Safety Instructions — Cast Iron Cookware

1. General Safety Warnings

• Your cast iron cookware (including the pot/pan, handles, and lid knobs) can become very hot during use. To avoid burns:
  
  Always handle with heat-resistant gloves, pot holders, or silicone handle covers.
  
• Never place hot cookware directly on unprotected surfaces. Protect countertops or table tops with trivets or heat pads.
  

2. Stove and Flame Safety

• When cooking on a gas stove, adjust the flame to match the diameter of the cookware’s base.
  
  Flames must never protrude beyond the edges of the cookware’s bottom, as this can damage the sides, handles, or cause a fire hazard.
  
• Be careful with long handles:
  Never let the handle extend over the front of the stove or over another heat source, which could lead to tipping or burns.

3. Heat Protection

• Handles, lids, and knobs may reach extremely high temperatures during cooking — even when not directly above heat.
  
  Always use thermal protection (oven gloves, pot holders, insulated grips) when lifting, stirring, or removing from heat.
  

4. Use on Different Heat Sources

• This cookware is suitable for gas, electric, induction, oven, and stovetop use, but always follow the above safety precautions.
  Gas flames must be contained within the cookware base.

5. Lid and Knob Safety

• Lid knobs become hot — do not touch them directly with bare hands while the cookware is hot.
  
• Ensure lids are stable and secure before lifting to avoid accidental spills or steam burns.
  

6. Heat Shock and Surface Care

(From general cookware safety practices – recommended)

• Do not cool hot cookware suddenly (e.g., with cold water) — sudden temperature changes can damage enamel or metal surfaces.
  

7. Hot Oil and Frying Caution

(General guideline applicable to cookware)

• When frying, do not fill the pot more than one-third with oil to prevent overflowing hot oil.
  
• Do not use a lid while frying to avoid splatter and burns.
  

8. Cleaning and Maintenance Safety

• Always let cookware cool completely before cleaning to avoid thermal shock or burns.
  
• Use protective gloves or cloths when cleaning while still warm.
  
• For best results and longevity, follow the cleaning instructions in the care manual.
  

9. Safe Storage

• Store cookware in a stable place where it cannot fall or be knocked over.
  
• Avoid placing heavy items on top of cookware to prevent damage.
