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.
