What is stoneware and is it worth having in the kitchen?

Before answering whether it is worth investing in stoneware, let us explain what it actually is. This will definitely give you a better understanding of its valuable properties. Stoneware is a type of glazed ceramic, made from clay. Chamotte and quartz sand are also added to the mix, and the whole thing is fired at very high temperatures of up to 1,300 degrees Celsius. Natural minerals, such as salt, are responsible for the vitreous coating, which is applied to the ware before it is put into the kiln. The most popular colours for stoneware are undoubtedly shades of brown and grey.
