Seasoning & Care Guide
Before First Use: Submerge the clay pan in water for 24 hours, then let it air dry completely. Rub a generous layer of cooking oil across the interior surface and heat it on a very low flame for 5–10 minutes to seal the pores naturally.
Daily Maintenance: Always cook on low to medium heat, as clay heats up evenly and retains temperature beautifully. After cooking, let the pan cool down completely before washing to prevent thermal shock. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated space.
