They are made of the same enamel material; can both storage containers and pots be put in the dishwasher?

Since they are enamel tableware from the same brand, it is easy to assume the care methods would also be the same. However, depending on the product shape, the standards for usable home appliances differ, making one hesitate before putting them in the dishwasher.

If I write the date on the outside of the enamel storage container with a marker, will it erase cleanly?

When storing side dishes or food ingredients, sometimes you want to write the date or name directly on the container's surface without putting on label tape. This leads to wondering if marker marks will erase cleanly during dishwashing without staining.

What role do the scale marks engraved inside the measuring cup actually play when in use?

There are times when it is unclear whether a measuring cup should be used merely as a tool to measure quantities, or if it can be placed directly over heat like a pot to cook.

What kind of mark is the 'trivet mark' mentioned in the enamel product guide?

This is because I wonder what exactly the trivet marks or glaze pooling described in the product explanation—along with the note stating they are not defects—actually are.

[노다호로] 법랑 다용도 볼 (10size)

hmmm editorial answer

Trivet marks are natural traces of the manufacturing process that occur when placing vessels on a support stand while firing them at high temperatures after coating the metal surface with glass glaze.

When placing the enamel container over a fire or in an oven to reheat food, can the lid also be kept on?

Thinking only of enamel's characteristic of being able to be heated directly in the container, it is easy to be confused about whether it can be placed over a fire with the lid kept on. This is because the materials of the body and the lid are different, so the heat limits they can withstand differ.

[노다호로] 법랑 화이트 시리즈 직사각 용기 (4size)
hmmm editorial answer

Unlike the body, which is glass-coated metal, the lid only withstands up to 70℃, so the lid must be removed when placing it over a fire or putting it in an oven.

Can all NODA HORO enamel products be used on induction cooktops?

After seeing enamel pots that can be cooked on induction cooktops, you might wonder if other storage containers can also be heated. This question is to verify whether usage standards differ depending on the shape or purpose, even for the same enamel material.
