USING YOUR COOKWARE SET
BEFORE FIRST USE:
• Remove all labels and packaging materials.
• Wash cookware in hot water with a mild detergent, then rinse and dry
using a clean, soft dish cloth or paper towel.
GENERAL COOKING TIPS:
• Never leave cookware unattended while cooking.
• Select the proper burner size so that the heat touches only the bottom
diameter of the cooking surface and not the sides of the cookware. When
cooking on gas, adjust the flame, so it does not flare up on the sides of the
pan.
• Although the long handles are designed to stay cool to the touch, using a
potholder is a safe idea. ALWAYS use pot holders when removing lids,
holding side handles, and removing pots and pans from a stove.
• Never let cookware boil dry or leave an empty piece of cookware on a
heated burner.
• Do not slide or drag cookware across the stovetop, as this may cause
damage to both the cookware and the stovetop.
• We recommend seasoning the pan. Heat your cookware with two table-
spoons of cooking oil for 1 to 2 minutes at medium heat. Do NOT allow the
oil to overheat, change color, or begin to smoke. Empty the pan and repeat
the washing process with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• When frying, sauteing, or searing, preheat on low heat for 1 to 2 minutes,
and then add food. This will also help minimize sticking.
• When using oil, butter, or margarine, add to a cold cookware before
preheating.
• It is best to add salt after food has started cooking. This will help prevent
small white dots or pits from forming on your cookware surface, as is the
case for any stainless steel cookware.
• For optimal cooking performance, low to medium heat settings are
recommended. A high heat setting would be used for boiling.
• We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your stainless steel
