About Zen Pottery Supplies

Cress 280L Electric Pottery Kiln ET28 Top Loading
Advanced Electronic Control
The Cress E-Series kiln features one of the most advanced electronic controls available on the market. It offers five pre-set, user-friendly firing speeds (compared to the standard three) and customizable programming options, enabling a highly flexible range of firing profiles.
Three-Zone Capability for Precision
Most E-Series kilns now come with three-zone capable controls, designed for enhanced temperature accuracy. Initially, the kilns are set up for single-zone operation, minimizing maintenance by using one thermocouple instead of three. For additional precision, three-zone controls can be ordered at extra cost when placing your order.
Superior Temperature Uniformity
The kiln’s design ensures outstanding temperature uniformity without relying on brute force. This feature enhances firing results and reduces the potential for uneven heating.
Innovative Heat Reflective Stands
Cress is the first to include heat-reflective stands, which significantly reduce floor temperatures during firing, ensuring a safer and more energy-efficient workspace.
