To use this pickling pot, simply clean it thoroughly before your first use. You can then prepare your pickling brine and add your vegetables or fruits into the pot. Make sure to leave some space at the top to avoid spillage. Keep the pot in a cool, dry place during the pickling process. After use, wash it with mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers as they may damage the glaze. Store it in a safe place to prevent any chips or cracks.
