FAQs

Is this cast iron set dishwasher safe?

No, the Cooks Professional cast iron cookware set is not dishwasher safe. The enamel interior requires hand washing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge to maintain its integrity and prevent damage.

Can I use metal utensils with this cookware?

While the vitreous enamel interior is durable, it's recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to prevent scratching and prolong the life of the enamel coating. Metal utensils may cause cosmetic marks.

What is the maximum oven temperature for this set?

All pieces in this set are oven safe up to 260°C (500°F).

How do I clean burnt-on food?

For burnt-on food, fill the cookware with warm water and let it soak for several hours or overnight. Then, gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge and mild dish soap. Avoid harsh scouring pads or steel wool.

What are the dimensions and capacities of each piece?

The set includes: 20cm (2.8L) Casserole, 26cm (5.8L) Casserole, 28cm (4.3L) Shallow Casserole, 26cm Skillet Pan, and 26cm Frying Pan. External dimensions and weights are detailed in the product specifications.

Can I use this cookware on an induction hob?

Yes, this set is fully compatible with induction hobs, as well as electric, gas, ceramic, halogen, and solid fuel stovetops.

Does the enamel contain any harmful chemicals?

No, the vitreous enamel interior is free from PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE, ensuring a safe and non-toxic cooking surface.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the enamel interior.

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a moderate amount of cooking oil or butter. If residue remains after washing, soak the pan and gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge.

White spots or cloudiness on the enamel.

This is typically mineral buildup from water. Soak the affected area with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water for 15-30 minutes, then wash and rinse thoroughly.

Chipped enamel.

Minor chips can sometimes be managed if they do not expose the raw cast iron excessively. However, significant chips can compromise the non-reactive surface. Contact customer support for advice if the chip is large or affects cooking.

Uneven cooking.

Ensure the stovetop burner is appropriately sized for the cookware base and that the cookware is fully preheated before adding food. Cast iron retains heat well, so allow it to reach temperature gradually.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention and distribution for professional cooking results.

  • Non-reactive enamel interior is easy to clean and doesn't impart flavors.

Cons

  • Requires hand washing; not dishwasher safe.
  • Cast iron is heavy, requiring careful handling.
  • The enamel interior, while durable, can chip if subjected to harsh impacts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The cookware arrives ready for use. Ensure all packaging is removed before the first use.

Compatibility: This set is compatible with all common stovetop types, including:

  • Induction
  • Electric
  • Gas
  • Ceramic
  • Halogen

Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your cast iron set, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Always hand wash. Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. For stubborn residue, soak the item in warm water before gently scrubbing. Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the enamel.
  2. Drying: Thoroughly dry all pieces immediately after washing with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
  3. Storage: Store pieces with a protective layer between them (e.g., a cloth or paper towel) to avoid scratching the enamel surfaces, especially when stacking.
  4. Temperature: Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes, such as plunging a hot pan into cold water, which can cause thermal shock and potentially crack the enamel.
