Is there lead in the glaze? Is it a good size for bread? thanks

No lead. If you're interested in this for bread making, there are clay bakers specifically made for bread. But, I would say the inside of this is rather narrow and you could make a loaf. Other reviewers mention using it for bread making. You'd probably do better asking someone who does use this to make bread how well it does it. Wish I could be more helpful.

The lead is not glazed. Yes, you will get an average bread loaf using this pot. This is a great clay pot!

I bought it because i assumed that it didn't have lead. It is wonderful for bread that is why i bought it.

I am not sure if it does or not. This was a gift to my best man at my wedding close to 2 years ago. It is a beautiful piece but definitely not on the higher end crystal but decent enough. Sorry I can't answer the question about lead.

Nothing in writing but the glaze is well done, washes easily and is maintaining its original color. I was worried about that so that I watch glaze carefully. It looks like a very good job with no indications of lead.

I make porcelain pottery in my studio. It would be very unlikely that it would have any lead in it because lead is used to get bright colors. This is pure white and would not need lead to get that look.

The ceramic bowl is NOT coated with a non-stick coating, like teflon or silverstone, but rather the glaze that ALL crocks and ceramic has on its surface and which keeps food, liquids or cleaning solutions from leaching into the bowl itself. The customer service rep was confirming it is not a lead-containing glaze. Have you seen the actual product? 'Not sure why you think there would be an issue, but maybe you could be more specific.

Have not needed the warranty and I'm sure the glaze is lead free or they wouldn't be selling them, I Hope!!!

I'm assuming there's no lead. We've had these for over a year now with >50 hot dishwasher cycles with no visual corrosion or pitting associated with lower grade stainless steels that may have lead. Only downside is sometimes residual detergent/soap gets caught in the straw, so I usually do a safety rinse under a faucet coming out of the dishwasher.

The interior is unglazed and I also own one that is glazed that I purchased on eBay. The one that I have that is glazed is only glazed on the bottom part so the upper can hold some moisture for baking. The Superstone Bread dome is fabulous and when used after soaking the top during final proofing will more closely emulate a commercial bread deck oven more than any other technique I know of.

Oh golly, I'm sorry, I have no idea about the lead. I would assume it's lead free, but that's just my guess. I really enjoy mine.

I called the Cuisinart customer service line and asked this question. They said that even though this product is made in China, it is made to FDA standards and does not contain any lead in the glaze.

It's definitely not lead crystal, I am pretty sure its just molded glass. That said, its fairly cheap and looks aright.

Im on the search for a lead free slow cooker. I called the company and they claim the ceramic pot, and enamel/glaze on the pot are lead free. Ive also read blogs and comments of other women calling and getting the same answer, and even doing their own lead test at home, that showed negative results for lead.

Yes, it is food safe. If there were lead in the glaze it would be required by US law that it be labeled, "For decorative use only".

It doesn't appear so. It just looks to be a polished surface. There may very well be lead inside, but I am not sure about it.

You know?, I honestly don't know. Since they are NOT lead crystal, just plain, clear glass, I would venture to guess they are lead free but you could check with Libbey to be sure. They are awesome goblets though... I love them!

We bought the Cuisinart 10" saute pan 8 or 10 months ago, but I do think I read from the info that came with the pan that they claimed the coating was lead and cadmium free. Really like this pan -- it is "non-stick" if you season it and treat it right.

I'm not sure I can answer that question. It looks like it's a coated metal and it's heavier than aluminum would be. It works very well. It gives the bread a nice crust.
