Description
PORTABLE Ceramic Oven, for ceramic firing in MICROWAVE.
This is the biggest of the entire Capsule family. You will be able to fire miltiple pieces at the same time (depending on their size), in just 65 minutes (in a 900w microwave) or 120 minutes (in a 700w microwave).
You can fire clay and earthenware pieces; The maximum working temperature is 1100°C.
You can do fire biscuit, glaze, single-fire and third-fire firings. It is also usable for third fire or luster.
- Useful internal measurements: 16cm in diameter and 10cm high
- Weight: 1950g
The largest piece you will be able to cook is 9.5cm high and 15.5cm in diameter, since they do not have to touch the walls
Each Capsule comes with a use kit:
- Chosen capsule.
- Leather gloves: prepared for handling hot objects.
- 29cm scissor clamps: in case we want to remove hot pieces.
- Loading kit: it will allow you to make more than one floor in the capsule and you will be able to fire more pieces (3 plates and pillars of 2, 3 and 5cm).
- Ceramic fiber paper: to protect the base of the capsule.
- Calibration samples: so you can determine the exact firing times in your microwave.
- Instruction manual: we explain step by step each type of firing and everything you need to know.
- Video tutorial: with a duration of 30 minutes, explaining its use and answering questions.
- After-sales Service: to resolve all your particular doubts, because we want you to learn how to use your capsule well and get the most out of it.
Expected results (compared to traditional firing)
- The same results are observed in low temperature firing, with the use of slips, pigments and coloring oxides. Also with transparent and white glaze.
- At low temperatures the pieces pleasantly pass the thermal shock analysis, indicating perfect maturation of the materials, good formation of the intermediate layer between paste and glaze. This ensures that the glazes will not crack due to differences in expansion coefficient. And, furthermore, they are suitable for being in contact with food.
- At high temperature, the pastes indicate the same maturation of the material as in traditional firing, the same as the glazes. The results are similar when it comes to decoration with pigments and transparent glazes.
- Because we are talking about rapid firing, a variation in results is observed in some raw glazes that require particular maturation curves, in matte or crystallized glazes.
- We could have a slight variation in temperature, if we make several floors inside the capsule.
- The maturation of the different types of ceramic materials is measured by comparison, through samples and tests of the different types of ceramics to be fired.
The insulating material of the capsule is ceramic fiber.
This type of firing is still experimental, research is still being done to systematize all its results!
It is advisable that the microwave be used exclusively for ceramics, due to the toxicity of some glazes that may be used.
Your Capsule is dispatched the week following the purchase, and then allow for 7 days for shipping to anywhere in the world.
