Care & Seasoning Instructions

To unlock the full durability and performance of your cazuela, an initial curing process is required:

1. Fully submerge the cazuela in water and soak for 4 hours
2. Fill with water just below the rim
3. Place on low heat and gradually increase temperature until the water gently boils

This one-time process strengthens the clay and prepares it for long-term use. With each use, your cazuela will continue to naturally season and improve, much like cast iron.

Care Tips for Longevity

• Hand wash recommended
• Avoid sudden temperature changes (no cold water in a hot dish)
• Do not transfer directly from refrigerator to heat
