Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Living and Home Dutch oven, follow these guidelines:
- Compatibility: Safe for use on gas, induction, and electric hobs. Always ensure the pot size matches your burner diameter for even heating.
- Temperature Control: Avoid sudden temperature changes (thermal shock), such as placing a cold pot onto a high-heat burner or cold water into a scorching hot pot, as this can crack the enamel.
- Cleaning: While the interior is non-stick, it is recommended to wash by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the enamel finish.
- Storage: Dry thoroughly after washing and store in a cool, dry place. If stacking, place a cloth or protective mat between pots to prevent chipping.
