Save this post if you received a new piece of #LeCreuset enameled cast iron over the holidays. 👨‍🍳 These are our best tips for using your new heirloom-quality cookware. More details are available at the link in our bio, too! - Cast iron items can be used on any stovetop (including glass and induction), and are oven-safe as well. - We recommend using wooden and/or silicone utensils, to avoid scratching the enameled surface. - When cooking on the stove, preheat the pan over low to medium heat for no more than 5 minutes, then add oil or butter. When oil is hot, add food to the pan and sear it to add depth of flavor. Wait to turn food until it's golden brown and releases easily. If it's sticking to the pan, it's not ready to flip yet! - Visit the link in our bio for more tips and tricks from the #LeCreuset blog.
