Oven

This means the product can be placed into an oven up 260 ℃

The black phenolic lid knobs on our Classic range of enameled cast iron are heat-resistant to 190°C. The stainless steel knobs can withhold more than 260 ℃.
Do not place any cookware on the floors of ovens with cast iron linings. This will increase the cooking temperature inside the oven, resulting in an increased cooking rate with detrimental effects on food.
