Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the bottom
Lightly grease the interior with butter or oil before cooking. If residue remains, soak the vessel in warm soapy water for 15 minutes before cleaning.
Minor scratch on the glaze

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Le Creuset Pumpkin Casserole remains in pristine condition:
- Oven Use: The stoneware is oven-safe up to 500°F. Always place the cold dish into a cold oven and allow them to heat up together to avoid thermal shock.
- Cleaning: While the product is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the luster of the glaze over time.
- Surface Safety: Although the base is glazed, it is recommended to use a trivet when placing the hot cocotte on delicate wooden or stone dining surfaces.
- Handling: Always use oven mitts when removing the piece from the oven, as the stoneware retains significant heat.
