How to Use:

Before Use:

• Check the pot thoroughly; please do not use the claypot if cracks of manufacturing defects are found
• Clean the pot thoroughly with dishwashing liquid and a non-scratch sponge. Rinse and allow to dry
• On first use, it is recommended to add approximately 1 inch of milk to cover the base of the pot. Let the milk simmer for 5 minutes before removing it from heat and allowing the pot cool before cleaning
• Alternatively, simmer about 1L of water with ½ cup of rice for 5 minutes before removing from heat and cleaning

During Cooking:

• Fill the pot with water and place it on the stove. Always use medium flame to heat up the pot. Once heated, use low heat to cook in order to bring out the best flavour in cooking
• Do not attempt stir frying in the pot
• For double boiling, always use low heat after boiling completes. This will allow the ingredients to be fully cooked for the most nutrition and taste
• Once cooking is complete, turn off the stove and leave the pot to cool before removing it. As the pot retains heat, utilise protective mittens when handling the pot
• Recommended temperature for oven-baking is up to 350°C

Cleaning:

• After use, allow the pot to cool before cleaning with dishwashing liquid and a non-scratch sponge. Rinse and allow to dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or heavy duty brushes which may scratch the pot
• Ensure the pot is dry before storing with the lid left slightly open, allowing for air circulation within the pot
• The pot should not be soaked in water for long periods as this will shorten its lifespan
• For stubborn stains and burnt food, place boiling water and dishwashing liquid inside the pot on low heat to loosen the stains. Rinse and allow to dry

IMPORTANT:

• Never heat up the pot when empty as this may damage it
• Avoid using metal utensils to prevent scratches
• When cooking starchy food, do not cook or leave the ingredients unstirred for long periods and cook on low heat
• Handle the pot with care to ensure maximum longevity
