Question 1

Oven Use

Accepted Answer

Stoneware can tolerate both cold and hot temperatures but will break if subjected to them too quickly. Don't set a hot piece of stoneware on a hard or cold surface without placing a cloth underneath it for protection.  Never place your Fire Garden pottery on a hot burner.

Question 2

Microwave Use

Accepted Answer

Because the clay and firing temperature are compatible you can heat food and beverages in your pottery in the microwave. Don’t overheat though.

Question 3

Refrigeration

Accepted Answer

Before refrigerating food be sure to let the piece cool slowly. In addition, don't heat a stoneware piece directly from the refrigerator or freezer.

Question 4

Washing

Accepted Answer

You can wash your pottery in the dishwasher or by hand. To keep your pottery like new wash it by hand and avoid scratching with hard bristled brushes or sharp objects. Wait until the item is fully cooled or thawed before placing it in water of a suitable temperature.

Question 5

Storing

Accepted Answer

If you stack your pottery you may wish to place something protective between each piece. Shelf liner, the rubber mesh kind, is inexpensive and can be cut to size; larger than the foot of the piece you are stacking. If rims touch, the liner piece should be larger.
