DESCRIPTION Enjoy coffee, espresso and cappuccino in color with Le Creuset's new Cafe Collection.Some say coffee prepared in a French press is the way every cup should be savored. Coarsely ground coffee beans are steeped in boiling water, and then filtered away by plunging the mesh sieve through the press. Direct contact between the beans and the water means a stronger flavor. Loose tea leaves can also be steeped in a French press.Features Dense stoneware blocks moisture absorption to prevent cracking, crazing and rippling Impermeable exterior enamel resists stains and scratches from metal utensils Nearly-nonstick glazed interior easily releases foods for quick cleanup Dishwasher-safe SKU PG8200-0567 CAPACITY 34 FL.

HEIGHT 6 1/2" WIDTH 4 1/2" CLEANING DISHWASHER-SAFE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN THAILAND / CHINA MATERIAL STONEWARE PIECE COUNT 2 WARRANTY 10 YEAR GETTING STARTED All items in the Le Creuset stoneware range are original designs and have been hand-crafted, making each piece unique. Due to this uniqueness, there may be slight variations from piece to piece. Le Creuset Stoneware is safe for use in the microwave, freezer, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and broiler. The maximum oven-safe temperature is 500°F / 260°C. The enameled surface is easy to clean and scratch-resistant. The enamel is completely hygienic and will not absorb odors or flavors. Le Creuset Stoneware is extremely strong and durable, and resists staining, chipping and cracking. The handles, knobs and rims have been designed for a secure, easy-to-hold grip. CLEANING AND CARE DO NOT use any Stoneware piece on the stovetop or any other direct heat source. OVEN: Maximum oven-safe temperature is 500°F / 260°C. Use oven mitts for lifting at all times. BROILER: When using under a broiler allow a gap of no less than 2 ½ inches between the rim of the dish and the heat source. MICROWAVE: Handles may become hot during prolonged microwave use, especially if the handles are enclosed with plastic wrap. Cover just the open top of the dish, leaving the handles exposed. FREEZER-TO-OVEN USE: Do not place a frozen dish of food in a preheated oven. Place the frozen dish in a cold oven and set the temperature, allowing the dish and oven to heat together. Before serving always check that the center of the food is completely and uniformly hot. CLEANING: Before the first use, wash the dish in hot, soapy water, and rinse and dry thoroughly. For most day-to-day cleaning, cool the dish for a few minutes before washing and drying, or wash in the dishwasher, allowing the full cycle to complete. Never leave a dish fully immersed in water. For removal of stubborn residues allow the dish to cool, fill with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak for 10 to 20 minutes. Wash in the usual way using a plastic brush or scouring pad if necessary. Over time, it is normal for metal utensils to leave deposits on glazed stoneware. To remove metal markings, clean with an agent such as Le Creuset’s cookware cleaner or Bar Keeper’s Friend and use according to manufacturer’s directions.
