USING YOUR COOKWARE SET
BEFORE FIRST USE:
• Remove all labels and packaging materials.
• Wash cookware in hot water with a mild detergent, then rinse and dry
using a clean, soft dish cloth or paper towel.
LID USE:
• When removing lids during cooking, tilt the lid to direct steam away from
you and keep hands and face away from steam vents. Always use a
potholder or appropriate kitchen cloth to remove lids to avoid burns or
injury.
• DO NOT use glass lids that have cracks, chips, or scratches and do not
attempt to make repairs to damaged cookware. Using damaged lids or
cookware could lead to explosions or injuries to users or bystanders.
• DO NOT place hot glass lids under cold water, as the temperature change
can break the glass.
GENERAL COOKING TIPS:
• Never leave cookware unattended while cooking.
• Use only low to medium heat with your cookware set at all times (includ-
ing boiling water). Aluminum cookware conducts heat extremely quickly
and evenly. High heat may damage the ceramic coating.
• Select the proper burner size so that the heat touches only the bottom
diameter of the cooking surface and not the sides of the cookware.
• When cooking over a gas burner,
make certain the flame touches only the
cookware bottom cooking surface. If the flame comes up the sides of the
pan, energy is wasted, and the sides of the pan may become permanently
discolored.
• Never let cookware boil dry or leave an empty piece of cookware on a
heated burner.
• Do not use the cookware to flambe.
• Do not slide or drag cookware across the stovetop, as this may cause
damage to both the cookware and the stove top.
