What is the best way to clean the pot?
Allow the pot to cool to room temperature, then wash it with warm water and dishwashing detergent and rinse with warm water. A dishwashing brush or a light scrubbing pad (such as a white Scotch Brite or a Chore Girl ) may be used. Burned on food may be softened by filling the pot with warm water and allowing it to soak for several hours. Then, wash with detergent and warm water and rinse thoroughly. If odors build up in the pot due to oily or spicy foods, fill it with warm water and add 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Allow to soak overnight then wash normally. The clay pot is safe for use in automatic dishwashers, but water scale may develop due to the drying cycle. This is not harmful but may be removed with a solution of half and half vinegar and water. Note that this is an unglazed pot, and some change in coloration with use is to be expected.
