PRODUCT USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
Wash your cast iron cookware using hot water and mild detergent.
Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly. It is now ready for use.
SEASONING
Enamel coated cookware does not require seasoning.
APPLICABLE HEATING DEVICES
Westinghouse cast iron cookware can be used with halogen, induction,
ceramic, gas and electric, cooktops and ovens. **They are not microwave
safe**
SUITABLE COOKING METHOD
Enamel coated pots and pans are not suitable for dry cooking. Liquids, oils
or fats should completely cover the base of the pan before heating begins.
Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the enamelled surface.
USAGE
**Please note: Cast iron cookware is very effective at distributing heat. As
such, the entire pot/pan surface will be hot to touch while in use including
the handles. Please take care when handling and use appropriate
protection such as oven mitts to avoid injury**
Medium and low heat settings will yield the best results for most types
of cooking. Heating the pot or pan gradually will ensure even heat
distribution and will assist in maintaining the integrity of the enamel
surface. High heats are not recommended for enamel coated
cookware and should not be required in any instance while using
your cookware. Overheating may cause damage to the enamelled
surface and will be deemed as misuse of the product.
HANDLES AND KNOB ADVICE
Westinghouse cast iron pots and pans with cast iron or
stainless steel handles can be used at any oven
temperature.
DRY BOILING
Do not allow your cast iron cookware to boil dry or heat up when
empty. Doing so may cause permanent damage to the enamelled
surface or may result in cracks or warping of the cookware.
UTENSILS
Do not use metal utensils or knives on the enamelled surfaces. We
recommend the use of nylon, wooden or plastic type utensils. Do not use
electrical devices ie: Hand mixers, hand beaters under any circumstance.
Avoid hitting/bumping/striking any part of the pot or pan as this may cause
chipping of the enamel.
SURFACE PROTECTION
Do not place hot cookware on dining tables, kitchen tops or other surfaces
without the use of a wooden board, heat mat or trivet.
AFTER USE
Allow the cookware to cool thoroughly after cooking. Exposing your cast
iron cookware to cold water while it is still hot may cause warping and
damage to the cast iron and/or enamelled surfaces.
CLEANING AND CARE
When washing, soft abrasive cloths and plastic bristle kitchen brushes
may be used to remove stubborn food particles. Do not use steel wool
or metallic type cleaning products. Once cooled, filling the pot with
water and allowing it to soak will assist in the removal of tough baked
on particles.
AVOID USING DISHWASHER
We recommend you do not wash your cast iron enamel coated
cookware in the dishwasher. Doing so may cause damage to
both the pot and dishwasher.
STORAGE
Ensure cookware is dried thoroughly and stored in a dry
place away from steam and humidity.
