Stoneware — The Strong
If you’re looking for durability and strength, stoneware is the way to go. Don’t get clay jars, because unless you want a more inexpensive and affordable option, clay is the perfect opposite of stoneware. Stoneware is a type of ceramic that is non-porous, made of stoneware clay, baked at high temperatures ranging from 2,010 degrees Fahrenheit to 2,370 degrees Fahrenheit! Talk about heat! A glass material is added to it, so it has strength strength. It is thicker than opaque and fine material and does not absorb its contents. Also, it can be done with fine glaze textures such as shiny, matte or satin. Stoneware is commonly used for drinks, dishes and cookware because it can handle the temperature of the oven and is well tolerated by the heat. It can last for decades, even with everyday use.
Stoneware is also chip resistant and does well in the dishwasher or microwave but be careful because if there is a sudden change in temperature, the baby will crack!
Earthenware-Cheap
If you are worried about money issues or looking for everyday use the role of clay is for you. The clay vessel is also a kind of ceramic that is affordable and glazed and removed. It has a thick and heavy texture, but keep in mind that it is more affordable than other dinnerware, the quality is low, so it is not durable and is very prone to chipping. You will not want to keep it in water or any other liquids for too long as it will stain and absorb liquids. Did you see that the brown-orange-looking pots had children's artwork there, or could you say hand-painted? Well, my friend who is a clay character. Make sure you have something great for the dishwasher
Ceramic-elegant
Do you want to celebrate because you have good news? Porcelain is for you, depending on the type you want. Do you want to meet more fancy or for a reason? This option is best for you if you are going for a formal right as porcelain is more on the elegant formal side. Porcelain is made of fine particle clay with materials such as kaolin, quartz and feldspar, which makes this dinnerware durable and non-porous. Okay and oven safe for most porcelain microwave, otherwise always check the label. Most people need to wash their porcelain.
Melamine-to-the-rescue
Maybe you get upset sometimes and you throw up plates or you kids are rowdy and they are hitting the plates from the counters in the kitchen and playing a horse game can cause a scene and a big mess. Melamine is very good in these situations because they are made of lightweight plastic but it is very durable. It is inseparable for outdoors and rowdy children. However, it is not like other ceramics and should not be heated with food in it and it is not for microwave or oven.
Vitrified Glass — The Avinashi
This is ceramic glass and baked at a really high temperature so it is non-porous and very durable like stoneware. This glass does not break or chip if you slip up and fall on hard ground. So if you are clumsy, this option is great and is safe to use in dishwasher and microwave.
Stoneware Vs. Ceramic
Now that we have discussed the common types of ceramic, let’s look at the pros and cons of it and let it all go to help you make a decision. Stoneware is another old form of ceramic that comes after earthenware. The role of clay in all of them is very ancient. Stoneware is very durable and vitrified glass is also durable and is good for use in dishwasher and microwave, just like stoneware. Always remember to check the label so it is okay to use it in the dishwasher and microwave. Stoneware also added glass to it, making it waterproof and durable than earthenware.
