Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, rinse the dish with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly. To maintain the integrity of the enamel coating, avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads or steel wool. Although cast iron is highly durable, it should always be washed by hand to prevent the finish from dulling or chipping. Always allow the dish to cool down completely before submerging it in water to avoid potential enamel cracking due to rapid temperature changes. Store in a dry place and ensure the rim is wiped clean to prevent moisture buildup.
