Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gratin dish lasts, always warm it gradually to prevent thermal shock. When using on induction cooktops, ensure the pan is centered to avoid uneven heating. For cleaning, strictly avoid abrasive scrubbers or metal utensils that can damage the cream enamel surface; use wooden or silicone tools instead. The dish must be hand washed with mild detergent and warm water; avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as aggressive detergents can dull the enamel over time. Dry the dish thoroughly before storage to maintain the integrity of the cast iron rim.
