Care 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 - 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.
• When using pans on ceramic or halogen stovetops, always lift them (do not slide) to move.
• If a pan is banged against a hard surface or is dropped, it may chip or break.
