CARE DESK
Pick what you see. The first safe steps appear immediately, with no guesswork and no aggressive scrubbing.
Select a situation
If you are still cooking, wait for a proper crust: well-seared food often releases naturally.
After cooking, let the piece cool completely before adding water.
Soak with warm water and liquid dish soap, then use a soft sponge or brush.
Do not attack the enamel with a metal scourer or sharp tool.
