Materials
Enamel-on-Steel cookware is made of long-lasting, high-quality German enamel guaranteed not to fade, paired with a heavy-gauge carbon-steel core designed to deliver fast and even heat distribution. Enamel-on-steel is made by fusing colored glass to metal at just the right temperature to create a new compound that’s durable and corrosion-resistant. The "A" quality enamel used by Chantal is resistant to acids and alkalines and is made from natural materials, such as sand and minerals. Because the surface is nonporous, it is naturally stick-resistant, non-reactive to acidic foods, and nonabsorbent to oils, preserving the product for generations. In addition, the surface doesn't require seasoning or polishing. The smooth, glass-like finish is highly stick-resistant, meaning chefs can use less oil while cooking. Chantal's Enamel-on-Steel sauté pans feature an additional Excalibur nonstick surface for extra stick-resistance. Excalibur carries a 25 year warranty.
Handles and lids
Enamel-on-Steel cookware features stainless-steel handles engineered to stay cool on the stovetop. A pocket between the handle and the pan prevents heat from transferring to the handle. To boost storage options, handles include holes on the ends for hanging on racks or hooks. Larger pots, such as stockpots or casseroles, feature twin Enamel-on-Steel helper handles on both sides. Tempered shatter-resistant glass lids are oven-safe to 375 degrees F.
How Chantal cookware is made
Chantal pots are manufactured in Germany, where people have been perfecting the art of enameling for centuries. Basic pots are stamped out of a sheet of carbon steel, which is specially engineered to give Chantal pots a smooth finish without dimples or ripples. Carbon steel can withstand much higher temperatures than other metals, which enables Chantal to produce rich, high-gloss enamel colors. After the pots are stamped and shaped out of carbon steel, they're soaked in a series of baths to remove oil and dirt in preparation for the enameling process.
Enameling
At the enameling mill, glass fragments (known as frit), minerals, and color pigments are ground down to a fine powder. The formulation and consistency of the ingredients are crucial to the final appearance of Chantal's enamel finish. Once the glass enamel slip is perfected, Chantal applies up to three different coats of enamel. Between each coating, the glass frit is vitrified in a high-temperature furnace. This high-firing process "seals" the inner carbon steel in a glass-like outer shell, providing a durable, non-porous cooking surface that will maintain the flavor and quality of foods.
Cookware testing
During the enameling process, the pots undergo a series of tests to ensure Chantal's high quality standards. At Chantal's headquarters in Houston, Texas, the quality control department tests for color accuracy, enamel density, chemical resistance, oxidation, and enamel adherence. Among the most rigorous tests are the Thermal Shock Test, in which a pan is heated beyond normal cooking temperatures and then submerged into very cold water, and the Impact Resistance Test, in which a firing pin with a metal ball emits 80 kg/cm2 of pressure onto the enamel to check for proper adherence. Once the pans pass Chantal's rigid testing procedures, they go to final assembly and packaging.
Stick-resistance
Chantal Enamel-on-Steel is stick-resistant. However, if you experience sticking, it may be caused by high heat. When fat or oils smoke, the heat is too high. Food films also cause sticking, so clean the pan thoroughly. Nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of cooking oil help reduce sticking. Chantal Enamel-on-Steel sauté pans feature an added layer of nonstick material for extra stick-resistance.
Stirring and handling
Chantal enamel is durable, so feel free to use your metal utensils (except on the nonstick sauté pans, which prefer nylon or wooden utensils). But do not use knives or electric beaters. Chantal's high-quality enamel is the most chip-resistant available, and its stainless-steel rims prevent chipping, but be careful not to drop the cookware on a ceramic floor or kitchen sink. The cookware is freezer-safe. Chantal's tempered glass lids are shatter-resistant and oven-safe up to 375 degrees F. Avoid exposing the lids directly to a hot burner or flame, and avoid extreme temperature changes.
Caring for Enamel-on Steel cookware
Never preheat Chantal cookware without water. When left on high heat, Chantal can reach 1,000 degrees F in just two minutes, destroying the enamel surface. To protect the beauty of your Chantal cookware, avoid strong impacts, overheating, and preheating while empty. Never let liquids boil dry, as it will damage your cookware and void the warranty. Chantal gets hotter faster than ordinary cookware because of its steel core. Low to medium heat is all you need for most cooking applications (except when boiling water).
Cleaning Enamel-on Steel cookware
Most Enamel-on-Steel cookware is dishwasher-safe, except the nonstick sauté pans, for which hand washing is recommended. Do not use steel wool scouring pads, oven cleaners, or strong abrasive cleaners on Chantal. In hard water areas, mineral deposits may accumulate at the water line. To remove, rub with a small amount of vinegar or baking soda. For the occasional dried-on or burnt food, mix 2 teaspoons Arm & Hammer super washing soda, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and water. Simmer ingredients and water in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, let the pan cool to room temperature, and then rinse. Repeat if necessary. Soft Scrub cleaner is another excellent cleaner for keeping the interior and exterior of the enamel shiny.
Enamel-on-Steel warranty
Chantal Enamel-on-Steel cookware carries a lifetime warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty guarantees repair or replacement at no charge of any piece of cookware showing defects in material or workmanship under normal use following the preceding use and care instructions. If an item is no longer available, a pan of similar value will be substituted. Every piece of Chantal cookware goes through two separate quality-control checkpoints and is deemed to be of the highest quality.
Chantal excludes the following from the warranty:

