Is it safe to use a ceramic dish on the stove?
You may be asking yourself, is it okay to use any ceramic dish on the stovetop? The answer is usually no. Most ceramic dishware is not designed for use on the stovetop burner. Of course, there are some special kinds of pots such as flameware or ceramic cookware which can be used on the stove but these are not the norm. It is also important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when using any ceramic dish on the stove.
So, what can we conclude from this? Keep your crockpot on the counter where it belongs. This is a slow cooking pot and that is where it shines best. If you need to move your food to the stovetop, use a pot or pan that are meant for use on the stovetop. Trust me, your kitchen (and your sanity) will appreciate it.
This is coming from experience though, after my own mishap with the glass top stove I have become something of a kitchen safety enthusiast. I still enjoy experimenting with new recipes and using the many kitchen tools I have, but I do so with more care. And each time I hear of someone else’s kitchen disaster, I’m always reminded that we are only a moment away from the next big kitchen oops. So let’s be safe out there and keep the crockpots off the stovetops!
