- 1). Wash new glazed ceramic cookware with a soft, nonabrasive plastic scrubber in liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly with warm water to make sure no residue is left on the cookware from the kiln or factory.
- 2). Put a heat diffuser on the eye before placing the glazed ceramic cookware on the stove. The diffuser is a heavy metal plate that spreads the heat across the pan evenly and keeps your glazed ceramic cookware from cracking.
- 3). Make pasta by filling the pot two-thirds full with water. Heat the water on high. When the water boils, add your favorite pasta and cook until tender. Remove cookware from heat and pour the pasta into a strainer. If you don't strain the pasta immediately, the hot cookware will continue cooking the food.
- 4). Create a delicious cake by greasing and flouring a 4-qt. glazed ceramic pot. Mix up half of a basic cake recipe, add 1/8 cup of extra liquid and pour into the pot. Cover the pot with the lid and cook on medium-low for 25 to 35 minutes. Poke a toothpick into the cake, and if the toothpick comes back clean, the cake is done. Remove the pot from the heat, let cool for 10 minutes with the lid off, then remove the cake from the pot.
- 5). Make stews. When cooking stews with meat and vegetables, cook meat first with stock or broth until the meat reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then add vegetables. Cook the vegetables until tender and serve.
