Natural Materials

With its natural steelcoated porcelain construction, enamelware delivers a nonstick, lightweight, and easy-toclean solution that promotes sustainability and convenience in the kitchen.

Ethical Production

Our international supply chain meets Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit standards for social and environmental ethics. Audits are conducted every 1-2 years, and our energy-efficient, electric-powered factory meets the highest standards of health, safety and fair labor.

Crow Canyon Products What Sets Us

Apart

Safe & Nontoxic

Our enamelware is tested to FDA and California safety standards, including CA Prop 65. All of our products are completely lead-free and cadmium-safe—for stress-free meals from your kitchen counter to the campfire. Even when chipped, it’s 100% food-safe.

Versatile Use

Zero Waste

We’d save 830,000 tons of plastic in the U.S. annually if we all transitioned from plastic plates and cups to enamelware*. Plus, we’re on our way to reaching 100% recyclable packaging. Enamelware is a simple way to go easier on the planet. Get great taste with less waste.

Handmade

A skilled maker hand-dips the steel with multiple coats of porcelain, then fires it in a kiln before applying the color by hand. Each Splatterware Plate is handpainted, and each Vintage Mug rim is hand-rolled with food-safe enamel. We bring traditional craft to the modern table.
