For general washing, wait until the clay pot cools. Then wash it in warm
water with a very small amount of natural dishwashing liquid and rinse
thoroughly.
•
Do not use abrasive scouring powders or steel wool. Plastic brush or
nylon scrub pads can be used as needed.
•
For hard to remove residue or burns, or to do a thorough cleaning, boil
water with several spoonfuls of baking soda in the clay pot for 1-2 hours
(make sure the water doesn’t boil away completely).
•
After washing, dry thoroughly and store. Always clean and dry
thoroughly before storing.
•
If the cooker should become moldy (because it was not thoroughly
cleaned or food residue was left inside), make a paste of baking soda and
water, cover the cooker with the paste and allow it to dry. When the
paste is dry, rinse with water and dry well.
•
If clay pot pores become clogged, boil the pot to remove debris. Use a
roaster with a rack and add tepid water. Place the pot bottom on the rack
and bring water to a boil. Boil for 30 minutes to remove the
debris. Repeat doing the top if necessary.
•
Some cooking residue may fill into the venting holes of the clay lid itself,
or around the clay lid. To clean, use a warm water to wash the clay lid,
and use damp cloth to wipe silicon vent gasket and the large silicone ring
(being careful not to remove it).
Caution:
When washing the clay pot, it is recommended that a soft cloth or pad
be placed between the pot and sink to protect the pot from hitting the sink.
A remedy to remove burnt food from the bottom of the pot-
Put 1 cup water, 1/4 vinegar, 1 TP of baking soda and turned the cooker on the Slow
cooking – Stew setting and let it on for 20 minutes. If you need to boil it for 40
minutes, you need to double the ingredients, specially water to prevent from dry
heating that causes stress on clay pot.
