Use & Care

Use

• When using under broiler, ensure there is at least 2 1/2" between rim of cocotte and heat source.
• Do not use on stove or any other direct heat source.
• Cocotte is microwavable (lid is not). Handles may become hot during prolonged microwave use, especially if enclosed with plastic wrap. Cover open top of cocotte, leaving handles exposed.
• Use wood, plastic or heat-resistant nylon tools to avoid scratching enamel surface.
• Enamel can chip or crack if dropped or banged on hard surface.

• Before serving, always check that center of food is completely and uniformly hot.

Care
