Clay Pot Care & Maintenance
Understanding Natural Clay
The clay pot is the heart of authentic tandoor cooking, handcrafted from natural materials:
Normal Wear Characteristics
- Minor cracks are a natural characteristic of clay with use
- Surface cracks do not affect cooking performance or food safety
- Clay expands and contracts with temperature changes
- These characteristics are inherent to traditional tandoor construction
Maintenance Tips
- Use included maintenance clay for minor repairs
- Allow tandoor to cool completely before cleaning
- Never apply water directly to hot clay surface
- Regular seasoning enhances performance over time
Important Note We do not offer warranty coverage for clay pot cracking as this is a natural characteristic of the material. However, the robust construction with reinforcement rings ensures the clay pot remains functional for years of commercial use.
