Stoneware is a great option for cooking and baking because it provides even heat distribution, resulting in more evenly cooked food. It is also naturally non-stick, making it easier to clean and requires less oil or butter for cooking.
Yes, stoneware is safe to use in the microwave. However, always check the manufacturer's instructions before using stoneware in the microwave to ensure it is heat-safe and does not contain any metal pieces.
Before using stoneware for the first time, it is important to season it by lightly coating the surface with cooking oil and baking it in the oven at a low temperature. This helps to create a natural non-stick surface and enhance the stoneware's durability.
While stoneware is generally dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash it to ensure its longevity. The harsh detergents and high heat of the dishwasher can cause the stoneware to become brittle and prone to cracking.
To keep your stoneware in top condition, avoid drastic temperature changes, such as placing a hot stoneware dish directly in cold water, as this can cause it to crack. Also, avoid using metal utensils on the stoneware surface, as they can scratch and damage the coating. Properly seasoning and hand washing your stoneware will also help prolong its lifespan.
