How to use

Prepare your ingredients and place them directly into the dish, ensuring the contents do not exceed the rim to prevent spills during the cooking process. Place the dish into a preheated oven according to your recipe instructions. Always use heat-resistant mitts or pads when handling the hot ceramic dish. After cooking, allow the dish to cool down gradually before cleaning to avoid thermal shock.
