Cracked Dinner Set
« on: July 09, 2012, 11:31:37 pm »
One of our dinnersets is "crazy cracked" it has lots of  tiny looking cracks all over.

Is it safe to use or should I throw it out?

Scared that I put hot soup in the bowl it might break & burn the kids.

We are still using them & they are ok atm. I like the bowls for  soup & pasta, good size

I dont need another dinner set, i have 6 that I can think of right now, plus a christmas set.

Crazing is fine Hally, unless you really want another dinner set, then  tell hubby it's not safe  ;D

I had a lasagne dish with crazing and I left it soaking in the sink overnight.  Next morning there was no water left in it  :o :o  In the bin that went and low and behold a few days later DD2 gave me 2 more casserole dishes with my Mothers' Day presents.  She had no idea of what had happened here with the lasagne dish so it was very timely indeed.  You could try the same thing Hally, fill it with water overnight and see if it is still there in the morning.

Good excuse for a new one.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

H,  it all depends if the crazing is just in the top glaze or all the way through ,  like a crack.  If just in the top layer then you can still use it.  If right through , chuck.

I think its just in the top layer, does that mean they will deepen & become no god.
