Pfaltzgraff Stoneware - A Brief Overview

The Pfaltzgraff company is operating for almost 200 years and is one of the most well known companies today

. The company has a long history originating from the Pfaltzgraff family that created the company. The family was a potter family and as their business flourished they decided to open a factory and a store and today Pfaltzgraff is one of the leading companies and its products can be found in any store in the world.

Pfaltzgraff family were potters, but as one can see, they were also very creative. The company produced many different patterns and designs and followed many trends.

Pfaltzgraff stoneware has been developed in this aspect. They are made of natural clay that has a natural light color most commonly white. This enables painting and further procedures in order to create the wonderful Pfaltzgraff stoneware patterns. The procedures are rather complicated. The ceramic items originate from the clay that is shaped and put in the oven. It then dried in a high temperature to become stable and solid. This is the main difference these items have from porcelain. They are heavier and last longer.

There are many people that choose them as they can last longer than porcelain and they are environmental friendly that is something people look for in the dinnerware. Their other advantage is the fact that the clay can be painted and further finished in many designs. So the item has a beautiful pattern and a shiny or matt finish according to the line.

Pfaltzgraff stoneware is very easy to use. Any item you get can be used in the microwave and in the conventional oven. You can use them regularly as you would with any kitchenware. The items can also be washed in the dishwasher in the normal program you use and they can be used to store food in the freezer. However, there are some things you can do to ensure the life of the items and their durability.

One thing you can do is to gradually increase the temperature when you cook. If you want to put them in the oven you can start from 225 degrees and after ten minutes, you can increase to the desired temperature. The same thing applies to the microwave oven. Make sure the item is not suddenly exposed to the heat. This will ensure that the item doesn't break. Another thing you can do is not to handle a hot piece with a wet surface. For example you shouldn't wash a hot baker. Washing or handling hot items with wet mitts might cause them to break.

Your Pfaltzgraff stoneware will maintain its quality if you don't place it in direct heat and if you use a mitt to remove it from the oven. You should also make sure that you use a small piece to heat or bake small portions of food and larger items for many portions. This will ensure that no hot spots will appear.
