- Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the hot cocotte.
- Do not place a hot cocotte directly on unprotected surfaces. Use a trivet or heat-resistant mat.

- Ensure the cocotte is stable on the stovetop to prevent tipping.
- Keep children and pets away from hot cookware.
Ntọala na ojiji mbụ
- Iwepu: Carefully remove the cocotte and its lid from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- ịsa: Before first use, wash the cocotte and lid with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Seasoning (Optional for interior): While the black matte enamel interior is designed for excellent cooking performance without traditional seasoning, some users prefer to lightly oil the interior before first use. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the interior surface and heat gently on low for a few minutes. Let cool and wipe off excess oil.

- The cocotte is oven safe up to 250°C (482°F).

Induction Compatibility
This cocotte is compatible with all heat sources, including induction cooktops.
