 Use and Care

To avoid cracking don't place hand made ceramics of any kind in a "Very hot pre-heated" oven. Always place pots in a cold oven and pre-heat.

Avoid banging the pot against a hard surface or anything that will cause an invisible hairline crack to begin and later develop.

For artisan breads, preheat pot and oven to 450, Remove with oven gloves and place on a warm surface or pad, not in the sink or on a cold surface as this could crack the pot.

As quickly as possible, remove cover and place the bread dough in the hot pot, slice the top with a sharp knife, replace cover and bake according to your recipe. This is usually about 30 to 35 minutes covered and then 10 to 15 minutes uncovered.

see the links on the left for information and recipes.

Some of our bread pots are unglazed on the cooking surface mimicking the surface of a brick oven and some are glazed on the inside making them useful not only for baking bread but for other casseroles and serving. 

All of the cheese and butter bells are glazed on the inside plate surface.

Cleaning: Avoid soaking the pots in water. These vessels are handmade, unique, high fired and very durable. They can be cleaned and are dishwasher safe, but I would hand wash. After repeated uses the unglazed portions of your pot will develop a patina. With the proper care and use your bread pots will last for many years. I have been using the same bread pot almost every week for 3 years - no problems, but, like all ceramic ware, it is susceptible to cracking and breaking if dropped or improperly handled. DO NOT place in a pre-heated oven or on stove burners..
