Care and Use Instructions
• Select low to medium heat for best results.
• Select the size of your heat source so that it is as close as possible to the base size of your pan. This will prevent energy loss and overheating of the handle.
• Gently pre-heat utensil on low setting for 2 to 3 minutes then add oil or liquid to the pan.
• Use only wooden, plastic or heat resistant nylon tools, to avoid scratching the enamel.
• Use a potholder or oven glove to lift metal handled pans from the stovetop or oven.
• Stand hot pans on a Le Creuset trivet, board or cloth, not directly on unprotected counter tops.
• Cool pans before washing in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Remove stubborn food residues with a plastic or sponge scourer only - do not use metal scourers or abrasive cleaners of any kind.
• Handles and knobs may become loose over a period of time. Check them once in a while and tighten as needed.
• The Le Creuset base is hard-wearing, with a very smooth enameled finish applied to each piece. The smooth finish gives excellent heat diffusion and is easy to keep clean. This special base also makes each piece suitable for all heat sources and all glass-topped stovetops, such as ceramic, halogen, and induction. To maintain the appearance of the base, always "lift" it on and off any stovetop or burner. Do not drag the pan's base across the surface
