Cooks Professional 5 Piece Cast Iron Casserole Dishes, Frying Pan & Skillet Set With Enamel Interior - Orange

No, this cast iron set is strictly hand wash only. Dishwashers can damage the enamel coating and cast iron.

It is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to protect the vitreous enamel interior from scratches.

The tight-fitting lids are designed with small bumps or channels on the underside. As steam rises from the food, it condenses on the lid and drips back down onto the food, keeping it moist and flavorful without needing to add extra liquid.

For stubborn residue, simmer a small amount of water in the cookware for a few minutes to loosen the food, then clean as usual. A paste of baking soda and water can also be effective for gentle scrubbing.

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

The weights vary by piece: 20cm Casserole (3.5kg), 26cm Casserole (6.1kg), 28cm Casserole (6kg), 26cm Skillet Pan (2.94kg), 26cm Frying Pan (2.94kg).

The vitreous enamel interior provides a smooth, non-reactive surface that is easy to clean and less prone to sticking than bare cast iron, especially when properly preheated and used with cooking fat. However, it is not a non-stick coating in the same way as modern synthetic non-stick pans.

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated and sufficient cooking fat (oil or butter) is used. Clean the enamel thoroughly after each use.

Avoid dropping the cookware or subjecting it to extreme temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pan in cold water). Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the surface.

This can occur with high-heat cooking or certain acidic foods. It is usually superficial. A paste of baking soda and water can sometimes help lift stains. Ensure thorough drying after washing.

Cast iron handles can get very hot during cooking, especially in the oven. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware.
