Operating and care instructions
Please read the following instructions carefully before first use
and follow all information given.
SAFETY NOTE
Attention! The Dutch Oven gets very hot on all parts during use.
To avoid burns, only lift the lid with heat-resistant gloves or a spe-
cial lid lifter. Never touch or carry the pot during use without heat
protection. Always place the Dutch Oven on a suitable, heat-resis-
tant surface and do not quench it with cold water.
Before first use
Before using the pot for the first time, be sure to rinse it thoroughly
with hot water. Do not use washing-up liquid or other cleaning
agents! A light protective layer is already in place for transport and
interim storage so that it is ready for use immediately on arrival.
However, we still recommend that you bake it before using it for
the first time to create a thicker patina as a basis for long-term use
and to protect it from rust stains in the long term.
Baking the Dutch Oven - how it works
Completely grease the pot and the lid from the inside and outside
- either with a special care paste, neutral oil or vegetable fat. For
example, coconut oil, sunflower or rapeseed oil, but also all other
high-temperature resistant fats are suitable - olive oil, however, is
unsuitable.
