How to use

Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when removing the lid or handling the pot after heating.

Usage recommendations

Season the cast iron surface if required and avoid sudden temperature changes. Clean with warm water and a soft brush; dry thoroughly to prevent rust. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil after drying to maintain the surface. Avoid using aggressive detergents or prolonged soaking. Use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the cooking surface and extend the life of the cookware.
