This pot should be hard sealed, ultra hard and abrasion resistant, extremely robust and durable. In my opinion, you have a mouthful taken quite a bit. The pot was delivered on 1 February 2012, and is used almost daily. Now I wonder why the acclaimed hard sealing dissolves ??? What about your warranty?
