Enamel-coated steel or iron pots and pans are very popular. In the case of steel, this type of cookware is sometimes called "EOS" or enamel-on-steel cookware. You'll also see the phrases, "porcelain enamel," "porcelain," or "vitreous enamel" used when describing these pots and pans. As a coating, enamel is similar in some ways to glass and is typically formulated with a variety of minerals and clays, sometimes including hydroxyapatite, one of the key forms of bone mineral in our bodies. Porcelain- and enamel-coated cookware is fine to use although they should not be used at very high heats.
