Care & Usage
• Always wash new cookware prior to initial use.
• Hand wash only. Use warm soapy water with a soft sponge or dishcloth and
rinse and dry. You can also simply wipe and clean with a damp paper towel.
• Most dishwasher detergents can damage the surface. Do not use a dishwasher
or dishwasher detergents.
• Do not use steel wool or any other abrasive materials that may scratch the
surface of your pan.
• Use plastic or wooden utensils while cooking. Metal whisks, mashers and/or
sharp knifes will scratch the surface. Never attempt to cut foods while they are
in the pan. Any misuse will void the warranty (See back of manual for details).
• Handle using pot holders or oven gloves to avoid injury.
• For best results, before cooking, allow pan to heat up to 1 minute, heating the
empty pan between 280°F - 300°F, before inserting foods.
• After cooking, always allow the pan and lid to cool down to room temperature
before cleaning.
• Although the natural ceramic finish is extremely durable, it can become
damaged if not stored properly. A hanging rack is ideal. When storing in a
drawer or cabinet use care when stacking with other pots and pans. This will
help avoid scratches or dings that may cause the ceramic surface to separate
from the stainless steel.
Making Your NuWave PerfectGreen™ Pans Last
• Use your non-stick cookware on medium to medium/high heat (275°F - 375°F).
High heat can cause food to scorch, burn and discolor the pan.
• Avoid over heating of empty cookware. If empty, the maximum temperature
should not exceed 300°F.
• Avoid pre-heating pans on high temperature settings. The nature of Duralon™
non-stick coating is to hold and distribute the heat more effectively which will
help protein-rich foods cook more quickly.
• Always let your pan cool down to room temperature before washing.
• Never run cold or warm water onto a hot pan or immerse the heated pan in
cold water.
• The ideal temperature for washing Duralon™ coated pans is between 90°F
and 110°F.
Keep in mind, discoloration and small surface markings may appear with use.
This will not affect the quality or performance of the pan.
