Enamelware

Let’s focus a bit on the magic and power of enamelware. The memories connected to them… From cups to plates, pots to bowls. Why are these so special to some of us?

Enamelware is Versatile

Apart from their strength and the ability to withstand harsh environments these bad babies can turn into whatever you need for a meal. A bowl can become a pot if you need, a cup or even a food warmer. If you have a lid or plate, you have yourself a pot. Just make sure you wash it first please.  

If you leave your food for later and it gets cold? No worries, you add a bit of water to the food, cover it with a lid and put it on the stove or some bricks over an open fire.  Then wait for the food to get warm. (Side Note: Make sure you don’t add parts of yourself to the roasting/warming list when you remove the bowl from the fire or stove). See! Now you have yourself a warm meal. 

Cooking with Enamelware

Don’t go and put this in a microwave. I don’t know what will happen if you do and I’ve never been interested in knowing. If you love dumblings, pop the bowl into a big pot, add water and cook. Of course, the bowl is magical but if you put it in the pot empty you’ll be eating nothlings. 

And if your relationship with ingredients is toxic, don’t feed anyone anything you make. Unless your intention is to help encourage a strong bond between the unfortunate person/or people and a bathroom.

For those of you who live with the toxic food maker, get yourself lots of water or just start fasting. It’s safer.

Enamelware is Resilient

Let’s get into the power of enamelware. You can drop your enamel many times and it will still go on. It might get chipped here and there, get bent but it will still stand and its purpose will remain the same. In the unfortunate event that it starts leaking, you just patch up the hole and keep going.

Find Your Inner Enamel

Be as resilient as enamelware. With all your scars and life knocking you down, keep pushing. Acknowledge the damage, patch yourself up, adapt and keep being magical. And remember, enamel is backed by its manufacturers, but you child, you are backed by your Creator, your forefathers and their wisdom and strength. You, Are Greatness. Embrace Your Essence, Accept Yourself.
