Cleaning & Care
Parts & Features
Using Your Cookware
If properly maintained, the ceramic finish will provide years of great cooking per-
formance and easy cleaning. Preventing damage to the ceramic finish will help to
maximize product performance. By following these care instructions, you can protect
and get the most out of your investment in our cookware.
1. Never cut food directly in the pan or gouge the ceramic surface in any way.
2. Avoid overexposure to food high in salt, as it can cause the coating to come off.
3. With use, the ceramic surface may become slightly darker. This will not impair its
performance. Slight surface marks or abrasions are normal and will not affect the
performance of the ceramic coating.
4. Cooking sprays are not necessary with ceramic cookware. The use of such sprays
may create an invisible buildup on the surface of the pan that will affect the pan’s
ceramic properties.
Hand-washing is recommended.
• Always wait for your cookware to cool before cleaning. Our cookware is easy to
clean in warm, soapy water using a cloth or sponge. NEVER use abrasive clean-
ers or oven cleaners. Stubborn spots can be removed with cleaners that specify
“safe for ceramic surfaces”.
• Glass Lids: When cleaning glass lids, do NOT use metal scouring pads or harsh
abrasives, as they may scratch and weaken the glass.
NOTE: To avoid discoloration, our cookware should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.

18. Do NOT add cold water, ice or fully frozen food items directly to a hot pan, as
a steam eruption could occur that could cause burns or other injury to users or
bystanders.
19. Be especially cautious in this regard when the pan contains hot oils used during
cooking, as steam eruptions are possible when elements containing water are
brought into contact with hot oil.
20. When boiling water, add salt to the water only after it has come to a boil to keep
salt grains from damaging the steel components of the cookware.
21. Do NOT combine cookware to make a double broiler. These pieces are not
designed for that purpose, and such use could result in steam-related burns or
other injury to users or bystanders.
22. Our cookware cannot be used in a microwave, under a broiler, over a campfire
or on any type of grill.
23. Our cookware is compatible with gas, spiral, ceramic and glass electric range
burner tops. It cannot be used on an induction cooker.
24. Use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils. Metal utensils will scratch the
ceramic surface.
