Welcome To Capp's Potts.
Description
Safe - All the pots are lead free. Other non-government-regulated but potentially hazardous materials, such as cobalt, manganese, copper, and uranium are kept to a minimum safe level or not used at all. Also, the clay is fired at such a high temperature that it vitrifies, or becomes glasslike. It is non-porous and won't absorb liquids to any appreciable degree so it's easy to clean.
Dishwasher Safe - Not only are they all dishwasher safe, it is recommended that they are washed in a dishwasher. While hand washing, pottery can easily be dropped by slippery hands or bashed against a hard sink and break. The glazes are durable and can easily withstand the rigors of a dishwasher. Shino glazes are the exception. These glazes are softer and will degrade slightly over continued dishwasher use.
Microwave Safe -Capp's potts are microwave safe. This means they will not be damaged by the microwave and the microwave will not be damaged by them. Material that absorbs and reflects back the radiation can be bad for a microwave over long term use, for example metal containers. Ceramics absorb very little and are therefore save to use. They can get hot in the microwave, however, but this will not damage them. Stoneware has good thermal shock properties. It may be risky to go from the freezer to boiling hot in a microwave and this is not recommended, however, normal use such as fridge to boiling hot is fine. The iron in the clay shows no appreciable effect regarding microwave use.
