Compared with ordinary porcelain tableware, bone china tableware is lighter and thinner and feels more brittle. Can bone china tableware be heated in a microwave oven?
The principle of microwave heating is to vibrate the water molecules in the food for heating. Metal products are not suitable for heating in the microwave. Therefore, for bone china tableware inlaid with metal materials, it is not recommended to put it in the microwave for heating. As for bone china tableware without metal inlays?
Tableware without inlaid metal bone china can be heated in a microwave oven. Bone china, originated from the United Kingdom, is made of animal bone meal added to the clay raw materials. The higher the content of animal bone meal, the worse its plasticity, that is, it cannot be drawn by hand. It is necessary to use a plaster mold to make the body, trim and polish the body, and then 1220 degrees Celsius. It is biscuit firing, then glaze firing, and then firing on the decal paper for the third time, so it has a high degree of regularity and high temperature resistance, but it cannot be fired directly on an open flame.
As for the glaze, the firing temperature of bone china glaze is lower, and there is no need to use lead-containing glaze to lower the temperature, so lead-free glaze is used. Because bone china tableware is over-glazed, the material of the paint is very important. The pigments used by DUNOON are those extracted from natural plants, so there is no need to worry about the precipitation of harmful substances during use.
Bone china tableware still needs to be purchased in a formal way. The high-quality bone china has a creamy white color that is not glaring, and is transparent as a whole. It will not change the color of the light passing through. The porcelain is delicate and lightweight. Because the content of bone charcoal is high, it is in the firing process. The scrap rate is high, so the price is relatively expensive. You can use pure white bone china if you don’t worry about patterns. Use bone china instead of sudden cold and sudden heat.
