Never use the high heat setting. Never use the booster setting on induction stove. Make sure that the pan is heated well before putting food in. - Do not heat empty - put a little oil or lightly smear the cocotte with greased absorbent paper before cooking. These machines use specific cleaning products that can tarnish and damage the enamel. Avoid the dishwasher completely for items with wooden handles. - Avoid drops and knocks, especially on the edges of the product, to keep it free of chips and in tip-top shape. Do not use metal scrapers or other metal utensils. Do not cut up food inside your pot, pan or dish – or you may damage the enamel. - Dry the cookware completely after washing before storing it away. If, despite this, some rust patches should appear - which is not dangerous - rub a little cooking fat on the affected spots. For cookware with black matte enamel - you might see white spots after use, caused by minerals from water or starch from food. Follow the same instructions for drying and putting a layer of oil on the matte black enamel. - NEVER use the booster setting on induction stove - Serving Size GuideItemCapacityNumber of Servings Guide - Round French Oven 10cm350ml1Round French Oven 20cm2.5 Litre2 to 4Round French Oven 22cm3.2 Litre4Round French Oven 24cm4 Litre4 to 6Round French Oven 26cm5 Litre6Round French Oven 28cm6.1 Litre6 to 8Round French Oven 32cm8.8 Litre10Oval French Oven 27cm4 Litre4Low Round Casserole 30cm2.5 Litre2 to 4 (depending on dish)
