Is low-fire work food-safe?
A. To a limited extent which is dependent on clay & glaze fit. The glaze must fit snugly yet not allow any crazing. Crazing allows areas for bacteria to harbor. If latent crazing develops, it is no longer food safe. Over the long run we do not consider low-fire work food safe. We suggest you inquire about which glazes fit our lowfire bodies properly. Raku should not be considered food-safe because of glaze crazing and clay porosity.
