Welcome to your WokPot!
I am so excited to introduce you to the wonderful world of cooking in clay. We hope your WokPot will become a treasured appliance in your home!
Your WokPot is made of Flameware clay, specially formulated to withstand thermal shock. This means you can use it on your stovetop or in the oven. This clay has been tested on electric and gas ranges, gas grills, and smaller versions have even worked in air fryers. It has also undergone testing in preheated ovens and is ready for your use!
The WokPot is unglazed, with a lightly burnished surface that consolidates the clay particles on the cook surface. This will contribute to the even heat distribution and the non-stick nature. Even so, we do recommend curing your WokPot before use as a way to get used to handling a heavier than usual pot, and to ensure even, non-stick cooking for years to come.

Water and Oil Curing (more images coming soon!):
Step One:
Fill your sink with enough water to completely cover the WokPot. Let it sit in the water at least 12 hours or overnight.
You may see tiny air bubbles being released from the clay surface - this is normal!

Step Two:
Drain the sink and use a clean, soft cloth to dry the inside and outside of the WokPot. Don’t worry if the cloth discolors a bit – the soak, in addition to preparing for the curing, may release some surface clay dust from the firing.

Step Three:
Pour 1-2 TBSP of oil (olive oil or any oil you cook with) in the pot and using your clean fingers, massage it into the entire inside surface of the pot. You can also oil the rim if you like. Leave the pot on the counter, or in the sun if possible, and let the oil absorb for a few hours.

Step Four:
Give your WokPot a first heating. Place it in the oven and set it to 400 degrees and leave it for 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the pot cool.

Your WokPot is now ready to use! |
Please review our FAQs and start over lower heat until you learn where the sweet spot is on your cook surface. If you’re using in the oven, the WokPot can go into a preheated or cool oven.
