After use, Dutch Pots are typically cleaned with boiling water and a brush (no soap). Once dry, they should then be given a thin coating of cooking oil to prevent rusting. Mustard oilprovides a high-temperature resistance, but vegetable oil is also commonly used. Dutch Pots should be stored in a clean, dry location with the lid ajar or off to promote air circulation. If stored with the lid on, a paper towel should be placed inside to absorb any moisture.
