FAQs

Does this pot need to be seasoned?

No, because the cast iron is coated in durable enamel, no seasoning is required.

Is this dishwasher safe?

While technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the finish and luster of the Sorbet Rose enamel.

Can I use this on an induction stove?

Yes, the cast iron base is fully compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic glass hobs.

What is the maximum oven temperature?

The cocotte is oven safe up to 250 °C.

Can I store food in this in the freezer?

Yes, it is freezer-safe down to -20 °C, though you should allow it to reach room temperature before placing it on a hot stovetop.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the bottom

Ensure you are using enough fat or liquid and maintain a medium or low heat setting, as cast iron retains heat well and does not require high temperatures.

Discoloration or residue on the interior

Soak the pot in warm soapy water for a few minutes or use a paste of baking soda and water to gently lift stubborn stains.

Enamel chip detected

If a chip occurs, ensure the surface is smooth so no flakes enter food, but note that it remains safe for cooking as long as the cast iron itself is not exposed to acidic liquids for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This pot arrives ready for immediate use. While the enamel is durable, it is best to use silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the interior finish. When cooking on a stovetop, gradually increase heat to avoid thermal shock, and always use oven mitts as the entire unit, including the lid handle, becomes extremely hot. To clean, wash by hand with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. While the enamel is durable, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scouring powders. Ensure the pot is completely dry before storing, and if stacking, place a protective cloth between this and other cookware to prevent scratching the Sorbet Rose finish.
