Question:

Is my used pottery dish safe for the oven?

I have gotten a used dish and it has no markings on the bottomHow can I tell if it is safe for baking? It is shiny everywhere but the bottomIt is quite large, is round and looks like it would be a baking dishHow do I know?

Answer:

Hard to tell from the description but here are some suggestions Some pottery can withstand more shock than others Reduce thermal shock by starting in a cold oven away from the elements When removing the hot dishplace on a folded towel EDIT - I know a number of people that make ceramic casseroles intended to go in the oven say to start in a cold ovenThe cooking time needs to be increased A reasonable increase is 5 to 10 minutesDepending on what you are doing like a slow roasted dish or a oven baked stew this would work well A lot of glazes for food should also be safe for baking as long as it is around 400 degrees Farenheit I have mixed glazes and bought mixed glazes - most are deliberately food safe I was told by several people to start in a cold ovenThere are special clay that can withstand more stress but when in doubt be carefulOne of the people makes and bakes in her piecesShe has some problems with thermal shock herselfThis is the best advise I can giveThe piece could still break even taking thes precautionsCeramic is similar to glass if it gets a sudden temperature change it can crack or shatter
Don t take rest more than 30 seconds between exercises
guzzle water before your meal
You've left it a bit too late sorryBut just work out heaps and only eat low fat foods that'd probably help a little bit.
I'm not too sure about a diet but with actual exercise: - do cardio, and actually push yourself, hard, not like you're just going for a stroll in the park - if you do a weights circuit, make it high intensity, egdon't break between your sets ietricep set, bicep set, tricep set, bicep set, etc.alternate exercise (different areas) instead of breaking
