Can I really use it?
Yes!
Please use and enjoy your Pine Springs Pottery every day. Stoneware is fired to a very high temperature, making it durable, food-safe and stable, even for baking. My pottery is:
· lead-free
· microwave safe
· dishwasher safe
· oven proof
· It may also be refrigerated if brought to room temperature prior to heating. I advise placing in a cold oven and heating slowly.
· Do not use stoneware on a direct heat source such as a stove top burner.
I recommend pre-warming large serving pieces with warm tap water or pre-cooling by placing in the frig. This will maintain the temperature of your food for a much longer time and will protect the pottery from thermal shock.
