Thank you for viewing. I've only used this a few times and then stored it away. It's a direct-flame type, so there's some scorching on the bottom. It's also a tagine pot that can be used in the microwave. I'm selling it as I no longer use it since I switched to an IH stove, and I'm decluttering. Heat-resistant pink and black tagine pot, made in Japan, microwave-safe. - Model Name: Daikoku Tagine Pot - Country of Manufacture: Japan - Color: Pink and Black - Features: Heat-resistant, microwave-safe Thank you for viewing.
