Eli5: Why shouldn’t you put home made ceramics (a mug, for example) through the dishwasher? If they can withstand the heat of a kiln, surely a dishwasher is fine?

Question

I mean, I put them through the dishwasher sometimes anyway, but I’m told I shouldn’t? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer 1

I’m a potter. You absolutely can put most home made ceramics through the dishwasher. I do all the time. There are some exceptions. But if someone is making a mug or other functional piece, they should not be using those exceptions.

Go for it.
