Riess enamel from Ybbsitz
Riess has been making enamel cookware in Ybbsitz, Austria, since 1922.
Depending on the piece, Riess leaves a small spot without enamel on the inner rim or handle. The metal is visible there, and there is a reason for it.
How the spot is formed
Riess describes the moment like this: the steel sheet has just been coated with enamel slip, a finely ground glass mixture, either by dipping or by hand spraying. It hangs on a hook to dry, on the inner rim or handle. No glass adheres there. Then, in the kiln at around 850 degrees, the glass and steel fuse into one material, leaving the metal exposed where the hook was attached.
This spot is called a contact point. There is also the seam, a fine line where a handle has been welded on, and the open edge, where the metal is exposed. According to Riess, none of these three are defects, but traces of the journey from sheet metal to pot.

Glass on steel in your kitchen
Riess describes enamel as glass on steel. For everyday use, Riess recommends the following:
- Hob. Enamel is suitable for all hob types, including induction. Glass and steel expand differently, so start on a low setting and never use the boost function. The coffee maker has a base measuring eleven centimetres: check whether your induction zone detects it.
- Cutlery. The glass surface is scratch- and cut-resistant, so you can use metal knives, forks and kitchen utensils. However, it cannot withstand a hard impact like glass: forcefully tapping the rim or dropping it onto a hard floor can cause the enamel to chip.
- Washing up. It is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to keep it looking its best for longer.
- Contact point and rim. Where there is no glass, at the contact point and along the open rims, the steel is exposed. Keep the cookware well dried, and occasionally rub the open rims with cooking oil. If flash rust appears at the contact point, remove it with washing-up liquid.
- Microwave. Enamel must not go in the microwave.
