USING YOUR COOKWARE.
Before First Use
- Remove all packaging materials and labels. Please recycle properly.
- Before first use boil out two to three times, then rinse.
Heat Sources
Safe for use on all cooking surfaces, including induction.
Recommendations for use of induction equipped cookware
- Induction cooktops develop a very intense heat in a very short time. Cookware equipped with induction technology will heat up very quickly on induction cooktops.
- When cooking on an induction hob, the diameter of the base of the pan must be as large as the diameter of the heat source. If the pan is too small, the hob may not heat up because it does not recognise the pan.
- When cooking on an induction hob, the pan may make a buzzing sound. It doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with the pans.
- Never leave empty pans on a hot hob. This can cause irreversible damage to the pans and the hob. Overheating can cause the pan to warp, which can also damage the non-stick coating.
Using the Glass Lid
- Avoid extreme temperature changes when using glass lids.
- Do not submerge a hot lid in cold water.
- If a lid vacuum occurs, do not attempt to remove the lid. First, turn off the heat source and move the entire pan away from the burner. Then, slowly release the lid.
- Do not use glass lids that have craks or scratches. If your lid is cracked or has deep scratches, breakage can occur spontaneously. Please contact the Customer Service to order a new lid.
- Do not place glass lids directly on top of or directly under heating elements.
Handles and Knobs
- Loose handles – periodically check handles and knobs to be sure they are not loose. If the handles become loose, do not try to repair them. Please contact Customer Service for a replacement.
- Handle position when cooking: position pans so that handles are not over other hot burners and do not allow handles to extend beyond the edge of the stove where they can be knocked off.
- The stainless steel handles are oven safe up to 220°C. Always use potholders or oven mitts when handling hot cookware..
COOKING
- Cook on a burner that is similar in base diameter to the cookware you have selected.
- When cooking on a gas stove, adjust the flame so it does not flare up the sides of the cookware, otherwise the handles will become hot.
- Use of a lid when cooking considerably reduces energy consumption.
- Use your cookware at low to medium settings. High heat can damage the cookware finish – high heat settings are only suggested for boiling water.
- We recommend using oil or butter when cooking. Remember, some oils and fats burn at lower temperatures. Use oils and fats that have a high smoke point. If cooking with oil, add room temperature oil to preheated cookware.
- Do not use any type of oil sprays, including aerosols, mist and pump sprays. These sprays can cause residue build-up that is difficult to remove from all types of cookware.
- Do not use extra virgin olive oil as it cannot withstand high heating and is not suitable for frying. It will leave a thin carbonized layer on your non-stick.
- Do not rush the preheating process by using high heat.
- Allow the oil/butter to heat up in the cookware before adding food.
- Wear and tear of your cookware and its ceramic non-stick coating is normal. Over time there is a natural reduction of your pan’s non-stick properties. This process is accelerated by prolonged exposure of the non-stick surface to high heat, which causes carbonization of food and oil.
- Never use metal utensils on any non-stick surface. Plastic, rubber or wooden utensils are recommended to protect your cookware’s non-stick finish. Do not cut inside the cookware.
- When using halogen, ceramic and induction hobs, ensure that your hob and cookware are free from debris so as not to scratch the hob’s surface.
- Never shuffle or drag pans across the stove top during cooking as this may cause scratching. Always lift the pan.
CARING FOR YOUR COOKWARE
Cleaning cookware
- Allow cookware to air cool, and clean thoroughly after every use.
- Do not put hot cookware under cold water. Allow the cookware to cool completely.
- This KitchenAid cookware is dishwasher safe. For best results in the dishwasher, use the manufacturer’s recommended dishwasher detergents and cycles. To extend the life of non-stick cookware, hand washing with hot, soapy water is recommended.
- Slight discolorations on stainless steel can occur over time, this is normal. Overheating may cause brown or blue stains on your cookware. Exposure to salt, moisture or acidic foods can also cause white spots or white film on your cookware. Additionally, other items also cleaned in the dishwasher at same time (knives, cutlery/flatware) can leave small spots of corrosion on cookware. On stainless steel surfaces – polishing may remove these stains and spots. To polish your pans use a soft cloth and lemon juice or vinegar or a stainless steel cleaner and rub with a circular motion. Wash, rinse and dry.
- Use a sponge or dishcloth when hand cleaning cookware; do not use oven cleaners, harsh detergents, chlorine bleach, steel wool or nylon scrubbing pads. Hand dry with a soft towel.
- If carbonization of food and oil on your non-stick coating occurs or there are difficult to clean food deposits after cleaning partially fill the cookware with hot water and quickly bring the water to a boil. After draining the pan, scrub the pan with a sponge or pot and pan brush using hot soapy water.
- For stubborn carbonisation deposits that still remain, it is advisable to use a melamine sponge (check the melamine instructions on how to use it). You can find these sponges in most household goods stores and supermarkets
Cleaning the Glass Lid
- Never use metal utensils, sharp instruments, oven cleaners, or other harsh abrasives that may damage or weaken the glass.
- Glass lids may be washed in the dishwasher. You can also wash lids in hot, soapy water; then dry immediately to avoid water spots.
Storing cookware Properly
- Storing cookware along with other metal implements can cause scratches or chipping in the surface of the non-stick coating.
- Take care when nesting your KitchenAid cookware. The usage of pan protectors is recommended.
