Hand wash only with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Dry thoroughly immediately after washing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or put it in the dishwasher.
Seasoning involves preparing the porous terracotta material for cooking by sealing it with oil, which helps prevent sticking and protects against moisture absorption. This usually involves heating the oiled dish in an oven.
No, never place a cold terracotta dish into a preheated oven, or vice versa. Sudden temperature changes (thermal shock) can cause the material to crack. Always preheat or cool the dish gradually.

The capacity of this particular El Toro casserole dish is 4.5 liters.
Store the dish in a dry place after ensuring it is completely dry from washing. Placing a cloth or paper towel inside can help absorb any residual moisture.
Minor chips on the rim may not affect functionality but should be handled with care. For significant cracks, discontinue use to avoid breakage during heating.
Ensure the dish was properly seasoned and preheated gradually. Use sufficient cooking liquid and avoid excessive high heat. Re-season the dish if sticking persists.

Ensure the dish is heated evenly by placing it over a low to medium heat source initially, then gradually increasing. Check that your heat source covers the entire base of the dish.
