Stoneware is made from natural clay that is fired at high temperatures, making it more durable and able to withstand high heat. This results in even baking and browning of your food, compared to other materials like glass or metal.
The size of your stoneware bowl will depend on the type of dish you are making. As a general rule, a 9x13 inch stoneware dish will serve 6-8 people, while an 8x8 inch dish will serve 4-6 people. Consider the size of your family or the number of guests you will be serving when choosing the right size.
Yes, stoneware bowls are safe to use in the microwave and dishwasher. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use and care.
To clean your stoneware bowl, simply use hot water and a gentle scrub brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges that can damage the stoneware. For tough stains, soak the bowl in hot water before scrubbing. To maintain your stoneware, make sure to avoid extreme temperature changes and never place a hot stoneware bowl on a cold surface.
To ensure even baking, always preheat your stoneware bowl in the oven before adding your food. You can also lightly grease the bowl with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. When removing your dish from the oven, use oven mitts or a trivet to protect yourself and your countertops from the hot stoneware.
