Anybody who enough class to be using handmade pottery dishes shouldn't be
microwave cooking. So there. What are the doing -heating up their Chef Boyardee
Ravioli. Sheesh

ah - yah, actually....I do heat up my chef-b-r-d in my handmade ^6 bowls
(clay and glaze formulated by RR). Years later, they look brand new upon
emerging from my DISHWASHER (whew, there, I said it - I use a microwave oven
AND a dishwasher).

I resemble that remark and you are stereo typing folks. I have a 22 year
old son who collects pottery. He has EVEN spent HIS OWN money on pottery.
He also cooks almost entirely via microwave, and yes, much of it is Chef
Boyardee. His problem is that he is 22 and a guy. He is also a "clay boy"
at a local studio where he mixes and pugs clay and does odd jobs. This job
was due to his love of pottery not the other way around.

Microwaves and dishwashers. I don't use either. Studies have shown that
microwaves disrupt the white blood cell count and I have enough problem
with the idea of leaching glazes to have to worry about one more chemical
like the residue left over from a dishwasher soap. Even if you can't see
it. Besides we can't afford one.

Well, yes, I have to say that I microwave and I dishwash, not only all the
pots I make (2nds only make it to my kitchen - and they survive very well)
but most of the pots that I buy. Never a problem yet.
Many people buy pots here because they are OK to dishwash and microwave and
would think twice about it if that were not the case. In fact I find that
people have far more casualties wahsing up by hand and either hitting stuff
on the taps, dropping them on hard floors etc, than ever they do from
dishwashing.
I had a friend who never had a lovely hand made mug that her husband didn't
break - loads of pencil holders (mugs without handles) until they got the
dishwasher. And no, they weren't mugs I'd made (he wasn't allowed to touch
them) so no, it isn't a weakness with my handles - he was just cack-handed.
And (tongue in cheek) what has class to do with it? I not only have the
class to make and use hand made pots exclusively - I also have the
tremendous class to cook exclusively (except for the microwave on re-heat)
by solid fuel Aga, which also is great for drying pots!

Are there actual credible studies that prove microwaves and
dishwasher soap are unsafe. I have never read any.
And even if it is true, are they more unsafe than gasoline fumes,
burned motor oil fumes, or burned heating oil fumes?
Are they more unsafe than the arsenic that is in the treated wood of
the deck on your home or the treated wood the playground items our
children play on are made from?
Or the thousands of carcinogens that are used in the manufacture of
the building products that are used in the construction of your
home?
The truth is you can no longer walk outside in an urban area without
endangering your health. Think of it, you can't even stay inside
your home without endangering your health.
Is there a time when common sense caution becomes a psychosis?
Use reasonable care when making your pottery. Don't use things that
are known to cause problems. And don't obsess about the health
concerns, or put the pottery away and do something else.
My 2 cents.
