Removing Stubborn Residue
When food is burned in the pan, a stubborn black residue may remain.
If soaking does not loosen it, add water and a tablespoon of non-lemon
dishwasher detergent to a depth of one inch in the pan. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan, then drain
and rinse. Loosen the residue with a sponge or plastic spatula. Repeat
if necessary.
Removing Burner Stains
Burner stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of the pan can be removed
with an oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and spray or brush
the cleaner on only the outside bottom of the pan. If the directions call for
using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the pan before applying the cleaner.
Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
Cooking with Gas
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches only the
pan bottom. Your pan can become discolored and it is a waste of energy
if the flame comes up the sides of the pan.
NOTE:
Copper Chef Cookware
has exceptionally high thermo-conductivity. Even a low setting on some gas
burners could cause overheating and possibly burn foods such as thinly
sliced onions.
You can prevent this by using an inexpensive gas “flame-tamer” placed
between the burner and the bottom of the pan. You can find inexpensive
flame-tamers at most hardware stores.
Cooking Temperature in Oven
Feel free to use Copper Chef Cookware in the oven without damage.
Please note that the handle as well as the pan will become hot. Always use
oven mitts or potholders to prevent burns. Your Copper Chef Cookware can
be used in the oven. It can go from the burner to the oven and even to the
table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet.
Storage
When storing your Copper Chef Cookware avoid stacking and crowding
it in cabinets or drawers. That could cause scratches. We recommend a
cookware rack or pegboard to provide convenient, safe storage. Always nest
your non-stick pans carefully. Never place any metallic pan covers with thin,
sharp edges inside your pans.
