    temuka pottery question

    hey guys -
    I've got some really nice pottery from NZ called Temuka.

    But was wondering if it's safe to use in the oven for doing some dauphinoise taters.

    the dish itself is called an oval baker, so I'm working on the assumption it's good to use in the oven - or is it not worth risking it?

    hazarding a guess on someone else's prized pottery....I'd say.....


    NO



    but if its called a BAKER you'd hope it would be ok in an oven.

    Just not a microwave or dishwasher.

    Blimey....some risk though

    tell me about it - well, it cost me $50 in NZ, but costs £80 to replace it over here. it says on the website that all their ovenware is dishwasher, microwave and oven safe -

    so it stands to reason it should be fine, but am thinking I might just be safer to buy a cheap oven dish just in case.

    This sounds like good oven-to-table ware and should be perfectly fine for doing your dauphinoise spuds. Usual caveats apply (i.e. don't cool rapidly after it's been in the oven etc) but there's no reason why it should be a problem.

    true - will do my usual thing to mis-timing dinner (awful oven runs too hot) means that everything should cool down safely. besides - we'll all be getting trolleyed and am cooking up my first bbq of the UK winter
