Earthenware is usually made from - surprise! - earth. Clay and assorted other minerals and ingredients are combined, shaped and fired to give the finished product the look, feel and function sought by the manufacturer. These items can be considered ceramics. They stand up extremely well to heat. They were born in fire. Not as dramatically as, say, a cast iron skillet, but they know a lot of heat. These pieces laugh at oven temperatures. The catch is that some are a bit porous, and in use can get things cooked into them. Some stain, but does not affect their function. As long as the cooking surfaces are clean and just used for food, the pieces are usable. Conventional ovens cannot get hot enough to make these pieces break a sweat. Just be sure to follow directions in the care (cleaning) and use. They can be chipped or cracked, and some can be thermally shocked (and cracked) by rapid cooling.

What would happen if an igneous rock was introduced to heat and pressure?
It can be either baked and squished into a metamorphic rock, or, if the heat is high enough, it can be melted (and eventually recrystallized) into a new igneous rock.
Water is a good coolant because of its hig heat of?
Water has a high heat capacity, so it can absorbs a lot of heat in comparison to other molecules of the same amount or volume.
How does heat capacity makes water a good heat sink?
If a body of water has a high heat capacity, it can store more thermal energy making it a good heat sink.
Does a high specific heat allow water to heat slowly cool slowly or both?
the right answer is heat slowely
What two ways is energy involved in a chemical reaction?
When a chemical change occurs, there are two types of ways heat can be involved. In an endothermic reaction, more heat enters the reaction than leaves. In an exothermic reaction, more heat leaves the reaction than enters.
Can earthenware dishes be put on the hob?
no..it cant be used in any type of oven.....wen a fired earth plate is used in the oven....it will allow the oven to spoil easily or that moment because it will be so high for eachother to work together
What has to happen for metamorphism occur?
Heat and high pressure
Why do Earthenware dishes crack?
Because they are fire-baked at very high temperatures to make them usable at high temperatures in your kitchen. This makes them very hard, and because of that, brittle. They can stand up to a lot of wear and tear, but a hard knock from a harder substance (like a hammer or tile floor) will still crack them.
Why does heat flow happen?
1- its diffusion 2- its convection it moves from a high concentration to a low concentration place
The ocean has a high specific heat what would happen if the ocean had a low specific heat?
If the ocean had a low specific heat it wouldn't be able to support life. This is because the water would be too cold.
What would happen if an igneous rock was introduced to heat and pressure?
It can be either baked and squished into a metamorphic rock, or, if the heat is high enough, it can be melted (and eventually recrystallized) into a new igneous rock.
What is a high heat baseball pitch?
In baseball, 'heat' is slang for fastball, so 'high heat' is a high fastball.
Are Corelle dishes high quality dishes?
The Corelle dishes brand is very good. I heard of them recently as being on of the top 5 in the nation. They do not compromise their quality for any reason at all.
Why are serving spoons conductors?
Serving spoons are conductors because they are made of metal and any metal is a conductor
What is the equipment used to wash dishes and glasses at high temperature?
dishwashing machine
