How to Use

First Use (Seasoning):** Before your first use, it is essential to season the pot. Fill it completely with water and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. This process strengthens the clay and helps prevent cracking, extending the pot's lifespan.

Cooking:**

1. Always start cooking on low heat and gradually increase the temperature. Avoid sudden temperature changes (thermal shock) to prevent damage.

2. Ideal for simmering soups, stews, porridges, and herbal infusions.

3. Do not place a hot pot on a cold or wet surface. Use a trivet.

Care & Safety

Please note that fine surface cracks, or crazing, may develop over time. This is a normal and expected characteristic of traditional earthenware and does not affect the pot's function or safety.

If a minor leak ever develops from a crack, it can be easily sealed. Simply cook a batch of starchy porridge (using glutinous rice is best) in the pot. The starch will naturally fill and seal the pores, making the pot ready for use again.

This pot is best suited for cooks who appreciate and understand the unique nature of traditional clay cookware. Its incredible results are a reward for the mindful care it requires.
