I\'m wondering if anyone with knowledge on this subject could answer this question with some legitmacy.
My fiancee has been complaining on my use of the oven, to warm up oil-based clay for my sculpture. I\'ve heard from some reliable sources that cooking clay in an oven (or a microwave for that matter) leaves clay in the oven\'s atmosphere, or at least on a molecular level. Therefore, use of the oven for food preparation would leave the cooked food in the proximity of the clay.
I make reference of this possibility, as I know for a fact (scientific reports) that toothbrushes left in normal bathrooms (that contain a toilet) 99% of the time possess molecular levels of unmentionable material in the bristles. Much like burning a candle in a room, the near breathable air always contains a certain amount of the material that was exposed.
Now, obviously people aren\'t dying of exposure from their toothbrushes being left in regular bathrooms, so I\'m not supposing food cooked in a clay-cooked oven could do any real harm or damage to the human body over a prolonged time.
But, I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with this, any warnings, any recommendations or the like.
Also, please (as much as I like jokes on this forum) could I have serious replies, as my fiancee is going to kill me.
Thanks again for your guys expertise...
