History of graniteware

Graniteware is not something new. It was available from the 1870s until the end of World War II. Those graniteware items were manufactured using iron or tin.

Those were heavier as many layers of glass coating were added. One of the main reasons graniteware became popular is because it had a glass surface, but was strong as metal. The surface was glossy and so it was easy to maintain.

The modern graniteware kitchen pieces are made of glass coating and steel core. The glass surface is created by fusing porcelain enamel with metal at a very high temperature of 2,000 F. This creates an inert and non-stick surface. Unlike before the graniteware items are now thinner and lightweight and so are more convenient to use.

Before the popularity of modern granite stone pans, Teflon non-stick pans were most demanding in the market. But those pans were coated with polytetrafluoroethylene or Teflon.

There has been a rumor that Teflon is toxic. It was thought that the non-stick coating of the pan might come off and people might accidentally ingest it. There is no such rumor about graniteware kitchen items and so they are safe to use.
