CARE

• WASH PRIOR TO USE. PRODUCT IS DISHWASHER SAFE, HOWEVER HAND WASHING IS PREFERRED.
   
• BE CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING THE STONEWARE ESPECIALLY WHEN WASHING. IF THE PIECE SHOULD SLIP OUT OF YOUR HAND AND BREAK, BE VERY CAREFULLY. THE EDGES MAY BE EXTREMELY SHARP AND COULD CAUSE INJURY. WE RECOMMEND WEARING RUBBER GLOVES WHICH HELP GRIP THE SLIPPERY SOAPY SURFACE. ALWAYS LET THE PIECE REST ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SINK WHILE WASHING THEN USE TWO HANDS TO HOLD THE PIECE WHILE RINSING.
   
• UNGLAZED SUFRACES WILL NATURALLY SEASON AND DEVELOP A NATURAL NONSTICK SURFACE OVER TIME.
   
• STONEWARE CAN BE USED IN CONVENTIONAL, CONVECTION, AND MICROWAVE OVENS.
   
• STONEWARE IS FREEZER SAFE.

SAFEGUARDS

• HOT STONEWARE CAN CAUSE BURNS IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY. ALWAYS USE HEAT-RESISTANT OVEN MITTS OR PADS WHEN HANDLING HOT STONEWARE.
   
• STONEWARE MAY SCRATCH OR DISCOLOR SURFACES. PROTECT YOUR COUNTERTOP OR GLASS STOVETOP SURFACES BY USING A PROTECTIVE BARRIER BETWEEN THE STONEWARE AND THE SURFACE. WE RECOMMEND USING A POT HOLDER OR TRIVET UNDER YOUR STONEWARE BEFORE PLACING IT ON COUNTER TOPS OR GLASS STOVETOPES.
   
• AVOID EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES. ALWAYS ALLOW STONEWARE TO COOL TO ROOM TEMPERATURE PRIOR TO ADDING LIQUID OR CLEANING. EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES CAN CAUSE BREAKAGE.
   
• DO NOT USE CHIPPED OR DAMAGED STONEWARE. STONEWARE CAN BREAK IF BUMPED OR DROPPED. IF BREAKAGE OCCURS, USE EXTREME CAUTION AS THE BROKEN PIECES CAN BE SHARP AND CAUSE INJURY.
