It is prone to staining, so it is recommended to avoid dark-colored dishes until the oil has evenly permeated the entire piece. As you use it more, its character will deepen, and we hope you enjoy this transformation. If you are concerned, try soaking it in water for about 10 minutes before use. This will help prevent staining and odors to some extent, allowing it to gradually develop over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◾️Microwave: ⚪︎ \/ Direct Flame: × \/ Oven: × \/ Dishwasher: ⚪︎\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*No returns or refunds will be accepted.
