I haven't personally made this specific item, but I have used stoneware in the past and it definitely does a great job of retaining heat. My suggestion would be to make sure you preheat the stoneware before using it, as this will help with heat retention. Also, make sure you use oven mitts or a kitchen towel when handling the stoneware, as it can get very hot. As for taking it to a show, that sounds like a great idea! Just make sure to mention the benefits of using stoneware for heat retention and maybe even do a demonstration to show its effectiveness. Good luck!
