Clay cooking for a potter – thermal shock?
I saw a lot of articles about cooking in clay pots
My hobby is pottery so I wanted to make a few pieces to use myself.
I made a tagine and had it fired to cone 10 using the regular class clay that has a lot of recycled clay in the studio
Using a very low fame the pot popped into 4 big pieces and a few small fragments within 30 seconds
Next time I am thinking about using a heat diffuser and maybe a piece that was only low fired to cone 05
Requesting advice to try simple clay pot cooking for a potter.
