Hello, Thank you for your interest on our products. We have many types of these materials... If your materials required less then 1000 C then it is fully suitable to work with. You can find required firing temperature on each material in user instructions. Hope this information will be useful to you.With Regards. Technicalsupermarket

Yes you can but I am not sure how effective it will be. The cookware sites about 5 1/2" from the base of the fire. I am thinking that there would be substantial heat loss by the time it reach the top of the unit.

I have used this pot on electrical stove and gas stove. I don't think it is problem on ceramic stove as long as you use it on low heat. You should use it as a slow cooker.

I don't know but it has such a slow heating process that it should work. I had to turn the flame up pretty high to get it to slowly heat a cast iron pot and an anodized pan so it should work with glass if you control the heat. It does discolor but I expected that. I originally bought it for ceramic cookware because it was recommended so Pyrex type glass shouldn't be a problem. I haven't had the chance to try it for the ceramic yet. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't suggest it. These are regular stone and sand grinding wheels. For ceramic you are going to need something with diamond wheels.

I would assume so-I'm not quite sure what size the ceramic burner is as I don't believe i've seen one. These burn well( evenly and smell quite fragrant) You will definitely be happy with them...

Yes it does work on ceramics. I had to glue a pot back together recently and it worked a treat.

You could, but the stones may emit harmful stuff that may get into your ceramic crockpot . The stone warmer is not ceramic, it's like aluminum/metal so it heats up fast -u can add salt and oil in it without damaging the metal - better to get the warmer itself than the crockpot.

This sort of clay body should be fired to cone 06 (bisque) before glazing or painting. When you say oven I suspect you do not mean kiln. Conventional ovens will not get to adequate temperatures to fire this clay. If you simply want to dry it and accept that it will remain forever incredibly fragile and water soluble then I would just slowly air dry it. Rapid drying in the oven or in the sun will dry it unevenly and cause cracks. Let it dry with a sheet of plastic loosely over it. A better solution would be to put it in a kiln and fire it up to 06 or 04 (1830-1940 degrees F). Then seal before painting. Good luck!

Do not know if you can or not, but I use mine on my ceramic glass top stove with no problem

Yes I think so. My stove is ceramic but with gas top grills. The cookware is probably better suited for flat ceramic type heating systems because it works based on conduction heat but works with all types of stove tops. It is a heavy type of cookware. The bottoms are smooth other than the brand name imprint into the steel bottoms.

I think I read somewhere that you can use it on a ceramic cooktop with some reservations I would contact the company.

Yes, it will work for ceramic flower pots. Use a lot of water to keep the bit cool. Also, do not use alot of pressure when drilling a hole, this will chip or even break the pot.

I would not recommend this! Most ceramic knives are zirconium dioxide, which is a very hard material. Unfortunately the product does not specify what carbide the course blade is, but the cheapest carbides fall above zirconium dioxide in hardness, so I'm guessing the coarse side would work for you. But the fine side with the ceramic inserts is almost assuredly zirconium dioxide as well, so you will be scratching both the knife and the sharpener, making the sharpener nearly useless pretty quickly on the one side. That said, as long as you stay with the course side and are careful, you could still make a ceramic knife sharper. I would not recommend this!

There is a ring around the bottom, and I just tested to see if it left a warm spot in the middle, and it really doesn't. The bottom is designed not to be flush with the ring. Don't think it will be great for ceramic.....

Kim, not with this tool. It should be able to accomplish drilling in glass substances or ceramic tile but be cautious: drill bit will be very small in size, should be diamond or carbide tipped and rotating speed should be very.....low to avoid high friction temperatures. Before drilling into intended object, try it out on a scrap piece and get sufficient experience with tool and drill bit specification. Good luck! Hasito 3/30/2014
