English Care and use
4
Knives, or utensils with sharp
edges, should never be used to cut
foods on the non-stick surface.
Hand-held electric or battery operated
beaters or blenders should not be used
on the non-stick surface.
Oven use
The maximum oven temperature
for use is 260°C/500°F
(220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7) if the pan
is used with a Le Creuset Toughened
Non-Stick heat-resistant glass lid)
Grill use
When used under a hot grill there
should be a minimum distance of
5cm (2 inches) between the heat
source and the top rim of the pan.
Handles
Always use a dry oven glove or cloth
when handling a hot pan during and
after cooking.
Cleaning and storing
your pan
Cool the pan for a few minutes
before cleaning. Do not plunge into, or
fill with, cold water when hot.
ONLY recommended non-stick
cleaning pads should be used on the
non-stick surfaces. DO NOT use any
metal, harsh abrasive or very stiff
pads/washing up brushes, or abrasive
cleaning agents on ANY of the
surfaces.
The tough, reinforced non-stick
coating offers excellent food release
and is therefore very easy to clean. To
maintain the appearance and
performance of the non-stick coating,
we recommend washing by hand in hot
soapy water rather than cleaning in
the dishwasher. This will prolong the
life of the non-stick surface and
enhance cooking performance.
If the non-stick pan is cleaned in the
dishwasher:
1) use only domestic strength
dishwashing detergent (we recommend
non-lemon varieties)
2) the cooking surface should be re-
conditioned with vegetable or corn oil
before each subsequent use
Please note, prolonged, regular
dishwashing may eventually mark or
discolour any item of cookware and
affect the release properties of non-
stick surfaces. This is regarded as
normal wear and tear and is not
covered by the Lifetime Guarantee.
If the pan is regularly washed in the
dishwasher some darkening of the
outer ring of the base may occur or a
powdery white deposit may form. This
is normal and will not affect the
performance of the pan.
The surface dulling or white
deposits can be removed by carefully
cleaning the affected areas with a
gentle nylon pad and a little water and
washing up detergent. Afterwards rinse
and dry thoroughly.
Le Creuset heat-resistant
glass lids
Add another dimension to cooking with
your Le Creuset Toughened
Non-Stick pan by using a Le Creuset
heat-resistant glass lid – available
separately.
The see-through glass lid allows you to
check the recipe without
disturbing the cooking progress or
temperature. It retains moisture and
Care and use English
flavour and also acts as a self-baster,
or converts the pan to one for
poaching, braising or casseroling.
The lids are oven-safe up to 220°c /
425°f / Gas mark 7.
Mis-use of the
non-stick surface
The Le Creuset Lifetime Guarantee
does not cover damage to the
non-stick surface caused by
overheating or scratching.
Overheating
Damage from overheating during
cooking is instantly recognisable.
The non-stick surface becomes
discoloured and in severe cases
detaches from the pan in the form
of blistering or peeling.
Scratching
Score marks or severe scratching
caused by heavy use of metal tools is
not covered by the guarantee. Such
damage is permanent and will result in
a reduction of the non-stick release
performance.
