How to use

Preheat the stovetop or oven to the required temperature. Use moderate heat when heating an empty cast iron pot to avoid thermal shock. Place ingredients in the cocotte, cover with the lid to retain moisture, and cook according to your recipe—braise, simmer or roast. For searing, heat the pot first, add oil and sear meats before adding liquids for braising. When finished, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before cleaning.

Usage recommendations

To protect the enamel surface, avoid using sharp metal utensils and sudden extreme temperature changes. Clean with warm water and a soft sponge; for stubborn residues, soak briefly in warm water. Dry thoroughly before storing.
