Before First Use

• Remove all packaging materials, clips, labels, and stickers
• Wash the cookware in warm, soapy water
• Rinse and dry thoroughly

Heat Recommendations

• Don’t use non-stick ceramic cookware in microwave ovens or on outdoor grills, open fires, or pizza ovens
• Always cook with low to medium heat — allow the pan to heat and cool gradually
• Don’t use the highest heat setting for preheating or cooking, as it can damage the non-stick surface
• On induction stovetops, only use the boost function briefly for heating large quantities of liquid
• Always use a burner size that matches the base of the pan — for gas stoves, ensure the flames stay under the pan
• Don’t slide the pan on glass stovetops — lift it to avoid scratches
• Always use handles, lids, or knobs to move the cookware, and be cautious as they can become hot — use oven mitts or a dry cloth
• Don’t leave hot cookware on unprotected surfaces; always use a heat-resistant pad
• Maximum oven temperatures: 280°C without the glass lid, and 220°C with the lid — keep at least 5cm of distance between the pan and the broiler

Oils & Fats

• Add a small amount of oil or fat to the cooking surface before heating — don’t allow the oil to smoke
• For fat-free cooking, preheat the pan on medium heat for 2 minutes before adding food
• Don’t leave the pan unattended or allow it to overheat
• Avoid cooking foods with low smoke points at high temperatures, as they may stain the non-stick surface

Food Storage and Marinating

• Don't store raw, marinating, or cooked foods in the cookware, as it may damage the non-stick coating

Cooking Utensils

• Use silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant utensils
• Metal utensils can be used carefully, but don’t scrape the non-stick surface
• Don't knock metal utensils against the rim, or use sharp tools like knives or beaters on the surface

Cleaning and Care

• Allow the cookware to cool to room temperature before cleaning
• Don’t pour cold water into a hot pan to prevent warping
• Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive sponge
• For tough residue, soak the pan in warm soapy water before cleaning
• Don’t use metal scouring pads or harsh abrasives
• Condition the non-stick surface occasionally by applying a thin layer of oil — rinse and dry before the next use
• Don't condition the black exterior

All categories of Le Creuset non-stick ceramic products carry a 10-year replacement/repair guarantee from manufacturing defects/flaws. The guarantee does not cover damage due to overheating, scraping and chipping through mishandling and improper use.
