Cast iron fry pans distribute heat evenly for better cooking results and retain heat effectively while requiring only low to medium cooking temperatures. This is ideal for frying meat, seafood or fish. The wooden handle makes it easier to cook as the wood does not get hot when cooking on the stovetop. Note, however, cast iron cookware with wooden handles is not oven or dishwasher safe. This product is made in France. It provides all the benefits of cooking with cast iron including compatibility with the use of induction and other cooktops.

Use and care:

• To prevent food from burning and sticking to the pan, ensure that only low to medium heat is used. Never use the high heat setting.
• Never use the booster setting on the induction stove. Make sure that the pan is heated well before putting food in.
• Do not heat empty-put a little oil or lightly smear the pan with greased absorbent paper before cooking.
• We advise against routinely putting enameled cast iron cookware in the dishwasher. These machines use specific cleaning products that can tarnish and damage the enamel. Avoid the dishwasher completely for items with wooden handles.
• Avoid drops and knocks, especially on the edges of the product, to keep it free of chips and in tip-top shape.
• Do not use metal scrapers or other metal utensils.
• Do not cut up food inside your pot, pan or dish, or you may damage the enamel.
• Dry the cookware completely after washing it before storing it away. If, despite this, some rust patches should appear-which is not dangerous-rub a little cooking fat on the affected spots. For cookware with black matte, enamel-you might see white spots after use, caused by minerals from water or starch from food.
• Follow the same instructions for drying and putting a layer of oil on the matte black enamel.
