Do not use for stir-frying or deep-frying. Be sure to heat it evenly on a gas stove. Remove the lid when using it in an oven, as a rapid rise in temperature may cause it to crack.

Hold the pot with both hands when carrying it, as the ceramic pot is heavy. Do not touch it with a wet cloth or place it in a damp area while it is hot, as rapid cooling could cause it to break. Do not add too much water. This could cause boiling over and result in injury. Do not heat rapidly to high temperatures, and be sure to stir thoroughly while heating.
