Granite kettle

Granite cookware or simply granite cookware is a type of enamel.

It was first used in Germany in the late 1700s. It was very effective at high temperatures. It can be used up to 1000 degrees Celsius.

Its glossy surface is due to alloying substances, which are inert and non-porous.

Originally, granite pots were relatively thicker and heavier than they are today.

Overall, it is very practical and safe, of course, with proper care.

Features:

Granite countertops don't rust.
The porcelain surface does not react to acidic products.
You are safe from harmful chemicals such as PTFE, PFOA, lead and cadmium
It is a good conductor of heat, allowing it to heat water and products quickly.
Compared to cast iron products, granite is lighter.
Its smooth and glossy surface is easy to maintain.
Unlike old granite kettles, it is thin and therefore retains temperature well.

Reliability of granite countertops

Every brand makes different kettles, but when it comes to safety, granite kettles are safer than most others, most of which may contain PFOA, lead, and cadmium.

Care and cleaning
