- Argilla pottery is fragile
- No pre-heating the oven – bowls are placed in a cold oven, thus saving electricity
- Not useable on a stove plate (direct heat) – can be used in the oven, microwave oven, gas ovens and are dishwasher safe
- It is safe to cook at 1800C – if you prefer a lower temperature, extend the cooking period, 1600C is recommended when using the XL Oval Roaster
- The base of all pottery must be covered with either a little water, gravy or food during the cooking process
- Argilla pottery cannot be used as a frying pan
- Food may not be grilled in Argilla pottery
- Do not add cold water or sauce to hot pottery (heat water/sauce first before adding to hot pottery)
- Frozen vegetables may not be added during the cooking process, rinse frozen vegetables first before adding
- Do not expose pottery to shock treatment (e.g. placing hot pottery on cold surface or cold pottery on heated surface), use a wooden board
- After cooking, switch oven off and allow the dish to cool slightly in oven for about 10 minutes
- Handle with care during cleaning, do not bump against hard surfaces
- No more slaving in front of the stove, entire meal can be placed into the oven at once and left until done
- More time for yourself and/or your children, it will only take 15 minutes to put the food into your Argilla pottery and into the oven
- Please note that the Midnight Black Range has a gloss glaze, extra care should be taken to avoid scratches.
