Care
Ceramic benefits from gradual heating and cooling. Avoid sudden temperature changes, and never place a hot cloche on a cold or wet surface. Cool on wood, silicone, or a folded towel. Avoid direct flame and stovetop burners.
Let it cool fully before washing. Dishwasher safe, or wash with warm soapy water. Soak baked-on residue and use a non-abrasive sponge to protect the glaze.
