FAQs
Is this casserole dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is recommended to maintain the exterior gilding finish and ensure the long-term durability of the enamel.
Can I use this on an induction stovetop?
Yes, the heavy-duty base is compatible with most modern induction cooktops.
What is the maximum oven temperature?
The casserole is safe for most standard oven temperatures used in home cooking, but check your manual for specific heat limitations.
Does the enamel coating contain lead?
COOKER KING adheres to safety standards for kitchenware; the enamel is food-grade and non-reactive.
How do I handle the lid safely?
Always use oven mitts or thick towels, as the knob and lid will become hot during cooking.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the bottom
Ensure you are using enough oil or liquid, and use lower heat settings. If burnt, soak in warm soapy water for 30 minutes before cleaning.
Discoloration on the interior
Gently scrub with a baking soda paste or a specialized enamel cleaner to remove stains from acidic foods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using the casserole for the first time, wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water and dry it completely. While compatible with most stovetops, avoid sliding the pot across glass or ceramic surfaces to prevent scratching. Always use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to maintain the integrity of the enamel coating. To clean, allow the pot to cool naturally—never plunge a hot pot into cold water, as this can cause the enamel to crack. Hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the luster of the gilding finish, and you should avoid abrasive scouring pads that might dull the surface.
