How to use

Preheat the oven or stovetop to the desired temperature before placing food in the roasting pan to ensure even cooking. Lightly coat the internal surface with oil or use a small amount of fat to reduce sticking when roasting meats or vegetables. For best results with large cuts, sear on the stovetop first to develop color, then transfer to the oven to finish cooking evenly. Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when handling the pan, as the cast iron retains heat for an extended period.

Recommendations

Use moderate oven temperatures for prolonged braising and higher temperatures for final browning. Avoid sudden temperature shocks such as placing a hot pan under cold water. Clean with warm water and a soft brush; avoid harsh detergents or metal scouring that can damage the enamel. Dry thoroughly and store in a dry place to maintain the enamelled finish.
