Reiss Kelomat

Reiss Kelomat, Enamel Cookware
Austria
Riess Kelomat are a family-owned Austrian manufactory producing high-quality enamelware, in the Lower Austrian Mostviertel region. The company’s roots date back to the year 1550, when the original iron pan forge was founded in Ybbsitz in the Lower Austrian Mostviertel region, and became family owned in 1690. Over the decades that followed, the forge evolved into a metal drawing and pressing business, until the three Riess brothers, Julian, Leopold and Josef, pivoted and began creating high-quality porcelain enamel cookware to create durable, rust-resistant, non-toxic coatings for steel cookware.
Riess Kelomat produce beautiful, covetable enamel cookware, which is highly regarded for its beautiful form and effective function, and also for the highly responsible mode of its production. Ahead of their time in terms of environmental consideration, the family built three hydropower plants along the Great Ybbs river and Little Ybbs rivers between 1926 and 1935. Their old coal furnaces, which produced soot and exhaust fumes and polluted the environment, were replaced by emission-free electric enamelling furnaces — freeing production from dependence on fossil fuels at a stroke.
Today, they operate four of their own hydroelectric power stations, generating so much green electricity that they feed roughly 65% of the excess energy back into the public power grid. The company achieves CO₂-neutral production primarily through this strategic use of in-house hydroelectric power, but they also reduce their emmisions through the use of cold-forming processes. Before the enamel coating is applied, the steel bases, pots, and lids are shaped using mechanical deep-drawing presses. Because this metal shaping is done via a cold-forming process (without requiring heat energy), it drastically cuts down on the factory's overall thermal and electrical load.
Riess Kelomat also actively pursue Circular Manufacturing & Waste Reduction — sheet metal cutting and stamping are optimised to yield minimal waste. Any leftover metal scrap from production is immediately reintroduced right back into the raw material cycle, keeping the supply footprint low. The company have regularly completed the rigorous three-stage certification process conducted by Green Brands, an international, independent organisation whose seal is a protected EU certification mark recognising brands that meet high standards of environmental sustainability.
Riess enamelware is made from natural raw materials such as iron, quartz, and clay, which is then fused together at 850°C. 

Today, Julian Riess, Friedrich Riess and Susanne Riess — the ninth generation of the family — are at the forefront of this Austrian manufactory that is widely considered to be one of the world's absolute benchmarks for sustainable enamelware production.

Further Information

Cooking with Enamelware

Enamelware can be used in the oven and can also be placed on a hob, including flame and induction hobs, up to 270C. It should not be heated up when empty. Because enamelware has a steel core, it is not suitable for use in microwaves.

Enamel Care

Enamelware can be easily cleaned. Ahead of using your enamelware in the oven, we recommend brushing a thin layer of oil on the pans. If you find burn marks on your dish after cooking, simply soak in warm soapy water for a short period of time before washing. For tougher stains, soak bicarbonate of soda or lemon juice on the stain for half an hour and then wash as normal. You can clean enamel in the dishwasher, but the surface may dull slightly. Enamelware can chip — it is essentially a glass glaze (similar to that on glazed ceramics) over a steel base, resulting in a strong, lightweight and non-porous finish. Like ceramics, enamel should be used carefully — it’s best to avoid knocking it or dropping it, which may cause chips in the glaze. This doesn’t prevent it from being useable, but the steel base can rust if exposed as a result.
