Terracotta encourages an exchange of flavour, enhances aroma and imparts a special taste to all food. By distributing heat in a uniform and gradual way over the whole surface, terracotta retains the basic nutritional elements of food, avoiding the transformation of fat into substances harmful to health and also keep it hotter for longer. The particular "veining cracking" to be found on the terracotta surface is not a defect but a special characteristic which ensures resistance to naked Name and temperature changes. Before first time use add some water with vinegar in the crockery until boiling. This tip will alleviate the characteristic veining-cracking and it will mitigate the liquid emission due to the porosity of the material. To eliminate possible residual cooking flavour it is absolutely needful to wash the dish in hot water with a normal detergent, better still in the dishwasher and leave to dry completely before storage or use, this will prevent the bad smell release.
