Using your cookware

USING YOUR COOKWARE
• None of the enameled surfaces require seasoning before use.
• Place the cookware on a stovetop burner no larger than the bottom of the pan.
• For best results, you should apply your choice of liquid vegetable oil or
butter to the inside base before you begin heating. Do not overheat the
cookware, with or without oil, prior to cooking.
• Low to medium heat settings will provide the best results for most cooking,
including frying or searing. Always allow the pan to heat gradually as this
will ensure the most even and efficient cooking results.
• High heat settings should only be used for boiling water for pasta, vegetables,
or reducing sauces. Do not use high heat to pre-heat a pan as this may
cause the pan to become overheated. This could cause poor cooking result
such as sticking or discoloration of the cooking surface.

CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR COOKWARE

• Always allow a hot pan to cool before washing. Use a sponge or soft cloth
to remove any residual food, then wash in warm, soapy water. If there is
residual food in the pan, fill it with water and allow it to sit for 15–20 minutes
before washing. Soft brushes, nylon pads or soft abrasive pads may be
used to remove stubborn residual food. If staining persists after following
this process, repeat the soaking process with ¼ cup of vinegar and 1 cup of
water. You may also simmer this mixture on your stovetop at low to medium
heat for an additional 15–20 minutes.
• Never use steel wool, steel abrasive pads or abrasive cleaners as these will
damage the porcelain enamel finish.
• Always dry your cookware completely after washing.
• Never wash your cookware in the dishwasher.
• Avoid dropping or hitting your cookware against a hard surface as the
porcelain enamel coating may chip or crack.
