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

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

We recommend using Le Creuset Silicone Tools or wooden/heat-resistant plastic tools. Metal utensils may be used with care but they should not be used harshly or scraped over the cooking surface as this may cause damage

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.

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.

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.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or metal, harsh abrasive or very stiff cleaning pads or brushes on any of the surfaces.

Dry well after washing and store in a dry place.

Casserole body: Casseroles with built-in cast iron and phenolic handles are dishwasher-safe. However, constant dishwashing may lead to dulling of the enamel finish.

Casserole lid: Lids with stainless steel and phenolic knobs are dishwasher-safe. Lids with gold, iridescent, copper and black nickel knobs should be hand-washed to maintain their finish.
