Once grease as built up, turn the ceramic bricks over to burn / clean the grease off, also the ceramic are hotter by retaining more heat

My experience with Mr. Bar B Q ceramic briquettes is that they last longer and they tend to even the heat nicely while cooking. Additionally, I rarely have any flare-ups.

First- these are only for gas grills! ceramic briquets are permanant- they never burn up, they are just to prevent the gas flames from directly burning the food. Usually people remove the flame arrestors that come with the gas grill and use these instead

the ceramic ones are used in a gas bbq grill in between the "flavor trays" (those long slender metal trays that cover your flames). by putting these ceramic briquets in between the trays, you catch all the juices/fat running off whatever you're cooking and it is that fat that provides the smoke for the bbq meat you're cooking.

Berkey offers plugs which seal new models (with extra, pre-drilled holes), so perhaps call a Berkey supplier directly and order plugs. But why would you switch from ceramic filters? I understand they are more desirable.

I think it's a matter of personal preference. This is pretty heavy grade stainless, not flimsy at all and sides are high and straighten. I would guess the ceramic is pretty heavy as well, but it could chip with time and handling, plus either would be even that much heavier w/water.

Hi: I am really not an expert but I do have some basic knowledge through my own personal research over the years due to my own awareness of what materials I am cooking my food in. Stoneware is simply a clay type of material and completely safe. Ceramic has a different type of finish. Stoneware is more clay type base but both of those are great to cook in. There are no safety standards based on my research. Actually it is highly recommended.

Everybody is different. I always like the ceramic plates. To me it glides through the hair better, and leaves the hair with a nice shine. But, as I was saying everybody is different.

Actually, they feel more like ceramic. I also have cups that _are_ made from the same material as the plates - they're shorter, wider, with smaller handles. These are not the same. These do feel better in the hand, though.

You can,but for ceramic you dont need the high heat one, just the regular temperature version. This one is for exhausts etc..

I own two sets of the Babyliss in both the ceramic (full set of rollers) and the titanium rollers(travel roller set). Personally I do not see any difference.... I love both. Supposedly the titanium heats at a lower temp thus minimizing frizz and hair damage BUT I have never had an issues with the ceramic set. Both are fabulous.

The more expensive model has two different firmness levels. The side with smaller cubes is more firm than the side with larger cubes. I find it helpful to switch when driving very long days.

For me they fit they way I like, a bit loose. I bought this set after cooking dinner at a friends house in San Diego. To date, best all around ceramic set I've used. Really like the way their weighted and feel, as well as cooks. Not perfect but a good 8 out of 10 stars.

Not sure you received my earlier reply. I like the ceramic because it glides effortlessly and starch spray does not stick as much as it does with stainless soleplate. Just use a wet dish towel after using and run the iron over it and you will get years of service.

Burrs are ceramic not steel. I'm told ceramic burrs hold a better edge. So far that seems to be the case.

Ceramic is harder than steel. With a steel rod you don't really sharpen, you hone the edge of your blade and realign in. If you are not removing steel (no matter how little) you are not sharpening your knife. Ceramic rods will sharpen your knife. If your knife is well maintained, professionally sharpened once or twice a year dependong on how much you use it, then a few light passes on each side of a ceramic rod will have you sliding through tomatoes like butter. Be careful. Ceramic rods will break if you drop them.

Hi there, I think they are stoneware- heavier and a little more durable than ceramic, but some folks refer to them as ceramic. I hope my answer helps!

We use a ceramic knife sharpener. They do get dull but carry a pretty good edge. I would recommend these to you. My wife loves them.

The ceramic edges do.last longer; however, they eventually need to be sharpen. They tend to get micro chips on the edge that need to be honed.

Probably about the same as a regular razor blade. The advantage of the ceramic blade is that it doesn't wear out; in other respects it behaves almost exactly like steel.
