Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the bottom
Ensure you are using sufficient oil or fat and avoid using excessive heat levels during the cooking process.
Stubborn stains on the interior
Soak the interior in warm, soapy water for several hours or use a non-abrasive baking soda paste to gently lift stains.
Knob feels loose
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screw connecting the stainless steel knob to the lid, being careful not to overtighten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, wash the Dutch oven with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. While the pot is compatible with all stovetops, always lift the vessel rather than sliding it across glass or ceramic cooktops to avoid scratching the surface. Use silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to maintain the integrity of the enamel interior. After cooking, allow the pot to cool naturally before washing. While the unit is technically dishwasher safe, hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge is highly recommended to preserve the luster and lifespan of the exterior and interior enamel.
