I don't know. I'm just a beginner I got it because it is low fire clay . You might want to look at the company's website for all safe uses.

The body of this BBQ is not clay. It is aluminum oxide ceramic. You could get it white hot and burning through to China before it would melt. The metal parts would have to be melted off long before the body even started to glaze like glass around the edges.

No, direct flame to it would crack the terracotta. Be careful too - I've tried to "bake" on a grill with terracotta before and it didn't just crack, there was something moist in it (a chicken) and it exploded all over the place.

Dear Elizabeth,Thank you for writing. Since oleander is highly toxic to humans and animals, you should not add it to your compost pile. It is also unsafe to burn it. You may wish to contact your local Cooperative Extension Service for advice on safe disposal of oleander.

I found this statement in Scientific American (link below): Consumer advocate Debra Lynn Dadd, who steers clear of Teflon due to health concerns, is bullish on silicone cookware after investigating potential toxicity. "I tried to find some information on the health effects of silicone rubber, but it was not listed in any of the toxic chemical databases I use," she reports, adding that she also sampled material safety data on several silicone rubbers manufactured by Dow Corning (which makes some 700 variations). "All descriptions I read of silicone rubber describe it as chemically inert and stable, so it is unlikely to react with or leach into food, nor outgas vapors." She adds that silicone "is not toxic to aquatic or soil organisms, it is not hazardous waste, and while it is not biodegradable, it can be recycled after a lifetime of use." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=earth-talk-silicone-tally

There are new non stick coatings out that you can use medel utinsils, and go into the dishwasher. Those do not throw off toxins..You might want to look into those breadmakers!Its really isn't toxic unless the taflon seal is , cut, scraped off, so to speak, ..If you do not use high heat with taflon there is not a problem, but before using it, always heat itup for awhile with water in it, and wash it out again, then use it..We are all going to die of something, and I doubt at this point if its going to be teflon!

Clay litter isn't, probably not even as fine dust (which could cause a fuel/air explosion with some materials like flour, grain, etc) because it's mostly clay. Clay isn't a flammable fuel.

I was wondering the same and found this on their facebook page in the comments... "We season our pans with soybean oil, however we bake it on at a very high temperature. Baking it at such a high temperature breaks down the oil so that it bonds with the surface of the iron, thereby destroying any soy particles. That said, if it worries you that we season our pans with soybean oil, you can easily strip the seasoning by placing your skillet upside down in a self-cleaning oven and run the cleaning cycle. This will strip the oil completely off, and you can re-season it by rubbing it with an oil of your choice, then baking it at 350 for an hour." Hope this helps! :) I was wondering the same and found this on their facebook page in the comments... "We season our pans with soybean oil, however we bake it on at a very high temperature.

It's non-toxic (says on the package). If you're thinking of using this in an enclosed pantry or something, I guess that would work.

i think so...they are or seem to be that 'fimo' type clay.....i dont think it would ruin them if you baked them more with clay of that type.

Hmm. Great question. Nope. There is no information as to toxicity on the label. As this plastic seems to be infinitely remold-able I doubt that there is any out-gassing happening. The product is not soluble in the human body. The only danger I can see would be of choking/blockage so I would not want to swallow a hot/warm glob of this product. Children need to be supervised when using ThermoMorph due to the high temperature needed to mold the product.

Yes Le Creuset prides itself on making cookware minus the toxins. I believe that only certain lines of Le Creuset do this though. Please do a search on Le Creuset to see their policy. I would have provided a link to search but Amazon blocked me from doing that. Nice play, Amazon. You want me to help customers but you block any searching that a client provides. :-/ Also, cast iron is a great way to cook anyway. Pans are heavy, but my health is more important!

It's Cast Iron, so clean as usual with this material. No soap, ever. If it gets really gunked up, burn off the drippings directly over heat (I place it on my chimney charcoal starter). If you let it get rusty (shame on you), it can be scrubbed, oiled well, and fired in the oven (be prepared for some smoke). Doug

Alot of pottery suppliers carry clay that you can fire in your oven...much better than air dry clay that came with the wheel... try Continental Clay in Minneapolis...toll free 1-800-432-clay or 612-3318564....they ship to all 50 states and I have been buying from them since 1975...Connors Pottery on face book...tc

No, I'm 90% sure that it isn't...90% because I didn't actually try but it doesn't say oven safe anywhere and the material looks like it'd melt very easily!:)

No. It's a charcoal grill meant for outdoors. It also needs to be kept dry. The clay in the sides are fire hardened, but they are not ceramic.... they will crack and disintegrate in overly wet or humid conditions.

Yes, definitely! You only have to be worried about the glaze you use being non-toxic. Red, for example, sometimes has lead in it. So just make sure whatever glaze you use specifically says it's food safe!
