Cooking with cast iron

Enameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable. Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or high-temperature searing.

Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat settings in stove-top and oven cooking. On the table, a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings.

Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation.

Heat recommendations

Le Creuset cast iron cookware can be used on all heat sources including gas, electric solid plate or radiant ring, vitro-ceramic glass, induction, and ovens fired by gas, oil, coal or wood. When using any glass-topped stove, always lift the pan when moving it; never slide it, as this may damage the stove-top or the base of the pan.

Always match the pan’s base size to the stove-top heat zone to maximize efficiency, and to prevent overheating of the pan sides or damage to the handles.

Gas flames must always be confined to the base area, and must never extend around the sidewalls of the pan. Long handles should be positioned safely where they do not hang over the front of the stove or other heat zones.

Cleaning and Care

Always cool a hot pan for a few minutes before washing.

Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water. While Le Creuset’s enamel is designed to be the most durable on the market, thermal shock may still occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel.

If there are food residues, fill the pan with warm water and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing. A brush can be useful for removing small food deposits, or for cleaning between the ribs on grills. Do not use scourers or abrasive cleaners on the cooking surface. Nylon or soft abrasive pads or brushes can be used to remove stubborn residues.

To avoid damaging the enamel, do not use metallic pads or harsh abrasive cleaning agents.

Light stains or metal marks caused by metal tools can be removed with Le Creuset cookware cleaner. An occasional cleaning with this product will also retain the new appearance of your pans.

Never store pans while they are still damp. Store pans in a dry cupboard or airy space away from steam.

I wanted a Le Creuset Dutch oven for years and finally made it happen. Part of me considered being a cheapskate and getting a $100 Dutch oven, but I decided I had to go with Le Creuset or nothing, and got the 5.5 quart version. I'm glad I made that decision. I only use this for my wife and me, but we have hearty appetites and like leftovers, so the 5.5 quart is not too big for us. The size is good for a whole chicken, 5 lb. pork shoulder, or beef roast.I've used my Dutch oven almost 10 times now for baking bread, making stews and curries, roasting pork shoulder and whole chicken, and frying food. My pictures are after those 10ish uses. The enamel cleans off really easily (might take a little soaking first), and the Dutch oven is holding up well. I've been babying my Dutch oven by cleaning it after it cools and storing it in its box after each use.The Le Creuset is nice and heavy, and holds heat really well. I now know why Le Creuset demands a premium price. If you're deciding between this and a cheaper model, spend the extra money.
