Care for your Terracotta

These guidelines are intended for terracotta which is to be used for cooking only. If you terracotta item is not used for cooking then it will be fine just the way it is!

Our plain terracotta products which are glazed ONLY ON THE INSIDE can be used on an open flame such as a gas ring or barbeque, in the oven and on ceramic hobs, in addition to being microwave and dishwasher safe. For induction cookers we recommend using a heat diffuser.

Our plain terracotta products which are glazed ON BOTH SIDES can be used in the oven and are dishwasher and microwave safe but are not really suitable for use in a direct flame as this will crack the glazing.

 

Before first use, please follow these instructions:

1) fill with water and boil before using for the first time.

2) use a low flame for five minutes and raise the temperature gradually.

3) It is not advisable to place them on an open flame without any contents, try to have at least the bottom covered with oil or water

4) Do not subject them to sudden changes in temperature.

5) To store, make sure they are dried completely.

Your terracotta should give you years of use and culinary pleasure if you follow the above instructions!
