## Highlights
Cast iron cookware
**Do’s**
• Allow the product to cool to room temperature before washing
• Heat up slowly, using only low to medium heat settings
• Dishwasher-safe but washing by hand in warm soapy water recommended, along with use of our specialised Cast Iron Cleaner
**Don’ts**
• Avoid high heat settings – this contributes to food sticking and can damage the enamel
• Don’t subject products to major temperature changes (thermal shock) e.g., plunging into cold water after cooking
• Don’t store your cookware while it is still damp
