Made in France Care and Use Dishwasher-safe pan and press; however, hand washing is recommended Cool before washing in dishwasher or in hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Do not leave to drain or put away while still damp. Remove stubborn food residues with a plastic or sponge scourer. Do not use metal scourers or abrasive cleaners Select low to medium heat for best results. Do not pre-heat pan on high then lower the heat. Cast-iron is a very efficient material and retains heat well. Select the size of your heat source so that it is as close as possible to the base size of your pan. This will prevent energy loss and overheating of the handle. Gently pre-heat on low setting for 2 - 3 minutes then add oil or liquid to pan. Use wooden, plastic, silicone or heat resistant nylon tools, to avoid scratching the enamel. When using pan on ceramic or halogen stovetops, always lift pan (do not slide) to move. If a pan is banged against a hard surface or is dropped, it may chip or break.
