ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Conical Tri-Ply Stainless
Cookware on high heat. Food will burn. The aluminum
encapsulated base makes this cookware highly conductive
and effi cient for quick, even heat distribution. We recommend
using a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil water,
medium-high is suffi cient. 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
Wash your new cookware in hot water with a mild soap or dish
detergent before using for the fi rst time. Rinse thoroughly and
wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel, or you may place
your Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Conical Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware in
a dishwasher.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, fi ll 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 are coarse and will
scratch the surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately for
a fl awless fi nish.
Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Conical Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware features
oven-safe handles that can withstand oven temperatures up
to 500°F. Glass lids are oven safe to 350°F. Caution should
be used when handling any cookware handles, and we
recommend the use of potholders.
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Conical Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware is
dishwasher safe, but remember that soil from other dishes may
be abrasive. If the dishwasher is carelessly packed, other dishes
or fl atware may mar the surface of the cookware. Over a long
period, regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any
utensil. We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
WHAT ABOUT METAL UTENSILS?
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your
Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Conical Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware.
You may prefer using metal utensils. These may scratch the
cooking surface, but will in no way impair the performance of
your Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Conical Tri-Ply Stainless 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. This can be easily removed
with any nonabrasive cleaning product.
CAUTION: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out the
following procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a
well-ventilated room.
TO REMOVE BURNER STAINS
Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of pans 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Conical Tri-Ply
Stainless Cookware has exceptionally high thermoconductivity,
and even a low setting on some gas burners will overheat or
even burn foods such as thinly sliced onions. An inexpensive
gas “fl ame-tamer” placed between the burner and the bottom
of the pot solves this problem. Flame-tamers are readily
available at most hardware stores.
FOR USE ON INDUCTION STOVETOPS
Please consult your induction stovetop manual for information
on use. Please always center the cooking vessel on the burner
for optimal performance.
COOKING OVER A GAS BURNER
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the fl ame
touches only the pan bottom. If the fl ame comes up the sides
of the pan, energy is wasted and the sides of the pan may
become permanently discolored.
COOKING TEMPERATURE IN OVEN
Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Conical Tri-Ply Stainless 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Tempered glass covers are oven safe to
350˚F only.
TO BREAK A VACUUM SEAL
The uniquely designed rims and covers form a perfect fi t 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 for your Cuisinart
®
MultiClad
Conical Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware provides convenient, safe
storage. Stacking and crowding in cabinets or drawers may
cause scratches.
