Porcelain dinnerware


Why is Porcelain objects unique?
It becomes glass-like during a correctly fired procedure. The clay and glaze fuse to become one clay-glaze layer. Therefore porcelain is stronger than most other pottery.
A simple way to know if porcelain is well-fired is to tap on the side. If it makes a lyrical ringing sound, chances are good that it is vitrified.

When is it not porcelain? 
The general public often refers incorrectly to a white hand-painted clay objects as porcelain. It is normally thicker than porcelain, makes a dull sound when tapped on and chips easily. On the interior, there are often hollow spaces that indicates that it is slip cast. 
Why is porcelain dinnerware preferred in the kitchen?
Porcelain is more durable than the average pottery. 

Can I use porcelain in a dishwasher and microwave oven?
Porcelain is microwave friendly. Heat will transfer throughout the food, without heating the porcelain handles. Unless overcooked, food that contains enough moisture, will not stick to the bottom.
Porcelain is durable in the dishwasher. It is resistant to abrasive and acidic materials. DO NOT PUT PORCELAIN WITH ANY METALIC TRIM IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN

How to store porcelain in the kitchen?
Porcelain can handle normal wear and tear in the kitchen, but will just like any other pottery or glass, it will break when knocked or bumped hard. A direct hit on a rim will cause a chip, similar to any other kitchenware.

Can I use porcelain in the oven, on the stove or in the refrigerator?
Porcelain should not be heated up on the stove top.
It can be used in the oven but should be treated like glass ware. Do not expose it to sudden temperature changes.
Do not put ice cold foods directly on a hot porcelain plate or bowl.
