Stove enamel is the stuff they use to enamel stoves - so it's the
shiny sort you get on the insides of ovens, the outside of cookers,
the outsides of Agas, on old fashioned enamelled cookware. It's quite
thick and comes in lots of colours.

If what you have is a very light thin coating, it's probably just
paint and while heat proof will not be dishwasher proof.

Good point. From the OP's description, it is hard to know the type or
quality of the cookware. (The brand is not familiar to me.) Good quality
enameled cookware can go into the dishwasher. However there is a lot of
low quality stuff that might rust or chip if you do that. No matter what,
the OP should be careful about abrasives that might scratch the enamel.
Perhaps a chemical approach might be best. Oven cleaner should do the
trick and be safe on enamel. The method would be to apply the oven
cleaner, put the cookware in a big plastic bag, and let the cleaner work
over night. In the AM wash it off and all should be well.
