Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dutch oven remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Preheating: Always start on low to medium heat. Avoid placing a cold pot onto maximum heat, as this can cause the enamel to crack.
- Compatibility: Safe for use on gas, electric, induction, and ceramic hobs. It is also oven-safe for high-temperature roasting.
- Utensils: Use silicone, wood, or heat-resistant nylon tools. Avoid metal utensils which may scratch or damage the vitreous enamel coating.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Never use harsh abrasive scouring pads or steel wool.
- Storage: Dry thoroughly before storing. If stacking, place a paper towel or cloth between pots to prevent enamel-to-enamel scratching.
