2. After cooking, let pans and lids cool gradually. Do not pour cold water into a hot pan. This can cause
the bottom of the pan to warp, and it can cause oil/grease to splatter. Always wash the pans thoroughly
in hot, soapy detergent after each use to remove all traces of food, salt, or grease particles that will
burn causing stains when the pan is reheated.
3. Seasoning the pots will make cleaning easier. Scouring pads and aluminum cleaners are okay for the
interior of the pots, but will scratch the exterior.
4. Polished aluminum pots will tarnish and discolor with normal use.
Our motto is: “The uglier the pot, the better it cooks!”
Occasional use of "Cream of Tartar" will bring
back some of the luster. However, aluminum pots will tarnish and become dull with normal use.
5. Boiling with large quantities of salt is very corrosive and can cause
pits
in the pot and basket.
To reduce the chance of this occurring, do not allow salt water or seasoned oil/grease to remain in
the pot for a long period of time after the pot has cooled. The basket and pot should be thoroughly
cleaned after each use. DO NOT store cooking oil inside the pots. Salt and seasonings will settle and
can cause pits to form at the bottom of the pot.
Stainless Steel Cookware
1. Before using for the first time, wash in hot soapy water. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
To prevent scratches, avoid using sharp utensils when cooking.
2. Discoloration of stainless steel cookware will result if the pieces are allowed to overheat excessively.
For hard-to-clean stains or discoloration of the stainless steel, use a nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner.
Follow the directions on the container using a clean, damp sponge or cloth. Do Not scrub finish with
a soap-filled steel wool pad or harsh abrasive cleanser as scratching will occur.
