• This handmade product is unique and may differ slightly from one another in terms of colour, pattern, shape and size.

• Do not use in a conventional oven, microwave or induction hob.

• After each use, rinse with water and a soft sponge. Do not put in the dishwasher. Do not use household cleaners or abrasive or metallic sponges.

• After cleaning, air dry well. Do not stack with other objects to avoid scratching.

• Avoid knocks and rubbing.

• As soon as a crack appears, put it out of use to avoid unexpected breakage.

• When first used, leave the item in a pan of boiling water for 30 minutes. The opaque water obtained from rinsing the rice is ideal for this purpose. It smoothes and seals the uneven surface of the clay utensil. Before placing it on a table, check the underside of the object. If it is uneven, place it on a place mat to avoid scratching it. If necessary, use very fine sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges.
