Q: What is the recommended process for seasoning or preparing the clay pot before first use?
A: Before first use, soak the entire pot in water for several hours or overnight. This prevents cracks when exposed to heat. Let it dry, then apply a thin layer of oil inside the pot and gently heat it to season the surface. This process helps strengthen the pot and improves cooking quality.
