1 Approved heat sources include induction, gas, electric, ceramic, radiant ring, oven and broiler/grill. Never use in a microwave or on unregulated heat sources such as outdoor grills, open fires or pizza ovens. Handles, lids and knobs become hot during oven use and may become hot on the cooktop; always use a dry, heat-resistant hand protector.
Never use the product if the interior enamel has chipped. Avoid rapid heating and thermal shock, allow the pot to heat and cool gradually, and cool it to room temperature before cleaning.
