Ergonomic knobs and handles are designed for easy lifting and handling. The stainless steel knob is safe for use at any oven temperature. The oven is compatible with all cooktops and oven-safe up to 500°F. It is also safe for use in the dishwasher and with metal utensils.
When using the Le Creuset Dutch oven on the stovetop, it's important to ensure that the gas flames are confined to the base area and never extend around the sidewalls of the pan. This will help to maintain the oven's exceptional performance and longevity.
In summary, the Le Creuset Dutch oven is a versatile and indispensable kitchen essential, offering superior quality, performance, and durability. Whether you're a home cook or a professional chef, this iconic piece is sure to become a trusted and beloved addition to your culinary repertoire.
