CAUTION: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out this 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.
COOKING OVER A GAS BURNER
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches only the pan bottom. If the flame
comes up the sides of the pan, energy is wasted and the sides of the pan may become permanently
discoloured.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cuisinart® Non-Stick 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 flame-tamer placed between the burner and the bottom of the pot solves this
problem. Flame-tamers are readily available at most hardware stores.
COOKING TEMPERATURE IN OVEN
Cuisinart® Non-Stick 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 (260°C) and can go from burner to broiler to table when placed on a
heat-resistant trivet.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
A cookware rack or pegboard provides convenient, safe storage for your Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware.
Stacking and crowding in cabinets or drawers may cause scratches.
