Well, it depends. Depending on the clay, the size, the form, and the thickness of the piece, some pots will crack or warp if dried to quickly and are better off dried slowly. Plates and anything with a handle are generally best dried slowly. On the other hand, small pieces can often be dried quickly and some have been known to set them on top a firing kiln.

Turning regulary can solve this problem. A

Generally, the easiest thing to do is just dry your pots upside down. Rims tend to be thin and dry the quickest ,and feet are thicker and dry slower. If you invert the pot, both tend to dry more evenly.
