FAQs

Is this braiser induction compatible?

Can I use metal utensils with this braiser?

It is recommended to use wood, silicone, or nylon utensils to protect the non-stick surface and enamel coating from scratches.

Is the lid also oven-safe?

Yes, both the braiser and its lid are oven-safe.

How do I clean the self-basting lid?

Can this braiser be used for deep frying?

While it has excellent heat retention, it is primarily designed for braising, slow cooking, and searing, not deep frying. Ensure appropriate oil levels are maintained if searing at high temperatures.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty details, as these can vary.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure adequate preheating and sufficient cooking fat (oil or butter) were used. Clean the braiser thoroughly after each use to maintain the non-stick properties.

Enamel chipping or cracking

Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot braiser in cold water). Use wood or silicone utensils, not metal, to prevent scratching. Handle with care during washing and storage.

Uneven cooking

Ensure the stovetop burner is appropriately sized for the braiser base. Allow the braiser to preheat fully before adding food for even heat distribution.

Stains on the interior

For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stained area, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
