SAFETY NOTE Attention! The Dutch Oven gets very hot on all parts during use. To avoid burns, only lift the lid with heat-resistant gloves or a spe- cial lid lifter. Never touch or carry the pot during use without heat protection. Always place the Dutch Oven on a suitable, heat-resis- tant surface and do not quench it with cold water. Before first use Before using the pot for the first time, be sure to rinse it thoroughly with hot water. Do not use washing-up liquid or other cleaning agents! A light protective layer is already in place for transport and interim storage so that it is ready for use immediately on arrival. However, we still recommend that you bake it before using it for the first time to create a thicker patina as a basis for long-term use and to protect it from rust stains in the long term. Baking the Dutch Oven - how it works Completely grease the pot and the lid from the inside and outside - either with a special care paste, neutral oil or vegetable fat. For example, coconut oil, sunflower or rapeseed oil, but also all other high-temperature resistant fats are suitable - olive oil, however, is unsuitable.GB

It is important that the baking takes place in a closed cooking space. Therefore, make sure that the oven or gas grill has reached the appropriate temperature of approx. 230 - 250 degrees and, in the best case, place the pot and lid next to each other on the rack. Now it is time to wait. The oil must now slowly evaporate. The cast iron is quite coarse-pored, so the oil can penetrate the coarse pores and seal the cast iron. After about 15-20 minutes, all the oil should have evaporated. Residues can be removed with a paper towel. Then oil the pot again and put it in the oven for another 10- 15 minutes. After cooling, it is crucial that a light film of oil remains on the surface. The oil that has soaked into the pores now acts as a natural protective layer (the so-called patina). In the near future, the Dutch Oven should no longer rust and can be used without worry. If the patina has been damaged after repeated use and rust spots have formed, the stoving process can also be repeated. Treatment of rust stains In the case of rust stains, these should first be removed with a wire brush and then the pot should be thoroughly cleaned with warm and clear water and dried well. Now the baking of the patina must be done again.10 How do I clean my Dutch Oven? Because it is made of cast iron, a Dutch oven requires thorough cleaning after each use. With proper attention and care, the pot will allow for great ease of use even after many years. After use, the pot must be completely cooled down. Only warm water is needed for cleaning. It is essential to add water only after the pot has cooled down, otherwise thermal shock may occur and the material may warp or, in the worst case, crack. In addition, never use washing-up liquid or put the pot in the dishwasher - this is extremely important, as otherwise the fat is removed from the pot and the previously built-up patina is destroyed, which in turn leads to rust. To scrub off food residues, use a standard dishwashing sponge or a brush. Now just dry the pot with a kitchen towel or a lint-free tea towel and then seal the cast iron again with a light layer of oil. That is all that is needed for cleaning. Any remaining germs will die off during the next cooking process at the latest, as the pot is always well preheated before use. Properly storing the Dutch Oven The pot should always be stored in a place that is as dry as possib- le. To absorb any moisture, kitchen paper can be placed in the pot. It is also advisable to place a piece of kitchen paper or cardboard folded several times between the lid and the pot - this allows the air to circulate well.GB
