IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. The cast iron construction gives this product durability and a
wide range of uses for both preparing and cooking.
2. Before using your new cast iron cookware, wash it in warm
water with mild liquid soap. The cookware should be rinsed
and dried immediately. Do not air dry or store wet.
3. Your cast iron cookware is safe for use in the oven or on
a gas, electric, ceramic or induction stovetop. Although it
is safe for this cookware to be used on a ceramic, glass or
induction stovetops, it is strongly suggested that you refer to
your appliance manual to ensure the stovetop is compatible
with enameled cast iron cookware prior to use. Also, be sure
to always lift the cast iron cookware when moving to avoid
scratching your stovetop and damaging your cookware.
4. Note that the cast iron handles on the cookware will become
hot during stovetop or oven use. Oven mitts or hot pads
should be used when moving.
5. Always use plastic, wood or silicone utensils when stirring.
Metal utensils will scratch the surface.
6. Do not use mixers or hand-held blenders in any cookware
as this may cause permanent damage to the surface.
7. Do not cut food directly on the enamel surface of the
cookware.
8. Never use your cast iron cookware in the microwave, on
outdoor grills or campres.

USING YOUR COOKWARE
1. For best results, you should apply your choice of liquid
vegetable oil or butter to the inside base before you
begin heating. Do not overheat the cookware with or
without oil prior to cooking.
2. Medium and low heat settings will provide the best
results for most cooking, including frying or searing.
Always allow the pan to heat gradually as this will ensure
the most even and ecient cooking results.
3. High heat settings should only be used for boiling water
for pasta, vegetables or reducing sauces. Do not use high
heat to pre-heat a pan as this may cause the pan
to become overheated. This could result in poor cooking
results such as sticking or discoloration of the cooking
surface. Pre-heating with high heat could also cause
cracking of the enamel.