- Minor imperfections and slight color variations in the enamel or metals that are a normal part of the craftsmanship
- Wearable components that can be replaced
Nonstick warranty
Because Enamel-on-Steel sauté pans are coated in Chantal's Excalibur nonstick material, they are covered by a limited 25-year warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty guarantees repair or replacement at no charge of any piece of cookware showing defects in material or workmanship under normal use following the preceding use and care instructions. If an item is no longer available, a pan of similar value will be substituted. Every piece of Chantal nonstick cookware goes through two separate quality-control checkpoints and is deemed to be of highest quality.

What !?! This Thing Is FANTASTIC!,
By
This review is from: Chantal Enamel-On-Steel 11-Quart Roaster/Broiler, Cobalt Blue (Kitchen)
I must respectfully but strongly DISAGREE with the reviewer who felt the need to give this roaster one star. WHAT!?! My wife and I have used ours for a few years now. Yes, it's large, but it's a ROASTER! All roasters are large. The other reviewer paradoxically complained about how this roaster was too small to fit a large turkey, then complained that it was too large to store. So I guess it's too small AND too large? That makes no sense at all to me.I'll tell you the key feature of this roaster: it's self basting. Look closely at the large photo and you'll see little dimples in the lid. As the meat is roasting, liquid collects on dimples inside the lid, then falls in droplets on the meat, keeping it moist. It really works! No opening and closing the oven, fiddling with a baster, etc., with this piece of equipment. The offset handles help the roaster fit into the oven better. The enamel is tough as well as beautiful to look at. The walls of the roaster are thick and strong, making those ordinary aluminum roasters look like tinfoil junk. And the quality of this piece is evident through and through. This one will last you a lifetime. Without the lid, the bottom portion makes a good roasting pan, too, for those times when that's all you need. And yes, this roaster will take up lots of space in your dishwasher, but it cleans beautifully. Is running the dishwasher once to clean it such a large price to pay for a great, troublefree meal and an easy cleanup? I won't tell you to buy this one, but I can honestly say that if you do you are likely to be quite pleased with it. I know we are!

22 Pound Turkey?,
By "kawwwwww" (Cranston, RI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chantal Enamel-On-Steel 11-Quart Roaster/Broiler, Cobalt Blue (Kitchen)
It will hold a 22 lb. turkey - but it's a very tight fit. Even so, I 've cooked a 22 pounder in this thing, and it worked much better than one of those aluminum jobs you get at the grocery store for a few bucks. Much better! The hardened steel core creats a mini oven that produces a very evenly cooked bird, or whatever. This is a very well made roaster.

Still loving it after 22 years!,

This review is from: Chantal Enamel-On-Steel 11-Quart Roaster/Broiler, Cobalt Blue (Kitchen)
I bought one of these roasters as a college graduation present to myself and have never regretted it. Leave the lid on with two chickens or a medium size turkey inside and the moisture stays inside creating great results every time. No dry poultry for me! Plus the steam helps to cook the bird faster than traditional pans. Yes, it's large and I like it that way because it holds what I want to put in it. I don't mind it taking up valuable real estate in my kitchen because I use it at least once every month. I am now thinking about ordering one for my niece as a wedding gift in hopes that she'll enjoy using it as much as I do! I can't tell you how many wonderful dinners this pan has been a part of. It allows me to devote time to other parts of the meal because I don't have to fuss over the meat because it produces great results every time - no kidding.
