Re: Tea Party (everyones invited)

how long do your tea parties normally last?

BTW your cup shouldn't get hot in a microwave if it's made of the right stuff

the cup will get hot because the liquid inside it is getting hot.

Re: Tea Party (everyones invited)

No there's some ceramic cups that get hot in the microwave and some ceramics that don't

Microwaves and Ceramics

First of all, no metals should be used in microwaves. This will cause 'arcing', i.e. a spark jumps from the microwave to the metal, possibly damaging the unit. This means that ceramics with metal lustres or onglazes such as gold, silver and copper, should not be microwaved.

Secondly, microwaves heat food by agitating water molecules, which then get hot. If a ceramic dish or cup is low fired, it may soak up some moisture into the clay body. If this moisture gets heated enough, it will turn to steam and expand, possibly causing an explosion. Not only would the ceramic item be lost, but the microwave might sustain considerable damage. Because of this, I would recommend to only microwave porcelain and stoneware, or earthenware that is vitrified enough not to soak up moisture. If in doubt, hold the piece on the palm of your hand. Carefully knock it with a knuckle (make sure you don't knock it to the ground!). If there is a clean ring, the piece should be dry, whatever it is and probably safe to microwave. If it sounds dull, it probably has some moisture in the body -- it would be better not to risk it. (If it sounds really dull, with a short 'buzzing' sound to it, there probably is a crack somewhere.) ...

Linda Arbuckle kindly submitted the following comments:

"In response to the article about microwaving…. I’ve had some stoneware cups heat up enough in the microwave to make the handle uncomfortable to hold. I find wood/salt/soda pieces are often not vitrified and have this issue, but it’s also happened with reduction-fired wares. I have heated fake bacon strips on a porcelain plate and had it crack in 2 (too much localized heat for a dense body), while earthenware baking dishes have been no problem. I do microwave Stan Andersen’s majolica plates regularly with no problems. I don’t think it’s accurate to advocate no microwaving for earthenware as a group while recommending stoneware and porcelain carte blanche. It just isn’t so. Depends on the clay body, firing, and glaze.

I daily microwave my majolica-glaze earthenware cups to make tea (they do have terra sig on the foot), and they do not explode or heat up in any uncommon way. They haven’t even crazed.

I think there’s a lot of “iffy” advice out there about earthenware. The advice on DO microwave stoneware and porcelain and DON’T microwave earthenware is like everything else in ceramics: it all depends.

So many of the pottery “sources” knock earthenware w/o really having solid facts. When I was a student, many of the high-fire gurus indicated there was nothing worth doing in earthenware, and even then, leaded was the only way. "

Not sure it's made of STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam?
Please just say "Plastic Foam."

The Dow Chemical Company is committed to protecting the STYROFOAM™ trademark and will proactively guard against counterfeits and trademark abuses.
When writing about STYROFOAM™ Brand products, please follow these guidelines:

1. DO NOT USE THE TRADEMARK TO DESCRIBE EPS PRODUCTS.

Please do not use the STYROFOAM™ name to describe disposable packaging and containers - like coffee cups and coolers. These products are made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.

2. DO NOT USE THE TRADEMARK AS A CATEGORY NAME.

Not all plastic foam products are made of STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam, so please check first. Misusing our trademark is a disservice to those who value the performance of STYROFOAM™ Brand over generic extruded polystyrene (XPS) materials and other plastic foams.
3. ALWAYS MARK THE TRADEMARK STYROFOAM™ WITH A TM OR "CIRCLE R" SYMBOL.

Any time the trademark is used, a superscript trademark symbol should follow the trademark. A TM or "circle R" may be used.

4. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MARK WITH THE WORD "BRAND."

5. ALWAYS USE A CORRECT GENERIC TERM FOLLOWING THE MARK.

When the word "STYROFOAM™" appears in copy, it should be in uppercase letters and followed by the word "Brand" and then "Foam," "Insulation," Products or other appropriate generic.

6. FOOTNOTE DOW'S OWNERSHIP.

The preferred usage for the STYROFOAM™ Brand is to follow every use with a superscript trademark (TM) symbol; however, a "circle R" symbol may also be used. The corresponding trademark footnote, if format permits, should read:

™Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company

7. DO NOT USE THE TRADEMARK AS A NOUN.

Incorrect usage: One-inch STYROFOAM™
Correct usage: One-inch STYROFOAM™ Brand Insulation

8. DO NOT ALTER THE TRADEMARK.

The trademark must be used only in the exact form in which it is registered. Do not use STYROFOAM™ in the plural, hyphenated or possessive form.

Incorrect usage: STYROFOAM's compressive strength and durability
Correct usage: the compressive strength and durability of STYROFOAM™ Brand Insulation

10. STORE SIGNAGE.

Distributors who satisfy certain requirements can request store signage to promote the STYROFOAM™ trademark. Contact us or your local Dow representative for more information.
