eSSentiaL PreCaUtiOnS
Never use Cuisinart MultiClad Unlimited
™
Cookware on high heat.
Food will burn. The clad construction of this cookware is highly
conductive and efficient for quick, even heat distribution. We recom-
mend using a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil water,
medium-high is sufficient. Never leave Cuisinart
®
Cookware or any
pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and cause
damage to the stovetop.

BefOre USinG
Remove all labels. Wash your new cookware in hot water with a
mild soap or dish detergent before using for the first time. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel. Or
you may place your Cuisinart MultiClad Unlimited
™
cookware
in a dishwasher.
•
eaSy maintenanCe
Immediately after each use, fill the pan with hot water and liquid dish
detergent; let stand until lukewarm. Use a sponge or soft cloth to
remove any remaining food particles. Do not use steel wool or other
metal pads that make coarse scratches. Rinse thoroughly and dry
immediately for a flawless finish. Cuisinart MultiClad Unlimited
™
features oven-safe handles that can withstand oven temperatures
up to 500°F. Caution should be used when handling any cookware
handles and we recommend the use of potholders.

is dishwasher-safe, but remember
that soil from other dishes may be abrasive. If the dishwasher is
carelessly packed, other dishes or flatware may mar the surface
of the cookware. Over a long period, regular dishwasher cleaning
will eventually scratch any cookware surface. We recommend using a
non-lemon detergent. If any discoloration occurs on the pan rim,
it can be removed by hand by scrubbing with mild soap and a
Scotch-Brite
®
pad.

PrOPer COOKinG UtenSiLS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your Cuisinart
MultiClad Unlimited
™
Cookware. You may prefer using metal
utensils. These may scratch the cooking surface, but will in no way
impair the performance of your cookware. You may use a hand mixer
with metal beaters which can scratch the interior surface but will not
impair the cookware’s performance or its durability.

tO remOve StainS
Calcium in your water may leave a multicolored stain. This is from
a harmless deposit and can be removed with a little warm vinegar.
Certain foods such as pasta or oatmeal may leave a light residue
or cloudy appearance on the stainless interior. This can be easily
removed with any of these cleaning products: Bon Ami
®
, Cameo
®
Stainless Steel or Metal Cleaner, Nevr-Dull
®

tO remOve StUBBOrn reSidUe
When food is burned in the pan, a stubborn black residue may
remain. If soaking does not loosen it, add water to a depth of one
inch in the pan, then add a tablespoon of dishwasher detergent (a
non-lemon product). 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.
CaUtiOn:
Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out this
procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a well-
ventilated room.

COOKinG Over a GaS BUrner
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches
only the pan bottom. If the flame comes up the sides of the pan,
energy is wasted.
imPOrtant nOte:

has exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and even a low setting
on some gas burners will overheat or burn foods such as thinly
sliced onions. An inexpensive gas flame-tamer placed between
the burner and the bottom of the pot solves this problem.
Flame-tamers are readily available at most hardware stores.

Cookware can be used in the oven
without damage. Naturally, the handle as well as the pan will become
hot. Use potholders to prevent burns. The cookware can be used in
the oven at any baking temperature up to 500°F and can go from
burner to broiler to table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet.

The uniquely designed rims and covers form a perfect fit to reduce
the evaporation of liquids. If you leave the cover on after turning the
heat down or off, a partial vacuum may form, which will seal the lid
to the pan. To break the seal, turn on the heat for a few moments, and
the cover will come off easily. If you don’t want the lid to seal to the
pan, remove the cover or set it slightly ajar before turning off the heat.

COnvenient StOraGe
A cookware rack or pegboard provides convenient, safe storage for
your Cuisinart MultiClad Unlimited

Cookware. Stacking and
crowding in cabinets or drawers may cause scratches.
