About the cauldron’s surface

At the factory, the cauldron is treated once with cottonseed oil to protect it from rust during transport. This is not paint or a separate nonstick coating. Prepare the cauldron according to the instructions before first use.

  • Do not leave the cauldron in water for long periods or store it while damp.
  • Do not cool a hot cauldron with cold water.
