Question

how to cook pottery at home?

Answer 1

Well... do you have a kiln?

The oven is hot enough to harden clay, but not make is durable as a kiln does.

Your choice. I'm going to have some pizza. :-P

Answer 2

How far I know if you don't have special equipment it's impossible to get high enough temperature unless you want to build your own in your backyard.. It's like a small house made from bricks with the fireplace underneath. Takes a lot of time (you should get at least 700 C) but not very difficult and it gives really special look to pottery..

Answer 3

Pottery has to be vitrified to have the properties that we expect and that takes a temperature will above 1400F reached over some time. How far above depends on the kind of clay but usually several hours.
