Enamel Lid

$34.00
Riess

An enamel lid, compatible with Riess serveware pieces like their Enamel 1.5L Jug, Enamel Measuring Jug, and Enamel Pouring Jug. When used with these vessels, the lid functions to retain flavor and heat. A small handle makes it easy to remove. The lid has a silicone seal painted onto the bottom lip and while this forms a more snug seal, please note that it is not intended to be air tight. 

All Riess enamelware features a rim where the enamel meets the edge of the iron, leaving it exposed. This is intentional, and the nature of the manufacturing process imparts slight variation on each piece. Each piece is also hand dipped and as such, your piece may also have areas where the finish is thinner, particularly at edges or corners. This is expected and will not affect the performance of the piece. Always dry your enamelware thoroughly and it should remain rust free. Should rust form, it can easily be removed with dishwashing soap.

Care

Porcelain enamel is glass fused to iron at very high temperatures. It is scratch resistant and long lasting with proper care. 

Riess cookware is suitable for the dishwasher (on the gentle cycle), however, we recommend washing manually to preserve its shine.

More Care Tips:

  • Wash with the smooth side of a cleaning sponge or a soft brush.
  • Avoid using cleaning aids such as wire brushes, steel wool, scouring agents containing harsh abrasives, and cleaning sponges with abrasive particles. 
  • Enamelware is highly scratch resistant, however metal utensils can leave dark marks. These marks can be removed with a mild abrasive compound made for cleaning enamel, or a paste made of baking soda and dish soap. We recommend using wooden or silicone cooking implements on your enamel to avoid these marks.
  • Store the enamelware only after it is properly dried. Spots caused by hard water can be easily removed with vinegar and water. 
  • If rust forms on an exposed or rolled rim, this can be easily removed with dishwashing soap. The open rim can be greased with cooking oil from time to time.

Riess is a European company with a long history. Its roots date back to the year 1550, when the Riess family founded a pan forge in Ybbsitz, Austria. This is where production of the high-quality porcelain enamel kitchenware known as Riess Enamelware began in 1922. 

Today, the company is ninth-generation family run and remains the only porcelain cookware company in Austria. They make all their enamelware in a carbon-neutral facility using locally-generated hydro power from the Ybbs river.
