Before the first use carefully hand wash the pot with soapy water, rinse and dry well. Never overheat an empty pan. First use by bringing water to the boil. Always fill the pot with liquid or fat before putting directly over the flame or heat source. You are advised to stir or mix with a wooden or plastic spoon rather than metal so as not to scratch the tin-lining. Because copper is highly conductive and anti-adhesive material it is unlikely that food will stick to the bottom of the pot ,nevertheless  if the inside of the pan gets burnt due to inattention immerse the pot in  warm soapy water and leave to soak for hours until the mark will come away easily. Never use abrasive or chlorine base substances.
