Before First Use Instructions

Before displaying or using your new tagine set, follow these simple preparation steps:

1. Rinse gently — Wash each tagine with lukewarm water and a soft cloth to remove any dust from shipping. Avoid using harsh scrubbing brushes.
2. Air dry completely — Place the tagines upside down on a clean towel and allow them to dry naturally for 2-3 hours before displaying.
3. Handle with care — Clay pottery is delicate. Always lift tagines by the base rather than the conical lid to prevent cracking.
4. Choose your display location — Position away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant hand-painted colors over time.

Care Instructions

After Each Use (if used for serving):

• Hand wash only with lukewarm water and mild dish soap
• Use a soft sponge or cloth — never abrasive scrubbers
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel immediately

General Maintenance:

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Avoid stacking tagines directly on top of each other; place a soft cloth between pieces if storage space is limited
• Keep away from extreme temperature changes, as clay can crack from thermal shock

What to Avoid:

• Dishwasher — the heat and detergents can damage the glaze
• Microwave — clay pottery is not microwave safe
• Stovetop or oven use — these are decorative tagines, not cooking tagines
• Soaking in water for extended periods

Long-Term Care: Clean with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust. If using for serving, ensure food items are dry (nuts, dried fruits, candies) to preserve the interior finish.
