How to use

Place the pot on a stovetop burner of appropriate size and add ingredients according to the recipe. Use low to medium heat for sauces, melting and gentle simmering to avoid food sticking or burning.

After use, allow the pot to cool before washing to protect the finish.

Usage recommendations

For longer life, avoid sudden temperature changes such as rinsing a hot pot with cold water. Use wooden, silicone or plastic utensils to prevent scratching the interior surface. Clean with mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge; for stubborn residues, soak in warm soapy water before washing.
