How to Use

This kettle is designed exclusively for use with specific heat sources to ensure its longevity and your safety.

1. Place the kettle on the center of a **charcoal fire** or an **electric ceramic stovetop**.

2. Fill with water or your desired ingredients, leaving adequate space at the top to prevent boiling over.

3. Heat gradually to allow the clay to warm up evenly. Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes.

4. **IMPORTANT:** **DO NOT use on a gas stove, induction cooktop, or any open-flame gas burner.** Using this pot on an incompatible heat source will cause it to crack or break and poses a significant safety hazard.

Care & Safety

Before first use, rinse the pot and lid thoroughly with warm water.

Always allow the pot to cool down completely before washing. Submerging a hot pot in cold water can cause thermal shock and lead to cracking.

Hand wash with a soft sponge and water. Avoid using harsh soaps or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the clay surface.

Regularly inspect the pot for any cracks or chips before each use. Discontinue use if significant damage is found.
