How to Use

1. **First Use & Preheating:** Before its first use, and for every subsequent use, it is crucial to heat the pot gradually. Start on the lowest heat setting and slowly increase the temperature to prevent thermal shock and cracking.

2. **Heating:** Place the pot on a compatible heat source, such as an electric ceramic stove set to 600W or less, or over a charcoal fire. **WARNING: Do not use on a gas flame stove.**

3. **Cooking:** Add your ingredients to the pot. It is suitable for dry-roasting tea leaves or simmering liquids like water, milk tea, or porridge.

4. **Enjoy:** Savor the uniquely rich and smooth flavors developed by cooking in natural clay.

Care & Safety

The unglazed clay is naturally porous and may develop seepage if used exclusively for boiling water over a long period.

To maintain and "season" the pot, it is recommended to occasionally cook a batch of sticky rice porridge or milk tea. This process helps naturally seal the micropores, enhancing the pot's durability and longevity.

Handle with care, as the pot and its contents will become very hot. Allow it to cool down naturally before cleaning.
