This milk pan with excellent drainage is not only well-designed but also highly practical.

The handle is made of teak wood, which is considered one of the world's three finest timbers. Teak is famous as a shipbuilding timber, known for its excellent water resistance, durability, and status as a luxury wood. The wooden handle is easy to grip and pairs perfectly with the pottery. The wood and pottery are attached with copper rivets.

● Before Purchase
・Even for the same product, each piece is handmade by the artist, so there may be individual differences in size, weight, color, unevenness, and shape.
Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of a one-of-a-kind product.
・Please use the listed sizes and weights as a guide.
We ask for your understanding of the above before making a purchase.

● Before Use
* White heat-resistant ware may show discoloration or staining with use. We do not recommend it for those who dislike these changes. We hope you will appreciate it as a natural aging process and use it with affection.
・This vessel can be used directly over a flame. Please be careful as the vessel becomes very hot when used with fire.
・If you cook strongly scented foods like curry first, the lingering scent may remain for a while. To reduce this, we recommend cooking less aromatic foods first, such as boiling milk or making porridge.
・White glazed pottery will turn yellowish if used to brew tea. There is no problem with heat resistance, but if you dislike color changes, please use it as a milk pan.

● Precautions for Use
・Direct flame OK, Microwave OK, Oven OK, Dishwasher NO, Dish dryer NO, IH heater NO
・For some time after initial use, the handle may rarely move if the vessel becomes hot, but it will gradually become fixed. This is due to the use of putty (heat-resistant and water-resistant) to protect the connection between the handle and the vessel. This putty is approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) for indirect contact with food and is also used in cutting boards. To prevent scorching the handle, please be careful not to let the flame extend beyond the bottom of the vessel.
・The handle is made of water-resistant teak wood, so it can be used sufficiently even without paint. However, if you are concerned, applying vegetable oil can make it more water-resistant and protect the product from dirt. (Applying oil may darken the wood.)
・The wooden handle can also be washed with detergent.
・Do not leave it immersed in water.
