Is there any special way to use Le Creuset cast iron?
Cast iron is a very efficient material, retaining heat well. Use only wooden, plastic or heat resistant silicone or nylon tools, to avoid scratching the enamel. Use a pot holder or oven glove to lift metal handled pans from the stove top or oven. Stand hot pans on a Le Creuset trivet, board or cloth, not directly on unprotected countertops. When using pans on ceramic or halogen stovetops, always lift them (do not slide) to move. If a pan is banged against a hard surface or is dropped, it may chip or break.
