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 on low setting for 2 - 3 minutes then add oil or liquid to the pan.
• Use only wooden, plastic, silicone or heat resistant nylon tools, to avoid scratching the enamel.
• Use a potholder or oven glove to lift metal handled pan from the stovetop or oven.
• Stand hot pan on a Le Creuset trivet, board or cloth, not directly on unprotected counter tops.
• When using pan on ceramic or halogen stovetops, always lift pan (do not slide) to move.
• If a pan is banged against a hard surface or is dropped, it may chip or break.
• Safe for oven or broiler use up to 400 F (do not put knob under broiler).
• To maintain the beauty of your pan's finish, hand-washing is recommended in warm sudsy water with a nylon brush or pad.
• Cool pan before washing in dishwasher or in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not leave to drain or put away while still damp.
• Remove stubborn food residues with a plastic or sponge scourer only - do not use metal scourers or abrasive cleaners of any kind.
