INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Very important to size match cookware base with stovetop burner to maximize
cooking efficiency. On gas stoves, flames must always be confined to the
cookware base area and NEVER extend up around the sidewalls. Doing so
can discolor the enamel.
Certain large size cookware will be wider than stovetop burner. If cookware
is larger than stovetop burner, slowly increase heat to ensure even heat
coverage. Never place large size cookware on an already heated burner.
Intense and uneven heating may cause large size cookware to warp or crack.
This is especially important when using a large Griddle or Dutch Oven.
A gradual low-to-medium heat setting yields the best results for most cooking
tastes, including frying and searing, and use of high heat is not necessary.
Once hot, most cooking tasks can be completed with lower heat settings.
Extensive use of high heat can permanently discolor and damage the enamel
coating, and void warranty.
When using cookware on ceramic glass stovetops, always lift (do not slide)
cookware to avoid scratching the cooktop.
Be careful to position long handles away from other stovetop heat zones while
not extending beyond the front of the stove.
For oven use, always place cookware on oven racks. Do not place cookware
on oven floor, as it will increase cooking temperarure inside the oven resulting
in overheating and drying out of baked food.
UTENSILS TO USE
As with all enameled cookware, any wooden, bamboo, nylon or silicone
utensils may be used. Do not knock utensils on the top rim of any pan when
removing foods. Using metal utensils or knives may damage the cooking
surface over time and void the warranty. Metal blades of mixers and beaters
will damage the cooking surface and void the warranty.
