Seasoning the pot before first use can make it more robust and durable!

[ Seasoning ]

1 / Prepare 2 cups of rice water (can be substituted with bean flour water or wheat flour water)

2 / Pour rice water into the pot until it's about 80% full, then bring to a boil

3 / After boiling, let it cool, then discard the rice water and clean the pot

4 / After cleaning the ceramic pot, wipe dry the inside and outside, then air dry completely

[ Cleaning and Maintenance ]

/ Avoid leaving leftover food in the pot for extended periods, as it can cause mold

/ After use, ensure the ceramic pot has cooled down before cleaning

Rinsing a hot ceramic pot with cold water may cause cracks

/ If food burns during cooking, soak it in warm water

After softening the burnt parts, clean with a non-abrasive dishwashing sponge

/ If warm water soaking is not enough, add water and heat on low heat

to soften the burnt parts, then clean once the pot has cooled

/ Always air dry thoroughly after cleaning before storing

[ Precautions ]

Placing the pot on heat when its bottom is still wet may cause it to crack

Do not place a hot pot on cold surfaces such as tiles or stainless steel countertops

Do not dry-heat the pot or lid
