BEFORE YOU COOK
Before using cookware for the first time, wash in warm, sudsy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
STOVETOP USE
Safe for use on gas, electric, electric coil, halogen, ceramic and induction cooktops.
PREHEAT
Preheat the pan using the heat setting you intend to use when cooking, before adding butter or
oil.
Do not rush the preheating process by using high heat.
Experiment with heat settings; start with medium heat and adjust as needed.
Use high heat for boiling liquids only.
Use medium-high heat for searing, sautéing, frying and stir-frying.
Use a medium heat setting for reducing liquids, pancakes, sandwiches and omelettes.
Use low heat to warm foods, simmer or prepare delicate sauces.
BUTTER OR OIL
Use the “butter test” to determine whether your pan is hot enough for sautéing. Simply wipe a
dab of butter on the bottom of the pan. If it bubbles briskly without burning, your pan is perfectly
preheated.
When searing or sautéing, a small amount of butter or oil is all you need. Your recipe may call
for more; if so, we recommend that you follow the recipe.
Allow the oil to heat for a minute before adding food to the pan.
Do not use aerosol cooking sprays with Calphalon Classic Nonstick cookware. These sprays
will build up on cookware and become difficult to remove while reducing the non-stick coating
release.
