Wooden Lid Care: Wash thoroughly before use. If the lid has a strong odor, simmer in water with vinegar to remove the smell.

How to Use:

Heat Settings: Use medium or low heat when cooking on gas. For induction cookers, avoid sharp heat increases and use moderate settings.

Post-Cooking: Always transfer food to another container after cooking.

Care Instructions After Use:

Cleaning: Wash with neutral detergent and a sponge. Dry completely, then heat the pot to remove any remaining moisture. Apply cooking oil and wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Wooden Lid: Wipe with a damp cloth; do not soak in water to prevent cracking.

Avoid Scratching: Do not use steel scouring pads. Soak stuck food in hot water and gently remove.

Additional Notes:

Rust Prevention: If the finish peels off, rub the area clean with a sponge, then re-season with cooking oil.

Burnt Food: Soak in hot water before cleaning; do not use sharp objects to scrape.

Wood Lid: The lid may release harmless sap, and slight cracking from drying is normal. Avoid sudden drying.

Not Microwave Safe: Do not use in microwaves or ovens.
