Warm it slowly over low heat to start, and never submerge a hot pot in water. Never heat the pot empty or when the bottom is wet, which can cause it to crack, and never soak or leave liquid in the pot for longer than it takes to cook and serve. Each pot should be seasoned according to included instructions before use.
