Originating from Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan, the pottery work of this region boasts a distinctive style. The double-firing technique employed during the manufacturing process may result in certain areas remaining untouched by smoke, leaving behind a reddish mark. This, however, only adds to the individuality of each piece.
To ensure proper usage, please follow the instructions below:
1. Getting started:
- Soak the pinch pot overnight prior to its first use.
- Once soaked, allow it to dry completely before proceeding.
2. Cleaning:
- Thoroughly rinse the pot with hot water.
- Utilize a light scrubber (or coconut coir) and add one tablespoon of salt to scrub the pot.
- After scrubbing, use a cotton cloth to wipe the pot clean.
- Ensure the pot is completely dry before its next use.
Please refrain from using soap or detergent as they can penetrate the pores of the pot and subsequently contaminate your food.
