4. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: The tureen and lid are dishwasher safe. For best results, place them securely in the dishwasher to prevent movement during the cycle. Hand washing with mild detergent and a soft sponge is also suitable.
• Drying: Ensure the tureen and lid are completely dry before storing to prevent water spots.
• Storage: Store in a cabinet or on a shelf where it is protected from accidental bumps or falls.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the porcelain surface.
• Temperature Changes: While oven safe, avoid extreme and sudden temperature changes (e.g., moving directly from a hot oven to cold water) to prevent thermal shock and potential cracking.

5. Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: If food residue is difficult to remove, soak the tureen in warm soapy water for a period before cleaning.
• Stains: For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and left for a short time before rinsing.
• Chipping/Cracking: Porcelain is durable but can chip or crack if dropped or subjected to severe impact. Handle with care. Avoid using chipped or cracked items as they may pose a safety risk.
