Before Using for the First Time
• Remove all packaging and stickers from your Enameled Cast Iron Dutch
Oven. Using a mild dish soap and soft cloth, wash in warm water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Hand washing is always recommended
to keep your Cast Enamel Dutch Oven in the best condition.
Stovetop Use
• The Cast Enamel Dutch Oven is compatible with all stovetops: gas,
electric, ceramic and induction. Always heat your dutch oven gradually
using a low-medium heat setting. The cast iron construction provides
superior heat retention and so using a high heat setting is not needed.
To avoid dry heating and to protect the enamel surface, add oil, butter,
water or sauce to your dutch oven prior to heating.
CAUTION: Always use potholders to move your dutch oven or to grip the
side handles or lid knob as they will become hot during cooking.
Oven Use
• The Cast Enamel Dutch Oven is oven safe to 500 °F.
CAUTION: Always use potholders to move your dutch oven or to grip the
side handles or lid knob as they will become hot during cooking.
NOT intended for microwave use.
Cooking Utensils
• Silicone, wood, or heat resistant plastic cooking utensils are
recommended. Metal utensils are not recommended in order to avoid
scratching the enamel surface.
Cleaning & Storage
• Allow your dutch oven to cool before cleaning. Never place a hot dutch
oven in cold water as this may damage the enamel. A soft cloth, pad
or brush may be used to clean your dutch oven but avoid metal pads or
abrasive cleaners that may damage the enamel. Always dry thoroughly
before storing. Store in a dry place and avoid stacking or overcrowding.
