Before First Use

Wash the toban and its lid with a soft sponge and mild detergent, rinse, and let them dry completely before the first use.

Cooking Tips

• The toban is made for grilling and stir-frying, then going straight to the table, where the clay keeps food hot.
• Use it on a gas flame over low to medium heat, or in the oven (lid up to 250°C) or microwave. It is not suitable for induction.
• Never heat it empty, including preheating or dry-toasting. Add oil and ingredients first, then bring it up to heat gently.
• Clay is absorbent, so stir-fries can leave stains or scorch marks. Don't use it for deep-frying.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as putting the hot lid on a cold sink or running cold water over it.
• It can go in the fridge or freezer. Thaw it with its contents at room temperature before heating.

Care and Maintenance

• Let the toban cool naturally before washing.
• Wash by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Don't soak it or put it in the dishwasher.
• For scorch marks, simmer 1 tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda per cup of water on low for about 10 minutes after it boils, leave it to cool, then wash with a sponge.
• Dry thoroughly before storing in a dry, airy place to prevent mould.
