Care Instructions in Case of Peeling Finish:

2. Wipe away any remaining moisture before coating the entire inside of the pot with cooking oil. Apply low to medium heat until the oil reaches a high temperature.
3. Remove from heat and allow the oil to sit until it has cooled.
*The surface finish is a safe resin coating.In the unlikely event that it is ingested, it passes through the body without being absorbed, and causes no health effects.
*If the area where the finish peeled off has rusted, rub the area clean with a firm sponge before following steps 2 and 3 of the process.
