Please be aware of the above before making your purchase.

● Before use
・This product can be used directly over a fire. Please be careful when using it over a fire as it will become very hot.
・If you cook something with a strong aroma such as curry at first, the lingering aroma may linger for a while. To reduce this, we recommend that you boil milk or make porridge or other foods with a mild aroma before using the product.

● Precautions for use
・Direct flame ○ Microwave ○ Oven ○ Dishwasher × Dish dryer × IH heater ×
・For a while after you start using the product, the handle may occasionally move when the container becomes hot, but it will gradually become fixed. This is due to the putty (heat and water resistant) that protects the joint between the handle and the container. This putty is approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) for use in direct contact with food, and is also used on cutting boards. To avoid burning the handle, be careful not to let the flame get larger than the bottom of the container.
・The handle is made of water-resistant teak wood, so it can be used without painting, but if you are concerned about it, you can apply vegetable oil to make it more water-resistant and protect the product from dirt. (Applying oil may cause the wood to darken.)
-The wooden handle can also be washed with detergent.
・Do not leave it submerged in water.
