What is a kiln?

Correct Answer

A kiln is a big oven used by potters for baking pots and bricks.

It has a very hot fire burning inside it. When pots or bricks are placed in the kiln, the heat bakes them and makes them hard and ready for use.

The kiln is essential in pottery and brick-making as it transforms soft, shaped clay into durable, usable products.
