Staub Oval Cast Iron Cocotte, White Truffle

Use Directions:

• Before using the cocotte for the first time rinse it with hot water and let it dry.
• Brush a little vegetable oil over the inside surfaces, heat it for one minute and then remove the excess oil with kitchen paper.
• Although cast iron is known to sustain very high temperatures, we recommend you gradually increase the heat from low to medium to high in order to avoid thermal shocks and damage of the surface of the cast iron.
• Select a stovetop that appropriately corresponds to the base size of your cocotte.
• When using induction stovetops and glass-ceramic surfaces, always lift your cocotte rather than pushing it, to avoid damages to the cooking surface.
• Use silicone or wooden cooking utensils to avoid scratching the enameled surface of the cocotte.
• The cocotte can be used as ovenware.
• The cocotte is not suitable for microwave use.

• Never put a hot cocotte on an unprotected surface.
• Allow the cocotte to cool before rinsing it with water.
• If food residues have stuck to the cocotte, do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents, scouring powder or steel sponges to remove them. Instead, soak the cocotte in warm water and then remove the residues with a wash-up liquid and non-scouring sponge.
• Dry the cocotte thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel and only store it away when it is completely dry.
• Though the cocotte can be washed in a dishwasher, it is recommended that you clean it by hand for long-lasting and durable use.
