Don't go above Medium High heat and be sure the interior has the glaze.
These original Chinese clay pots are so affordable that some restaurants include them in take-out orders and throw them out instead of washing them after serving them at the table to customers. However, the last time, I received such a take-out order, I noticed that the interior was NOT glazed so beware of lazy counterfeits of this Chinese original. I know many Chinese households that have only had one clay pot for decades and this is only possible if you don't crack the pot with too high heat. Just as with the Staub and Le Creuset versions, the Chinese clay pot is not supposed to be used over high heat. These pots are lighter weight so if you want to make a rice casserole like stone pot bibimbap, you can definitely go with the Chinese original cookware over the heavier but much more durable iron versions and still achieve the toasted not burnt rice on the bottom. I know some people who insist on using this pot otherwise clay pot casserole recipes just wouldn't taste right.
broken after first use
i bought the item as a gift for my parents, but it cracked and broken after first use, very disappointing.
Cheap looking pot_don't buy
I just got the medium sized clay pot. It does not look like the one in the picture at all! The surface of the pot was so rough (both inside and outside) that it looks like a pot you would use for plants. And honestly, i would not even use it to plant flowers because it looked so cheap and ugly.
I got this from MV Trading. I wonder if the seller is making counterfeit products. Definitely a total disappointment.
