Yes, the Flame ceramic is designed to withstand significant temperature changes. It is resistant to thermal shock, allowing you to transition from cold storage to high heat without the risk of cracking.
No, it is very low-maintenance. The pot is dishwasher safe, and the durable, colorfast glaze is designed to resist staining and fading even after repeated use.
