How to use

Preheat the pan gradually to allow the cast iron to warm evenly. Use medium to low heat for delicate preparations and higher heat for searing small items; avoid sudden large temperature changes. For stovetop use, place the pan centrally on the burner to ensure uniform contact. The pan can be transferred to the oven for finishing or keeping dishes warm. Use utensils suitable for enamel surfaces to prevent abrasion.
