Oven Safe to 250 degrees celcius (for pots with stainless steel knobs) and 220 degrees celcius (for pots with black knobs). Never use the high heat setting. Make sure that the pan is heated well before putting food in. Never use the booster setting on induction stove. 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
