Handling Precautions
*Because it is made of natural materials, the color, shape, and size may vary slightly depending on the time of arrival.
*Due to the nature of the material, there may be black spots, cracks, splinters, and thorns. Please note that this is not a defective product.
*When using as a steaming strainer, fill the clay pot with water, place the strainer on top, and then place the ingredients on it. It does not fit snugly, so it can be used effectively by placing the ingredients evenly from the center to the outside. *Please wet it thoroughly with water before use. It will be less likely to absorb dirt and oil. Please dry it well after use.
