USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Lava Cookware Enameled Cast Iron Cookware is suitable for use on all types of

stovetop cooking surfaces and in the oven or your outdoor grill. When using cast iron on

glass or ceramic cooking surfaces, do not slide the cookware on the surface — always

lift to move. Lava Cast Iron Cookware distributes heat evenly and efficiently.

USE LOW TO MEDIUM BURNER HEAT ONLY FOR MOST PURPOSES. USE HIGH

HEAT ONLY WHEN BOILING PASTA OR VEGETABLES OR REDUCING SAUCES.

NEVER USE HIGH HEAT TO PRE-HEAT YOUR LAVA COOKWARE. CAST IRON

HEATS MUCH MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN OTHER COOKWARE MATERIALS. THE

ENAMELED COOKING SURFACE CAN BE DAMAGED WITH EXCESSIVE

HEATING. DAMAGE FROM EXCESSIVE HEATING AND/OR SHOCK COOLING

ARE NOT COVERED BY YOUR LAVA LIMITED WARRANTY.
