The El Toro Ceramic Oven Dishes can withstand heat up to 300 degrees Celsius (572 degrees Fahrenheit).

If you use the dishes infrequently, it's a good practice to soak them again for about an hour and let them dry before using them to maintain their condition.
Soak the cooled dish in warm, soapy water. For persistent residue, use a soft sponge or cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive materials.
It means avoiding rapid changes in temperature, such as placing a very hot dish directly onto a cold countertop or into cold water, which can stress the ceramic.
This is often due to thermal shock. Ensure you avoid placing hot dishes on cold surfaces or immersing them in cold water. If cracks are minor and the dish is still functional, it might be usable for dry baking, but consider replacing it for safety with wet foods.
Ensure adequate pre-use soaking and proper greasing/oiling before adding food. For sticky residues after cooking, soak the dish in warm, soapy water before cleaning.
Some minor discoloration may occur with very frequent use or with acidic foods. This is often superficial. Gentle scrubbing with a non-abrasive cleaner may help. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Ensure your grip is firm and use oven mitts or pot holders for added security. Distribute the weight evenly. The handles are designed for secure gripping but always exercise caution with hot cookware.
Initial Preparation:
Before first use, it is recommended to soak the El Toro Ceramic Oven Dishes in water for 3 to 5 hours. After soaking, allow them to dry completely. This process helps to ensure the longevity and durability of the ceramic.
Infrequent Use:
If you plan to use the dishes infrequently, it is advisable to soak them again for about an hour and let them dry before each use.
Oven Use:
These dishes are safe for oven use up to 300 degrees Celsius (572 degrees Fahrenheit). Ensure the dishes are placed on a stable oven rack.
Care and Cleaning:
To clean, allow the dishes to cool down before washing. Wash with warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh detergents, as these can damage the glaze. Handwashing is recommended to preserve the finish.
Temperature Sensitivity:
Avoid abrupt temperature variations. Do not place a hot dish on a cold or wet surface, or immerse a hot dish in cold water. This can cause the ceramic to crack or break.
