FAQs

Can the lid go into the oven?

Yes, the entire stoneware assembly, including the lid, is oven-safe.

Is the gold knob oven-safe?

Yes, the decorative gold knob is designed to withstand standard oven temperatures used for baking.

Does this require seasoning like cast iron?

No, the stoneware is finished with an enamel glaze and does not require any seasoning.

Can I use this on a stovetop?

What is the maximum oven temperature?

The stoneware is safe for use in ovens up to 260°C (500°F).

Is it safe for freezer-to-oven use?

It is not recommended. Rapid temperature changes can cause the stoneware to crack. Always allow the dish to reach room temperature before heating.

Troubleshooting

Stubborn food residue stuck on the bottom

Fill the cocotte with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 15 minutes before gently cleaning with a non-abrasive sponge.

Gold knob shows minor water spots

Gently wipe the knob with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to restore its polished shine.

External staining after high-heat baking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Mini Cocotte lasts, follow these guidelines:

Initial Cleaning: Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge before first use.
Thermal Shock: Avoid extreme temperature changes. Do not transfer directly from the freezer to a hot oven.
Microwave Use: The cocotte is microwave safe; ensure food is distributed evenly to avoid localized overheating.
Dishwasher Safety: While dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the luster of the gold knob and exterior glaze over time.
Tool Usage: Use silicone or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the interior glaze surface.
