Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your Dutch oven for the first time, wash it in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. While the enamel finish is durable, avoid using metal utensils that could scratch or chip the surface; silicone or wooden tools are recommended.
Compatibility is broad, as this pot can be used on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops, as well as in the oven. To ensure the longevity of your pot, avoid thermal shock—never place a scorching hot pot directly into cold water or onto a cold surface. Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the enamel, even if the manufacturer suggests dishwasher compatibility. Always allow the pot to cool completely before attempting to clean it to prevent cracking.
