Purpose and key benefits Designed for stovetop stewing on gas burners. The clay body and ceramic lid give steady heat retention for longer, more even cooking and better flavor extraction. Ceramic lid has venting holes and is temperature resistant, allowing steam to escape and reducing boilover while maintaining a sealed cooking environment. Clay construction increases resistance to burning on open flame and improves heat preservation so food stays warm after cooking. Important attributes Compatibility: Intended for use with gas stoves. Do not assume compatibility with other cooktops unless specified elsewhere. Material: Clay pot body with a ceramic lid featuring vent holes. Performance: Good heat retention, flame resistance, and stable stovetop performance under temperatures. Safety: The exterior and lid can become very hot during use. Antiscalding precautions are ; gloves or heatresistant handles are recommended. What this product solves Prevents rapid heat loss common with thin metal pans, keeping stews and soups warm longer. Reduces the risk of pressure buildup and boilover through vented lid design. Provides a durable vessel for prolonged simmering or braising over a gas flame. Typical use scenarios 1. Slowsimmered soups and bone broths: maintain a gentle, steady simmer to extract maximum flavor and collagen. 2. Braised meats and stews: use the clay pot for long, lowheat braising that keeps meat tender and sauce concentrated. 3. Onepot porridges or congee: even heat retention helps prevent sticking and keeps food warm for serving. Practical notes Use caution when handling after heating; the pot and lid retain heat. Protective gloves or pot holders are recommended. Suitable specifically for gasstove cooking as stated; follow any additional instructions provided with the product for results.
