Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal and may crack or chip with misuse.
Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. All spillovers, especially
acidic or sugar spillovers, should be wiped up immediately with a dry cloth.
Surface may discolor or dull if soil, especially acidic soil, is not removed.
Never wipe off a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth. This may cause
cracking and chipping. Never use oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic
