Ceramic pots
A ceramic pot will not be used on a stove top. They are
most commonly seen as bake ware or within a slow cooker. Ceramic can
handle high amounts of heat but will scorch if it is placed in direct
contact with a heating element.
When used as bake ware ceramic is a good choice for casseroles. Ceramic
heats slowly but will keep an item warm for a long period. Ceramic is
usually easier to clean than traditional aluminum. Ceramic does not
work very well for baking bread products.
Slow cookers usually come with a ceramic or aluminum insert. Ceramic
will last longer and is easier to clean. This is especially important
because slow cookers tend to have a bigger baked on mess than pots and
pans. Soaking the insert in warm soapy water for a couple of hours will
help break up the stuck-on food.
