How do I prevent the enamel from chipping?
Avoid dropping the pot, refrain from using metal utensils, and do not subject the pot to rapid temperature changes like plunging it into cold water while hot.
Is the casserole dishwasher safe?
While it is technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the finish and prevent the enamel from dulling over time.
What is the primary material?
It is made of heavy-duty enameled cast iron, which is known for its durability and superior heat retention.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the bottom
Ensure the pot is properly preheated with a small amount of oil or fat before adding ingredients; lower the heat if the food is searing too quickly.
Enamel surface appears stained
Soak the pot in warm water with a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner or use a paste of baking soda and water to safely lift discoloration.
Knob feels loose
Check the screw on the underside of the lid and tighten with a standard screwdriver if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your BUYDEEM casserole for the first time, wash it in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. It is compatible with all stovetops; when using on induction cooktops, ensure the base diameter matches your burner size to optimize efficiency. To ensure the longevity of your cookware, avoid using metal utensils that might scratch the enamel finish. While the vessel is dishwasher safe, we highly recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent to maintain the integrity of the enamel. Avoid using high heat settings, as medium heat is sufficient for most cooking needs due to the excellent conductivity of the cast iron. Never plunge a hot pot into cold water, as the sudden temperature change can crack the enamel.
