Can Stoneware Be Used for Steaming Rice Balls in a Pan of Boiling Water?

[susanr613]

I met with some Jain Hindu ladies last night to discuss a possible fundraiser. They asked me if our stoneware can be placed in a pan of boiling water, to steam rice balls (placed in the stoneware).

I have a call in to the Solution Center, but figured I'd also post here.

TIA -

I would say no. It is not recommended to put pans in or no our stones.

What about the new steamer? That works great for the wontons...

I'm not understanding how the stone would fit into the pot to work as a steamer?

the way she explained it it's like putting a clay pot in a roasting pan.

Oh - I make Flan like that! I use the deep dish baker inside the roasting pan, and then there is water in the roaster. It works great. I've done this several times. (we LOVE flan!)

I don't know if that answers your question, but that's how I've used it!
