Tried it again, because it is such a fun color. Finish has a few bubbles in it. Hope it lasts. Oct 2011It appears perfect for washing those small amounts of fruits and veggies. However, after a few uses the enamel starts to chip off. Does not matter if you hand wash it or rinse with warm water....I have had two, babied them and they both chipped within a month or two. Buy something else, inferior finish.
