" ... Keep the lid/body spacers you'll want to have them handy when you are done, put them back on for storage to avoid damage to enamel surfaces. ... "
" ... I take care of them, I don't put them in the dishwasher, which is what causes the enamel to crack, I store them carefully, though I guess not too carefully as they are stacked together, and I don't wash them when they are still hot, but I don't let the food sit in them for extended periods either. ... It has a little more room than the 3 quart, making it perfect for two people. ... I make enough food for four people comfortably, five or six depending on portions. ... "
