IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. The porcelain enamel coating on the inside and outside
of your cast iron cookware is very durable and gives the
cookware a wide range of uses for preparation and cooking.
2. Before using your new cast iron cookware, wash it in hot 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 stove top. Although it is safe for
this cookware to be used on a ceramic, glass or induction stove
tops, it is strongly suggested that you refer to your appliance
manual to ensure the stove top is compatible with enameled
cast iron cookware prior to use. Also, be sure to always lift
the cast iron cookware when moving these pieces to avoid
scratching your stove top and damaging your cookware.
4. Note that the integral cast handles on the cookware will
become hot during stove top or oven use. Oven mitts or hot
pads should be used when moving a hot pot.
5. Always use plastic, wood or silicone utensils when stirring.
Metal utensils will scratch the surface. Do not hit the rim of the
cookware with metal utensils as this will eventually damage
the cookware.
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 campfires.
