Instructions For Use:
- Submerge Before First Use: Soak the cookware in water for at least 30 minutes before its first use to allow the clay to absorb moisture and reduce the risk of cracking.
- Gradual Heating: Always start heating slowly, using low heat and gradually increasing the temperature. Avoid sudden heat changes that can cause cracking.
- Avoid Thermal Shock: Do not place hot cookware on cold surfaces or under cold water. Use a trivet to protect it from temperature shocks.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or dishwashers.
- Not Safe for Electric or Induction Stoves: Terracotta cookware is not compatible with electric or induction stoves. It's best suited for oven or gas stovetop use only.
