[Sca-cooks] pottery braziers, cooking in pottery

[Nancy Kiel]

I worked in the historic kitchens at Colonial Williamsburg for four years and never did anything to "warm up" the ceramic cookware, and nothing cracked from the heat.
 
Is there a reason you're not using a metal brazier?

> Are you really meaning chaffing dish or brazier? In general, cooking in pots over open fires one needs to understand about thermal shock and making sure the pottery is warmed up. Also, depending on how something is stored, a pot-ceramic ware can get damaged without one knowing it and when it's being used the fault will appear.
