to spend a little more $$$. My brother has the black 5200 and the blenders perform the same.

Don't know if I can help--I can't say I know the difference. I think polished/mirror since they are shinier than perhaps brushed stainless might be. I just know I love my pots, they are easy to clean, and they look lovely.

Mine is solid cast iron, and looks like the one on the picture. I purchased it 11 months ago. My parents have the granite, and I will say I like it better, because of the flat surface. If I may recommend a type of cheese... EDAM cheese works really well with the raclette set. Enjoy!

I have several stoneware products all from Pampered Chef. However there is no real difference or advantage of glazed or un-glazed they all cook wonderfully if treated right. I do prefer the glazed as I can display these as a serving dish

that's hard to say, i called the manufacturer and they claim the cookware version is "specially formulated" for cookware and has extra stuff in it. i've read a few comparison reviews and most said they were unable to tell the difference.

I don't think there is a difference. The oven cooks using convection and infrared technology. I don't know why they list them different. I bought this black one with the extender ring. I love it. It comes with a pan, 2 metal racks, the extender ring and a DVD to show you how to use it. They also give you a plastic coated 8x11 card that is a quick guide to how long to cook meats and a little cook book. Here's my advice to you. They give you this lid holder. Don't use it. I think that is one of the reasons people's domes are cracking. The plastic gets really hot and the heating unit on top is heavy. When I want to check or turn the food, I pause it and completely take the dome off and place it upright on a wooden cutting board. Further more. When your food is done cooking, take the heating unit off the dome and let them cool separately. After the dome is cool, as in after your meal, hand wash it. People seem to have a problem with the dome cracking. I don't. I never put it in the dishwasher and I never leave it on it's side. Other than that, it's a great oven and I highly recommend it.

A french Oven is normally enamelled but a dutch oven is normally not enamelled.French ovens are long lasting for slow cooking..Dutch ovens are an older cast iron design.There are now a number of French USA and Chinese companies making French Ovens

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.

Also - How does calphanon compare to le creuset? That's what we have mostly but our skillets are old cast iron.
