I finally got a chance to use some casseroles I made for cooking this
week. There were both glazed, ? 10 fired, Sheffield stoneware
claybodies. They are both realtively thick walled pieces.
I was told when they were fired (wood and salt kiln) to be careful to
actually use them for baking as even though they were fired to ? 10, at
lower temps the thermal expansion rates could cause them to crack.
While cooking with them this past week I used them in a 400? oven. I
distinctly heard some loud "Tinks" from both pieces but neither seems to
have cracked, neither the body nor the glaze. I did allow them to cool
slowly.
Any advice on to what's happening here?
Thanks, Rob
