설렁탕/해장국 뚝배기(Clay Pot Wide)

Before First Use:

1. Add rice water or a mixture of water and 1 tablespoon of flour into the pot, filling it halfway.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and bring to a boil over medium-low heat.
3. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Turn off the heat, let it cool for 5 minutes, and discard the water.
5. Rinse with warm water using a soft sponge, avoiding detergent.

※ For added protection, rub cooking oil evenly inside the pot with a paper towel to seal the micropores and prevent residue buildup.

Cleaning Instructions:

1. Soak the pot with water to loosen any food residue.
2. Add water until the pot is half full, mix with 1 tablespoon of flour or baking soda, and bring to a boil.
3. Let it cool completely, then scrub gently with a soft sponge and warm water.

※ Avoid using dishwashing soap to prevent absorption into the micropores.

Cautions

• Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes: Never place a cold pot directly on a hot stove or vice versa, as it may crack.
• Do Not Use Detergents: Micropores in the clay may absorb soap, which can mix with food during subsequent uses.
• Not for Induction Stovetops: The clay material is non-conductive and cannot be used on induction cooktops.
• Handle with Care: Ensure the pot is completely dry before storage to avoid mold formation.
