Use & Care Instructions

The use and care information applies to Tramontina enameled cast-iron cookware with an

off-white or matte black interior  nish.

Using Your Enameled Cast-Iron Cookware

• Before using your cookware for the  rst time, hand-wash with warm soapy water 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) and let cool. Cookware is ready to use. The cast-iron grill pan and skillets are coated

with an interior matte black porcelain enamel; therefore, it is only necessary to season the

rim on these items.

• Avoid knocking utensils on the cookware rims or cutting food directly within the cookware,

as this may permanently damage the enamel surface.

• We recommend using only silicone, nylon, bamboo or wood utensils. Using metal utensils

or sharp objects on any surface may damage the cooking surface over time and void the

warranty.

• 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

hot, nearly all cooking tasks can be completed with lower settings. In fact, use of high

heat can permanently discolor and damage the cookware and void the warranty.

• 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  ames 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 lid knobs are oven-safe, they will get hot in oven and on stovetop, particularly

gas stoves where an open  ame is used. Therefore, please use protective mitts to safely

handle 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  ll or submerge a hot pan in cold water as thermal

shock damage to the enamel may result.

• HAND-WASH ONLY: We recommend hand-washing and drying your cookware to preserve

the original  nish.

• For hard-to-clean, stuck-on foods, soak cookware

in hot, soapy water and re-season as

directed.

• Use only nylon or soft abrasive pads or brushes to remove stubborn residues. Do not use metallic pads or harsh abrasive chemicals, as these will damage the enamel. • Be careful when stacking or nesting your cookware. Although it won’t affect the cookware’s performance, bumping or knocking against other pieces will scratch or chip the exterior and interior surfaces. • Never store your cookware when it is still damp.
