No, the dish comes ready to use right out of the box. The interior enamel coating means it does not require any seasoning or special maintenance.
The handles are designed to be gripped easily when you need to invert the pan. This provides a secure hold when flipping your tart onto a serving plate after it comes out of the oven.
Yes, the dish is dishwasher-safe. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is often recommended to maintain the luster of the enamel over time.
This dish is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it suitable for high-heat roasting, baking, and finishing dishes that started on the stovetop.
The light-colored, smooth enamel is designed to help you easily monitor the color of your food as it cooks. This is particularly helpful when caramelizing sugar for a Tarte Tatin or browning ingredients.
