Quick answer: We found no product called "11-19 Blau Schale" on Le Creuset's official pages. Shoppers most likely mean a blue Le Creuset stoneware dish or bowl. The numbers probably come from size labels, but Le Creuset has not confirmed that.

How to Use Your Le Creuset Blue Stoneware Safely
Le Creuset stoneware handles a wide temperature range. It still dislikes sudden changes, so follow the rules below.
| Use | Allowed? | Rule | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oven | Yes | Up to 260°C / 500°F | DE |
| Grill | Yes | Keep at least 6.5 cm between the dish top and the heat source | DE |
| Microwave | Yes | Cover only the open top, because handles can get hot | DE |
| Freezer | Yes | Down to −23°C | DE |
| Dishwasher | Yes | Hand-washing also works | DE |
| Hob, flame or BBQ | No | Never use direct heat | FI |
| Frozen dish into a hot oven | No | Start in a cold oven and heat both together | UK |
How to warm your dish step by step
- Wash the dish in hot soapy water before first use. Rinse and dry it (Le Creuset DE).
- Cooking from frozen? Put the dish in a cold oven, then set the temperature.
- Warming a room-temperature dish? Do not preheat the oven above 205°C (400°F).
- Wear oven gloves every time you lift it.
- Need to add liquid? Take the dish out and let it cool for a few minutes first.
- Check that the food is hot all the way through before you serve.
Stoneware is tough, not superhuman. Temperature plot twists are the fastest way to crack it.
How to clean it
- Let the dish cool. Washing it too quickly may cause thermal shock and cracking (John Lewis quoting Le Creuset).
- Wipe leftovers off the base and sides.
- For stuck food, fill the dish with warm soapy water and soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Fill the dish, do not submerge it, when you soak.
- Wash and dry by hand, or run a full dishwasher cycle.

- Ask for photos of the base, rim and handles.
