Le Creuset Stoneware Mug - Cool Mint

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Getting started with your Le Creuset Stoneware Mug is simple, and maintaining its pristine condition is straightforward.

Initial Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove your mug from its packaging.
2. First Wash: Before first use, wash the mug with warm, soapy water or place it in the dishwasher to remove any manufacturing residues.

Compatibility

Your Le Creuset Stoneware Mug is highly versatile and compatible with:

• Oven: Safe up to 260°C / 500°F (Info needed: specific max temperature if different from standard Le Creuset stoneware, otherwise use this as a general guideline).
• Grill: Yes, suitable for use under the grill.
• Microwave: Yes, perfect for reheating or cooking small portions.
• Dishwasher: Yes, for easy and thorough cleaning.
• Freezer: While not explicitly stated for this mug, Le Creuset stoneware generally handles freezer temperatures, making it suitable for pre-prepared desserts. (Info needed: confirm freezer safety if not generally applicable).

Care and Maintenance

• Daily Cleaning: Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge, or simply place it in the dishwasher. The non-porous enamel prevents food odors and flavors from clinging.
• Stubborn Residues: For baked-on food or stubborn stains, fill the mug with warm water and a little dish soap, let it soak for 15-20 minutes, then clean. The scratch-resistant enamel ensures durability.
• Avoid Thermal Shock: While highly durable, avoid extreme temperature changes, such as moving directly from a very hot oven to a very cold surface, to prevent potential damage to any ceramic item.
• Storage: Store in a cabinet or on a mug rack, taking care to prevent accidental drops that could cause chipping, though the stoneware is robust.
