Care
- Before first use: Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- While cooking: Always use oven gloves when handling anything hot. Use Le Creuset silicone, wood or heat-resistant plastic tools where possible. Metal utensils can be used with care but shouldn't be used harshly or scraped over the surface.
- Cleaning: Let it cool before cleaning. Wipe off any leftovers, and soak stuck-on food in warm soapy water for 15 to 20 minutes before washing. Avoid abrasive cleaners, metal scourers or stiff brushes. Dry well and store in a dry place.
- Microwave: Never use in a microwave. Cast iron products are made of metal and will damage the microwave and its electrical wiring.
- Open flame safety: Flames must be confined to the base area and never extend up around the sidewalls, which can cause burns and damage.
- Charcoal or wood fired grill use: Always place the product on a rack, never in direct contact with embers. Leave a minimum distance of 5cm between the rack and the embers.
