Tramontina 1398135 Use And Care Instructions

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

USING YOUR ENAMELED CAST IRON COOKWARE

• After removing your cookware from the packaging, discard the plastic clips. These clips protect the cookware
vessel and lid from damage during transportation.
• Hand-wash the cookware with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Although the enamel coating on your cookware does not require seasoning, we recommend seasoning the
vessel rim and lid rim where the cast iron is exposed. Season by lightly rubbing cooking oil onto surface. Heat
cookware in oven for one hour at 350°F (176°C). Cookware is ready to use once cool.
• Avoid knocking utensils on the cookware or cutting food directly within the cookware, as this may permanently
damage the enamel surface.
• We recommend using silicone, nylon, bamboo or wood utensils. Using metal utensils or sharp objects on any
surface may damage the cooking surface over time.
• The enamel surfaces are not suitable for dry cooking. Add a liquid, butter or oil to the bottom of the cookware
prior to heating.
• A gradual low-to-medium heat setting yields the most even and best results for most cooking tasks, including
frying and searing, and the use of high heat is not necessary. Once the cookware is hot, nearly all cooking tasks
can be completed with lower heat settings, making the use of high heat unnecessary. In fact, use of high heat
can permanently discolor and damage the cookware.
• When using cookware on ceramic glass stovetops, always lift (do not slide) to move to avoid scratching the
cooktop.
• Keep cookware on burner only during necessary time for cooking or boiling. Do not overheat empty cookware
or allow gas flames to extend up sides of cookware and overheat handles.
• The cookware is oven-safe at temperatures up to 450°F (232°C). Even though integral handles and the lid knob
are oven-safe, they will get hot in the oven and on the stovetop, particularly gas stoves where an open flame
is used. Therefore, use protective mitts when handling hot cookware.

CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR ENAMELED CAST IRON COOKWARE

• Enameled cast iron is extremely durable but may become damaged if accidentally dropped or knocked
against another hard surface.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes such as immersing hot cookware in cold water. Always let cookware cool
before washing. Do not fill or submerge hot cookware in cold water as thermal shock damage to the enamel
may result.
