Care
- Before first use: Enjoy unboxing your new purchase, and make sure to remove the labels and packaging. Wash your Le Creuset product in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Cooking: Always use oven gloves when handling anything hot. When using under the grill, always allow at least a 6.5cm (2 1/2 inch) gap between the heat source and the top of your product. Don't put a frozen dish of food in a preheated oven, instead place it in a cold oven, set the temperature and allow the two to heat up together, and always check food is piping hot throughout before serving. If you want to heat a dish that's currently at room temperature, don't preheat your oven above 205℃ (400℉). If you're adding liquid to a dish in the oven, take the dish out and allow it to cool for a few minutes first.
- Cleaning: Wait for your product to cool down before you start cleaning it. Wipe any leftovers off the base and sides, and if there's food stuck on, fill with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing as usual. Wash and dry by hand, or pop it in the dishwasher for a full cycle.
