I just bought some clay/mud pottery. Better know as barro in Mexican. Do I need to do anything special before using them on the stove top to prevent them from breaking or damaging?

Welcome to the Forum. The right term, for future reference, is "ollas". - Gekkosan, Dec 3, 2011

Before you season this pottery for cooking you need to understand that most of the pottery that comes out of Mexico has a very high lead content and is super toxic, if it is not labeled lead free, use it for for decorative purposes only. To season, fill with water to the rim and bring to a boil for five minutes, let cool a empty,your ready to cook.

This is new to me and so interesting. Maybe I'll have to go to Mexico and see for myself.
