Usage guide to optimise your terrine

First use: Soak the terrine and its lid for a minimum of 2 hours in cold water. Cook 2 to 3 cm of milk at 200°C, then allow to cool. This preparation readies the clay for optimal use.

Cooking: Place the terrine in a cold oven that you heat progressively. Never place hot terrine on cold surface to avoid thermal shock.

Cleaning: Use lukewarm water with soft sponge and washing-up liquid. Store in a dry, well-ventilated location.

Natural characteristics of Alsatian ceramics

The micro-cracks in the glaze sometimes observed are completely normal and beneficial. They allow the clay to expand and contract without breaking. A natural shrinkage of 2 to 8% is also common and does not harm product performance.

Note : Sometimes you can see very thin cracks in the glaze of the Baeckeoffe Terrine. These micro-cracks are essential if the clay in the pottery is to expand and contract without breaking. They are more or less visible depending on the piece and the colour, and become more pronounced with time and use.

A natural shrinkage of pottery ranging from 2 to 8% is completely normal, due to the phenomenon of evaporation of water, which is transformed into gas, causing the molecules to move closer together.

It can also happen that a lack of paint can occur under the handles of the mould by turning it over, this is not a defect because everything is covered with the protective varnish and does not present an aesthetic lack because it is located under the handles and not visible.
