Tom Turner is a firm believer in the phrase "no detail is too small," which is one of the reasons his pots are so exquisite. One of the details that he prides himself on are his quiet, no-friction, perfectly fitting lids.Tom spends time throughout the making process to make sure he is getting the tightest possible lid fit, but he also wants them to be silky smooth "like butta."
His secret comes from an auto parts store. In today's post, an excerpt from his video Understanding Porcelain, Tom shares that secret. - Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
