How to use

Preheat the cauldron gradually when placing it over coal or open flame to avoid thermal shock. Place food and liquid according to your recipe, leaving sufficient headspace to prevent boiling over. Monitor cooking temperature by adjusting the fuel or repositioning the cauldron on the tripod or stove. After use, allow the cauldron to cool before cleaning; clean with warm water and a stiff brush, dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of cooking oil to the interior to protect the cast iron from rust.

Usage recommendations

Use on stable, heat‑resistant surfaces and follow safety precautions for open fires and solid‑fuel cooking. Avoid sudden temperature changes and acidic long‑term storage of food to maintain the protective seasoning layer. Regularly re‑season the interior after cleaning to preserve the cookware’s performance and prevent corrosion.
