Proper care helps your clay pot last longer and perform better. Follow these simple steps to enjoy safe, healthy, and flavorful cooking with your mitti ke bartan.

Before First Use
Soak the handi in clean water for 1 to 2 hours

Let it air dry completely

Apply a light layer of edible oil inside

Fill half with water and heat on low flame for 1 hour using a heat diffuser

Allow it to cool naturally

This one-time seasoning process strengthens the clay and enhances its natural non-stick surface.

Cleaning and Storage
Let the pot cool before washing

Clean with warm water, lemon juice, or baking soda using a soft sponge

Avoid harsh soaps and metal scrubbers

Dry fully in open air

Stack with cloth or tissue between pots to prevent chipping

Always use low to medium heat when cooking

Use a heat diffuser to prevent cracking

Avoid thermal shock — never place a hot pot on a cold surface

Do not use on induction or electric stovetops

With proper care, your terracotta pots from Pakmitti will last for years and bring the real taste of tradition to every meal.
