Stoneware is a natural material that is highly durable and retains heat well, making it perfect for cooking. It also distributes heat evenly, resulting in more consistent cooking and browning. Additionally, stoneware is non-toxic and does not contain harmful chemicals found in some other cookware materials.
Yes, stoneware can be used in the microwave. It is safe to use for reheating, defrosting, and cooking food in the microwave. However, it is not recommended to use stoneware in the broiler or on the stovetop.
To maintain the quality and longevity of your stoneware, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Before first use, season your stoneware by rinsing it with hot water and drying it thoroughly. Avoid using soap or harsh scrubbers, as they can damage the seasoning. After each use, allow the stoneware to cool before washing with warm water and a gentle sponge. Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as placing hot stoneware in cold water, as this can cause cracking.
Stoneware is suitable for a wide range of foods, but there are a few exceptions. Foods that are very acidic, such as citrus fruits, may react with the stoneware glaze and leave a metallic taste. It is also not recommended to cook foods with a high sugar content, such as caramel or candy, as they can cause the stoneware to crack.
Yes, stoneware can be used on the grill. It is important to avoid placing the stoneware directly over the flames, as this can cause the stoneware to crack. Instead, place the stoneware on a metal baking sheet or use it to cook indirect heat items on the grill.
