BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all labels. Wash cookware and covers in warm water with a
mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and wipe dry with a
soft dishtowel.

HEALTHIER COOKING, EASY CLEANING
When cooking with your Cuisinart
®
Chef’s Classic
™
Non-Stick Hard
Anodized Cookware, you do not need to add oil or butter to prevent
foods from sticking. If you wish to enhance the flavor and appearance of
foods, you need only add a minimum amount to the nonstick surface of
your cookware.
■
STOVETOP COOKING
Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the pan
bottom. When cooking over a gas burner, make certain that the flame
touches only the bottom of the pan. If the flame extends up the sides of
the pan, energy is wasted.
■
COOKING ON A GLASS STOVETOP
To avoid scratching a glass cooktop, do not slide cookware on the glass
surface. Please consult your glass cooktop manual for information and
recommendations on use.
■
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart
®
Chef’s Classic
™
Non-Stick Hard Anodized
Cookware on high heat or food will burn. The aluminum core of this
cookware heats quickly and its even heat distribution prevents hot
spots. The dark interior color also allows food to cook more quickly
with less heat. We recommend 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.
■
OVEN COOKING TEMPERATURE
Cuisinart
®
Chef’s Classic
™
Non-Stick Hard Anodized Cookware can be
used in the oven up to 500˚F. Glass lids are oven safe up to 350˚F. Using
Cuisinart Cookware in the oven will cause the handles as well as the
pan to become hot. Use pot holders or oven mitts when removing the
cookware from the oven. Please DO NOT place Cuisinart
®
Non-Stick
Cookware
under the broiler.
■
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your Cuisinart
Cookware to maintain its appearance and performance. However, our
Chef’s Classic
™
Non-Stick Hard Anodized line is metal-utensil safe.
Refrain from cutting foods or using sharp utensils such as forks, knives,
mashers or whisks that can scratch the cooking surface.
■
EASY MAINTENANCE
Let your Cuisinart
®
Chef’s Classic
™
Non-Stick Hard Anodized
Cookware cool before cleaning. The reinforced nonstick system and
the smooth exterior ensure easy cleaning. Cookware should be washed
by hand with hot sudsy water and a sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not
use steel wool or other metal or abrasive pads that can scratch your
cookware. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to
maintain Cuisinart Cookware’s flawless finish. Do not put in the
dishwasher since harsh detergents will harm exterior finish.
■
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Cuisinart
®
Chef’s Classic
™
Non-Stick Hard Anodized Cookware
has a smooth exterior finish, making it easier to clean and maintain.
Food residue or buildup on the exterior of your cookware can easily
be removed with any non-abrasive cleaning product. The exterior of
Cuisinart Cookware, like other brands, will show wear with continuous
use. This condition will not in any way affect the superior cooking
performance of your cookware.
■
CONVENIENT STORAGE
Hanging pans by their handles on a cookware rack provides convenient,
safe storage for your Cuisinart Cookware.
Use care if you store your cookware in cabinets or drawers. Careless
stacking and crowding may cause scratches.
