Please check the photos for the peeling of the black soil on the surface and signs of use. The back side is in good condition, I think. I used it for cooking rice and stewed dishes. I could cook 3 cups of rice in it. ◎Instant purchase OK Thank you very much! The following is an excerpt from the product description on the internet: This cocotte with a dull luster is a stew pot made of black ceramic that looks like cast iron at first glance. The casual design has very clever details. It uses heat-resistant soil from Zimbabwe. It is heat-resistant, so it is OK for direct fire and microwave ovens.
