Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the base of the dish
Ensure the dish is lightly greased or floured before adding pastry or batter, especially when working with high-sugar fillings.
Stains appearing on the surface
Soak the dish in warm, soapy water for 15 minutes, then use a non-abrasive plastic brush to gently remove residues.
Dish appears dull after frequent dishwasher use
Switch to a gentler dishwasher cycle or hand wash to prevent the detergent from clouding the high-gloss enamel surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Le Creuset stoneware remains in peak condition, avoid extreme temperature fluctuations; allow the dish to reach room temperature before moving it from a freezer to a preheated oven to prevent thermal shock. Always use oven mitts when removing the dish from the oven, as the stoneware retains significant heat for an extended period. For daily maintenance, the dish is fully dishwasher safe, though hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to preserve the luster of the enamel over time. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads that may dull the finish.
