Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Rectangular Dish

No, this stoneware dish is not designed for stovetop use, broilers, or direct heat sources. It is intended for oven, microwave, and freezer use only.

Avoid placing a hot dish on a cold surface (like a wet counter) or immersing a hot dish in cold water. Always allow the dish to cool down gradually.

Yes, the dish is dishwasher safe. However, handwashing with mild detergent and a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the pristine finish of the glaze over time.

The dish is safe for oven use up to 450°F (230°C).

While the glaze is resistant to scratching, it is recommended to use silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to prolong the life of the finish and prevent any potential marks.

The 'Heritage' designation typically refers to Le Creuset's classic designs, which often feature iconic elements like the scalloped handles and the durable, dense stoneware construction known for its excellent thermal properties.

Ensure the dish is adequately preheated, use a small amount of cooking oil or butter, and allow cooked food to cool slightly before attempting to remove it.

For minor stains, try a paste of baking soda and water. Gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid harsh scouring pads which can damage the glaze.

Inspect the dish for damage. While Le Creuset stoneware is durable, significant chips or cracks may render it unsafe for use, especially in the oven. Contact Le Creuset customer service for warranty inquiries.
