Instructions For Use:

1. 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.
2. Gradual Heating: Always start heating slowly, using low heat and gradually increasing the temperature. Avoid sudden heat changes that can cause cracking.
3. Avoid Thermal Shock: Do not place hot cookware on cold surfaces or under cold water. Use a trivet to protect it from temperature shocks.
4. Cleaning: Hand wash with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or dishwashers.
5. 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​.
