[Preface]
"Wow, this pot is so beautiful, it's just too expensive!" Looking at the beautiful pot in front of him worth 5,000 yuan, many people are discouraged, and it is because of this that the enamel pot has become synonymous with fashion and taste.
However, many knowledgeable people bluntly said: Isn't this just an enamel pot? How can it be worth a hundred times if it is changed to a "foreign name"? Why is it so expensive, isn't this just a money grab?
What is the difference between enamel and enamel?
【French "National Treasure" - Enamel Pot】
"What kind of enamel pot is this? Isn't this the enamel pot I used before?" this sentence came from the mouth of an old woman who was holding a brightly colored pot and reprimanding her granddaughter who was a "loser".
After listening to her grandmother's words, the girl was obviously not convinced: "This is an enamel pot imported from France, worth 5,000 yuan!"
Looking at her granddaughter's obsessive appearance, the grandmother was very angry, and she really didn't understand, it was obviously an enamel pot, how could it appear in our lives with a new image in a blink of an eye, and it became synonymous with fashion and high-end?
In fact, the enamel pot is a "national treasure" in France, and it is not only well-known in the culinary world, but also an indispensable part of daily life.
In fact, enamel can also be called "enamel" because they are composite materials made by coating a glass material on a metal surface and firing.
As early as the Middle Ages, enamelling was widely used in Europe, and France was one of the best among them.
In the 18th century, the art of enamelling in France reached its peak, with the creation of a variety of fine majolica ware, and over time, the enamel pot gradually became the representative of French kitchenware, winning numerous accolades and honors.
So why are the enamel pots so popular in France?
Moreover, the enamel pot is also very well sealed, which can retain the original flavor of the ingredients, just like our Chinese pressure cooker, which can show its excellent performance in stewing and boiling during long-term cooking.
The most important thing is that the design style of the enamel pot is very popular with young people, it is colorful and has different shapes, whether it is simple or luxurious, it can complement all styles of kitchens.
The enamel pot is not only suitable for traditional gas stoves, but also for modern stoves such as induction cookers, and the enamel pot is not only suitable for stewing and cooking, but can also be used for roasting, frying and other cooking methods.
Thanks to its tight lid and even heat distribution, the enamel pot is also able to achieve very good results when baking desserts such as bread and cakes.
Don't look at the enamel pot is made of vitreous material, but it is not fragile, and in daily use, it can be kept clean by simply wiping it with a soft cloth, and for stubborn stains and scorch marks, it can be cleaned with a mild detergent.
From the above point of view, you can understand why the enamel pot is deeply loved by modern young people, after all, who doesn't want a high-value "cooking artifact"?
【The long history of enamel】
In fact, enamel was not used to make pots in the earliest days, as an ancient craft, it can be used for a variety of purposes......
The origins of enamel can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian period, but it was during the centuries that enamel really developed and flourished in Europe.
In ancient Europe, enamel was mainly used for the decoration of utensils, sculptures and jewelry, etc., and with the passage of time, enamel gradually developed from a simple ornament to a handicraft with practical value.
In the Middle Ages, European craftsmen began to apply enamel to metal utensils to create a variety of exquisite tableware and containers, which were not only beautiful and generous, but also had good heat and corrosion resistance, so they were loved by people.
In France, the development of enamel was at its peak, and French artisans continued to explore and innovate, combining enamel with other materials to create a richer and more diverse work.
At the beginning of the 18th century, French watchmakers began to apply enamel to their watchmaking, and each piece of these enamel clocks was a work of art with bright colors and beautiful patterns.
French jewelers also often use enamel to decorate their jewelry, making it even more sparkling......
[What is the difference between French enamel and our Chinese enamel]
So how does French enamel relate to Chinese enamel?
In fact, enamel and enamel are both a process in which vitreous materials are applied to metal surfaces, but due to regional, cultural and historical differences, they have completely different descriptions and names.
The origins of Chinese enamel can be traced back to ancient times, and our ancestors, in their long practice, discovered that applying glazes to the surface of metal objects can play a protective and decorative role.
After thousands of years of development, the enamel process gradually matured and was widely used in daily necessities.
It's just that in recent years, some other pots and pans have replaced enamel pots, so they have gradually been forgotten and abandoned, but they didn't expect it to be directly transformed into an enamel pot, with a more beautiful body appeared in the Chinese market, and became the favorite of young people.
The "rebirth" of enamel is not accidental, with the pursuit of consumers' quality of life and attention to health, it is inevitable that enamel pots are favored by the market.
Because compared with traditional metal pots and pans, enamel pots have better heat resistance and heat retention, which can better retain the original flavor of ingredients, and will not produce harmful substances, which is healthier for the human body.
It's a pity that the enamel pot, which was supposed to be labeled with a Chinese label, unexpectedly became an enamel pot represented by France......
【Conclusion】
Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, all kinds of kitchen utensils have come one after another, and the large iron pots and aluminum pots that have been used by people have also been eliminated.
And now the kitchenware is more beautiful, and the materials used are more healthy and environmentally friendly!
