Stainless Steel Cookware with Nonstick Coating
Cooking
Before First Use:
Be sure to wash the pan before the first use and to clean thoroughly between uses.Hand wash your pans with warm, soapy water to remove any dirt or debris left over from the manufacturing and shipping process.Wipe dry with a soft, non-abrasive dish towel to avoid scratching. The bottom surface of your pan should be dry before touching a burner.
Cooking:
Pre-heat for up to 90 seconds on low to medium heat only before adding oil. Avoid leaving an empty pan on a hot burner, unless over very low heat.
Pots and pans are oven safe up to 500°F. Lids are oven safe up to 350°F. Avoid use under the broiler.
Plastic, nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils are recommended as metal utensils may scratch the nonstick surface.
Cook over low and medium heat. Never use high heat unless boiling liquids. Do not overheat empty cookware or cook fat or oil to the extent it burns and turns black. If the fat is smoking the pan is getting too hot. The use of nonstick cooking spray is also not recommended as it may reduce the performance of the nonstick surface over time.
Low heat is ideal for delicate foods like eggs or fish. Medium heat is ideal for cooking methods like stir-frying. Use medium-low heat for other foods.
Nonstick is also great for reheating meals right on the stovetop. Preheat the pan on medium-low heat then add leftovers to be reheated, keeping the lid on or off. Reheating in a nonstick pan can restore crisp textures to roasted, stir-fried, and breaded foods without adding any additional fat.
Caution:
Do not slide or drag cookware across the stove top, as this may cause damage to both the cookware and stove top.
Cleaning
Cleaning Tips:
Let your cookware cool completely before running cold water over its surface to avoid thermal shock (meaning it might crack—yikes!). Your pans can withstand extreme temperatures on both ends of the spectrum, but sudden and significant changes can reduce their lifespan. Hand wash pans in warm soapy water. We recommend using nylon scrubbing pads or a soft sponge and advise against oven cleaners, steel wool, steel scouring pads, harsh detergents, or detergents containing chlorine or peroxide bleach which can damage the pan’s surface and exterior.
If severe amounts of burned grease or food residue collect and become too difficult to remove through normal cleaning try bringing a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water to a boil in the pan. Then use a wooden spoon to carefully remove stuck-on bits.
