Can I leave food in my cookware overnight in the refrigerator?
Absolutely! In fact, some of the traditional dishes are cooked a day before and when the food sits overnight while slowly cooling (in or outside the refrigerator), the flavor develop further and the meal is even more delicious the next day. However, do not put it right away from the refrigerator to the hot oven, thermal shocks can crack your pottery.
Will the painted decoration be in contact with my food?
No, that is why the cookware are enameled but in the event it chipped away, the paints our master potters use are food grade and not harmful. However, we do not recommend using the cookware if you badly damaged the enamel as they will deteriorate even more but they make a nice decoration or storage pottery in your kitchen. This said, we have never seen a case where the enamel was damaged as most people take great care of their beautiful cookware and do not use sharp objects to handle food as we recommend. My mom is using clay cookware that belonged to her grand-mother and they are still in perfect condition.
