- In no case should you put dishes in a preheated oven. If you put the dish directly into the hot oven, the mold will crack. Cookware should only be placed in a cold oven. Especially if you are using a gas stove.
- After removing the finished dish from the mold, it must not be immediately soaked in water. It is necessary that the container has completely cooled down, only then it can be washed. If the mold does not have time to cool down to the end, then there is a high probability that cracks will appear from the temperature drop, and the dishes will be spoiled.
- After finishing cooking, do not rush to immediately remove the mold. Let the dish stand in the oven for about 10 minutes.
