I guess earthenware can be fired but unglazed, and that according to Milgrom

Also, I don’t understand why food that is wet becomes impure. What about
soup?
They boiled the meat before the ark at Shiloh.



AFAIK the rabbis disagree with Milgrom and maintain that glazed pottery has
the same law as unglazed pottery. (At least this is true in regard to laws
of kashrut.)
I'm not sure what you are saying about the food that is wet. Being wet
doesn't make it impure. But if the rules are like those of kashrut, in some
circumstances being wet can make food more likely to transmit impurity.
