FAQs

Can I use metal utensils with my La Cocotte?

It is recommended to use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the enamel surface. Metal utensils can damage the enamel over time.

Is the La Cocotte dishwasher safe?

While the La Cocotte can technically be washed in the dishwasher, hand washing is recommended to preserve the enamel and prolong the life of the cookware.

Can I use the La Cocotte on high heat?

While the La Cocotte can withstand high heat, it's best to avoid extreme temperatures, especially when empty. Start with medium heat and adjust as needed.

How do I remove stuck-on food?

Soak the La Cocotte in warm, soapy water for a while. Then, use a non-abrasive sponge or brush to gently scrub away the food. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Can I use the lid in the oven?

Yes, the lid is oven-safe up to the same temperature as the La Cocotte itself.

What should I do if my La Cocotte gets scorched?

Let the La Cocotte cool completely. Fill it with water and add a few tablespoons of baking soda. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop, then let it sit for a while before scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the bottom.

Ensure the La Cocotte is properly preheated before adding food. Use enough oil or fat to prevent sticking. Avoid high heat when cooking delicate foods.

Rust appears on the rim.

Scrub off the rust with steel wool, dry the area, and re-season with cooking oil. Make sure the rim is completely dry after each wash.

Enamel is chipped.

Avoid using metal utensils. If a chip occurs, stop using the La Cocotte and contact the manufacturer for advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Before first use, wash the La Cocotte with hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. While seasoning is not always required with enameled cast iron, you can apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the rim to prevent rust.

Compatibility

The La Cocotte is compatible with gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. It can also be used in the oven and under the grill. Ensure that the size is appropriate for your specific cooktop and oven.

Care

Cleaning: Allow the La Cocotte to cool completely before washing. Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch the enamel.
Storage: Dry the La Cocotte thoroughly before storing. Store it in a dry place. Avoid stacking other items on top to prevent chipping the enamel.
Rust Prevention: If rust appears (usually on the rim), scrub it off with steel wool, dry the area, and re-season with cooking oil. The enamel interior is rust-resistant, but the rim may require some care.
