Sorry for any inconvience that I have caused in reading my messages, and

Original Post:
I have a pizza stone. I did not make it, but bought it when I wasn't making
any ceramics. I would make homemade pizza and bread to fill my need to knead
clay. Anyway, the instructions for the stone said " DO NOT PLACE IN HOT
OVEN. Stone could break from thermal shock." So, I don't. I make the crust,
put it on the stone into a cold oven and heat from there. I haven't had any
problems with the stone nor the crust by doing it this way. I think that
objects like this need to have the instructions incised on the back of the
products incase the purchaser were to give it away without giving the
instructions. Have any of you looked at the Pampered Chef catalogs? They
have bread pans, pie pans, garlic roasters, chicken cookers, etc made out of
clay. The clay is red, and it looks to me to be terra cotta. I also worked
at a restaurant, many years ago, that would bake bread in terra cotta flower
pots. They would be filled with dough , placed into cool/cold oven and bake
from there. The bread didn't taste any different. Just a different serving
dish. That was the novelty.
Anyway, Just thought I would let you know about the cold/cool oven thing.

Where it is already Hot, humid, and the air conditioner is on. I hate that.
I usually wait until the end of May to turn that thing on....It has been
too humid here as well as hot. What happened to Spring? Summer is here
already!

" The ones made of stoneware clay without extra grog BROKE ...couldn't take
the thermal shock of going into a hot oven. "
