Care Instructions FAQ's

Is Lumela Afrika enamelware durable for everyday use?

Yes! Our enamelware is both durable and functional, designed to be enjoyed daily while adding colour to your table.

What is the enamelware made from?

Each piece is crafted from porcelain enamel on heavy-gauge steel, giving it strength and long-lasting quality.

Is the paint safe?

Absolutely. All designs are hand-painted using non-toxic, lead-free paints, making them safe for everyday use.

How should I wash my enamelware?

We recommend hand-washing gently in warm water with mild soap. This helps preserve the painted finish for years to come.

Can I use it on an open flame or in the dishwasher?

No. Enamelware is not suitable for open flame, microwaves, dishwashers, or use with sharp knives as these may damage the surface.
