I purchased the clay as a gift. However i did some research prior to purchase and i seem to remember that it oxidizes quickly and should be quenched immediately or fired in carbon.

I have the product. Like it but my copper pieces are for decoration only. Sorry. Call the company for an answer.

I think you shouldn't use with that. Because in time your coco coir will be like clay and water drain will be stop. I quit to use fox farm like 3-5 ago, but still my hose(3/8 inch IO) occluded. Even I cleaned up twice. By the way, You don't want to see roots. :S

The clay is light grey wet and white after firing. I have been firing it at 5 and 6.

Sure, you can put hot coco mix in it. I've put a lot worse in mine. It will keep it hot a long time too.

I use the Kelapo extra virgin cocanut oil to make incredible lotion. I heat it and combine it with other ingredients . It is in a plastic container and Kelapo oil is the best cocanut ut oil that I have used for tthis project . I have not heard about the leaching problem .

I think walnut shells work best, but corn cob will work, just not as good. Hope that answers your question. Using a chemical cleaner makes them both work better,

This clay will become 'Bone Dry' then can be fired in a kiln. The clay will be very brittle in an air dry state. Once it's fired the clay will be transformed into a hard, low-fire quartz state. Then you can apply glaze and fire again. We use this clay for wheel throwing and making ceramics.

Hi again, it's cocoa so it has been heated. I read if it's raw it would be cacao.

No. However, my dad used to use copper sulfate to control algae in his catfish ponds. (I said used to - he is now deceased.) Hope this helps.

No, there are no metals in the clay. And also, if u buy it from vita cost directly it's a little better price too.

I do not believe so. This has been heated, no matter what they claim. Turns brown when melted (should be clear) and does not have coconut scent. This is OK for a body oil, but would not use it to cook with unless you can only afford this price. You get what you pay for with these oils and the bit more is well worth it. I use it for hands and to put in my dog's food. Good for dog's coat. Hope this helps to make a better choice.

I also use a hammer to break the coconut shell after removing the water. Some people use a hot oven (400 F / 200 C) for 10 minutes to break the shell - and the coconut comes out easily, but my oven is too small so I don&#699;t. The coconut tool is very much easier to use than a knife to remove the coconut and takes MUCH less time.

STOP....STOP....PLEASE DON'T CLEAN YOUR COPPER BOTTOM PANS. Sorry to be an alarmist. If you scour your copper bottom pans they won't be copper bottomed for long. You'll end upwith brass bottom pans. The copper will wear off. The reason the copper is there is for efficient heating of your cooking. The copper shouldn't be shiny. It should be dark. Whew..I hope this warning is in time to save it..

I BELIEVE YOUR QUESTION IS "Is it safe to make jam in a copper pan that's not lined". The answer is "yes". If your question was is it safe for everything that one cooks than the answer would be "no".Best wishes,Gary

I purchased them to send overseas to family members so I cant answer your question. I currently use All Clad Copper Core, a bit expensive but worth every penny. They are awesome.

You have to start you clay cooker in a cold oven. Then gradually build temp. My understanding of wood fired oven is that they need to be thoroughly preheated????
