Freezer Compatible

Dishwasher Safe

• Enjoy unboxing your new purchase! (And make sure to remove the labels and packaging.)

• Wash your Le Creuset product in warm, soapy water; then rinse and dry thoroughly.

• When frying for the first time, add vegetable or corn oil so the base is covered. Then heat the oil gently, rotating the product to coat the inner side walls. Remove it from the heat, let it cool, then clean with paper towels.

• Stay protected – always use oven gloves when handling anything hot.

• Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob ring — it’ll make your food cook more evenly, and reduce the risk of damage to the handles and sides. This is especially important on induction hobs: if you use the wrong-sized ring, there’s a risk the hob won't ‘recognise’ the product.

• Cooking on a medium or low heat gets the best results — even for frying and searing. Let the product heat up gradually for great tasting food that’s cooked evenly. If you do need to use a higher heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached.

• For induction hob cooking, avoid using the ‘boost’ function as it should only be used for rapid heating large volumes of water.

• Never slide the product on any glass-topped hob/stove top, as this may cause damage to the product base and the glass. Instead, always lift the product on and off, or across the surface.

• If you're using salt, don't pour it directly onto the stainless steel surface. To avoid damage, add it to hot cooking liquid or food.

• When hot, rest it on a heat resistant surface.

• When using under the grill, always allow at least a 5 cm (2 inch) gap between the heat source and the top of your product.

• Wait for your product to cool down before you start cleaning it.

• Wipe any leftovers off the base and sides of the product. If there’s food stuck on, fill the product with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing as usual.
