FAQs

Are these bowls truly non-stick?

The glazed surface is virtually nonstick, making clean-up easier. However, it is not a true non-stick coating like that found on frying pans. A light application of oil or butter may still be beneficial for certain ingredients.

Can I use these bowls in the dishwasher?

Yes, these bowls are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the integrity and luster of the glaze over time.

What materials are the bowls made from?

The bowls are made from high-fired stoneware, known for its durability and excellent heat retention.

What is the temperature range for these bowls?

They are designed to withstand temperatures from -9°F to 500°F (-23°C to 260°C), making them suitable for freezer, microwave, and oven use.

Can I use metal utensils with these bowls?

While the glaze is scratch-resistant, it is best to use non-metal utensils (wood, silicone, plastic) to prevent any potential scratching or damage to the surface over prolonged use.

What does 'non-reactive' mean in the product description?

'Non-reactive' means the glaze will not interact with acidic or alkaline foods, preventing any metallic taste or unwanted chemical reactions that could affect the flavor of your ingredients.

How many bowls are included in this set?

This set includes six pinch bowls, each in a different pastel color.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration or Stains

Soak the bowl in warm water with a mild dish soap and a bit of baking soda. Gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid harsh scouring pads.

Chipping or Cracking

Inspect bowls regularly. Minor chips or cracks may render them unsafe for food use. Contact Le Creuset customer service if the damage is due to a manufacturing defect.

Food Sticking to the Surface

Ensure the glazed surface is clean. For very sticky ingredients, a light spray of cooking oil before adding can help. Wash immediately after use for easiest cleaning.

Care:
