Fill each piece 3⁄4 full with water and place in the oven for 30 minutes at 200oC. This process allows La Chamba items to seal. However, due to the porous nature of the cookware, a complete seal is sometimes achieved only after items have been used several times for cooking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLa Chamba cookware is safe for use on the stove, in the oven, microwave and under the grill.

La Chamba is dishwasher safe. If food is burnt or stuck to the surface, allow the cookware to soak in hot soapy water for a few hours and then clean the surface with a nylon scrubber.
