ホーロー

ほーろー

noun

enamel; enamelware

cooking tool

1. enamel; enamelware

A glassy coating fused onto metal, and the pots, kettles and tubs made that way. Also written 琺瑯(ほうろう).

ホーローの鍋(なべ)だ。

It's an enamel pot.

ホーローのやかんでお湯(ゆ)を沸(わ)かす。

I boil water in an enamel kettle.

ホーローの容器(ようき)はにおいが移(うつ)りにくいので、漬物(つけもの)の保存(ほぞん)に向(む)いている。

Enamel containers don't absorb smells easily, so they're good for storing pickles.

The katakana spelling is the usual one on product labels; the kanji 琺瑯(ほうろう) is rare. Valued in the kitchen because it does not rust or hold smells, though it chips if dropped.
