SC - Olla podrida -- A 13th century Hispano-Arabic version?

[Thomas Gloning]

Adamantius, putting horn in a dishwasher is NOT a good idea- hot water is
one of the methods used to soften it for shaping ;-) I've always been told
that the proper way to care for it is to wash it in warm, not hot, soapy
water, rince it, and immediately dry it and put it away. Don't delay in
washing it, either- it's porous and will stain easily. For regular
maintenance, wipe it with warm vegetable oil every few usages, or once a
year- that helps prevent it from drying out.
