Add about 1/2 inch of hydrogen peroxide, then add 1-2 teaspoons or baking soda. Then turn it on until it begins to bubble (this begins reaction) and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Done, then remove it from heat and scrub it off. Avoid burning fumes and do it well ventilated room.
My favorite items for cleaning my Le Creuset is the “scrub daddy” sponge and even better for stains or grease is the “Mr. Clean magic eraser.” It works wonders with hot soapy water!
I always use baking soda---you can make a paste with a little water, let it sit for a moment, and basically wipe the burn off.

While Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron is dishwasher-safe, we do recommend hand washing to keep the finish beautiful. Over time, constant dishwashing may lead to some dulling of the enamel finish, but it's important to note that this will not hinder the cooking performance.
Le Creuset silicone, wooden or heat-resistant tools are recommended when cooking. Metal utensils may be used with care, but should not be used harshly or scraped over the non-stick surface. Do not knock these on the top rim of the pan.
Wipe with a dry cloth to remove all loose food. Once you have removed as much as possible, create a paste of kosher salt and lukewarm water and coat the cookware to remove residue. If this doesn't work, mix baking soda and water to create a paste. This will remove both stains and any remaining stuck-on food.
Others have already suggested this, so I'll confirm that simmering water with baking soda in the pan, then let it sit overnight, will loosen up the black crud on the inside. Then make a paste of water and baking soda and apply it liberally to the exterior of then pan.
Le Creuset cookware is warranted to you by Le Creuset of America, Inc. to be free from defects in material and workmanship at the time of its purchase. For this Lifetime Limited Warranty to apply, you must follow the care and use instructions provided with the utensil. This warranty covers normal household use only.
As for cleaners, our Le Creuset Cast Iron Cookware Cleaner will help keep your Dutch oven looking great, and is ideal for removing metal marks caused by metal tools. Bar Keeper's Friend, or a paste of baking soda and water, also comes in handy for cleaning tough stains, oil residue and marks on your Dutch oven as well.
For persistent stains:
Soak the interior of the cookware for 2-3 hours with a mixture of 3 tablespoons of household bleach per quart of water. To remove stubborn, baked-on food, boil 2 cups of water and 4 tablespoons of baking soda. Boil for a few minutes, then use a pan scraper to loosen the food.
Well, to reiterate, you definitely should not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners. Instead, take Le Creuset's advice and do the following. Option 1: Fill the pot with warm, soapy water, let it soak for at least 15 minutes, then scrub with a soft brush or sponge.
A magic eraser is a safe and effective cleaning tool to clean car glass. It won't scratch the glass and only removes dirt, such as insects, debris, haze, and smoke films. A clean windshield and windows are essential for a driver's safety and visibility.
Get rid of toilet rings with magic erasers
Cut off a quarter of a magic eraser and drop it into the toilet water. Let the piece sit in your toilet overnight to work its… well, magic! Do not flush the magic eraser down the toilet ! Remove it in the morning, then flush to rinse away any residue.
Is Bar Keepers Friend abrasive? There are abrasive particles in all BKF products except for MORE Spray + Foam. The powder products contain more abrasive than the pre-diluted Soft Cleanser. For jobs that require additional scrubbing power, use one of our powder products.
Expensive — the cost for a 5 1/2-quart pot is $420 when it's not on sale. The light interior can be easily scratched by metal tools and stained by food (although you can eliminate some stains with a bit of elbow grease).
All Le Creuset pans with integral cast iron, phenolic handles or stainless-steel knobs are dishwasher safe although constant dishwashing may leave to some dulling of the enamel finish. Please ensure that the cookware is thoroughly dry before storing.
In our opinion, the answer is yes. We're big fans of any brand that offers a lifetime warranty on its products and Le Creuset is one of them. In fact, its ceramics are so well made that they often outlive the people who originally bought them, with items being passed down to the next generation.
