everyday use. Each piece is Lead Free, Oven, Dishwasher and Microwave
Safe. Using quality high-fire clay that is part porcelain, and our own
hand-mixed glazes, Cascadia Stoneware is extremely durable, impervious to
liquids, and resistant to chipping. Following these basic guidelines
will ensure many years of use with your stoneware pottery.
1. Avoid Thermal Shock:
Sudden changes in temperature and uneven heat can cause cracking.
a. Room
temperature dishes can be placed directly in a 350 degree oven.
Gradually bring up to temperature when baking over 350, and avoid
temperatures over 475. Broil with caution. Large platters
should be gradually heated to any temperature.
b. Do not
place pottery directly on stovetop or over open flame.
c. Do
not place a hot dish into cold water or directly into the refrigerator.
d.
Freezing temperatures will not damage the stoneware, however, freezing
liquids should be avoided because expansion may cause cracking.
2. Cleaning: Dishwasher
Safe
a. Safe for
hand washing with scotch pads, use brillo with care.
b.
Freshen stained clay bottoms with fine grained sandpaper, never use
sandpaper on glazed surface.
3. General Care: Stoneware
should be used gently on other hard surfaces such as granite counter tops
and porcelain sinks.
