EMERIL LAGASSE Forever Cast Iron Pans
Product Information
The product is a cookware set that can be used on both stove top and oven. It has high there conductivity and distributes heat evenly. It comes with a glass lid and nonmetal utensils should be used while cooking to avoid deteriorating the cooking surface. The handle and pans will become hot during cooking, so it is recommended to use oven mitts or potholders to prevent burns. The cookware set should not be put in the microwave or toaster oven and aerosol cooking sprays should not be used as they can reduce the nonstick coating release.
Product Usage Instructions
- Read all warnings and safe use instructions carefully before use.
- Before first use, please remove any clear or blue protective film on the components and wash the cookware in hot water with mild soap or dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel.
- When frying food, the fill level of oil should not exceed one-half of the interior depth of the pan as the oil level rises with heat and when food is added to the pan. Always ensure that the oil level is below one-half of the interior of the pan before adding food and heat.
- Never leave the cookware or any pan empty on a hot burner as this could ruin the pan and cause damage to your stovetop.
- Always supervise children who are near cookware when in use, or injury may result.
- Do not touch the cookware with your bare hands when hot, especially when inside the oven. Use oven mitts.
- Exercise caution when using the Glass Lid. As with any glassware for cooking, the Lid could shatter due to sudden temperature changes or due to impact if it is dropped or knocked against a hard object. If the Glass Lid should crack, chip, or become damaged, stop using it immediately.
- To extend the life of the pan, do not cut food on the cookware using sharp utensils or use forks, knives, mashers, tongs, or whisks on the pan as they can deteriorate the cooking surface. Only use nonmetal utensils.
- When cooking over a gas burner, make sure the flame touches only the bottom surface of the cookware. If the flame comes up the sides of the pan, turn down the gas flow; the burner is wasting gas and may discolor the cookware.
- The cookware set can be used in the oven or on the stovetop. The handle and pans will become hot. Always use oven mitts or potholders to prevent burns. You can move your pans from the burner to the oven to the table (place the pan on a heat-resistant trivet on the table).
- Before washing, let the cookware cool down. Never immerse hot cookware in cold water as this will cause irreparable warping.
Important Safeguards
WARNING
-
Read all warnings and safe use instructions carefully and thoroughly before use. Failure to follow the warnings provided below may result in personal injury, property damage, or damage to your cookware.
-
The fill level of oil should not exceed one-half of the interior depth of the pan when frying food. Since the oil level rises with heat and when food is added to the pan, ALWAYS ENSURE that the oil level is below one-half of
the interior of the pan before adding food and heat. -
NEVER leave the cookware or any pan empty on a hot burner. This could ruin the pan and cause damage to your stovetop.
-
NEVER put your cookware in the microwave or toaster oven. This is a hazard that can cause electric sparks or fire and could possibly damage the appliances and your cookware.
-
NEVER leave your cookware unattended. This helps to avoid potential injury to children or the risk of fire.
-
ALWAYS supervise children who are near cookware when in use, or injury may result.
-
DO NOT touch the cookware with your bare hands when hot, especially when inside the oven. Use oven mitts.
-
EXERCISE CAUTION when using the Glass Lid. As with any glassware for cooking, the Lid could shatter due to sudden temperature changes or due to impact if it is dropped or knocked against a hard object.
-
If the Glass Lid should crack, chip, or become damaged, stop using it immediately.
-
DO NOT attempt to repair cookware if it is damaged.
-
DO NOT use aerosol cooking sprays. These sprays will build up on cookware and become difficult to remove while reducing the nonstick coating release.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
BEFORE USING
Please remove any clear or blue protective film on the components. Before using your new cookware, it is recommended that you wash it in hot water with mild soap or dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel.
Directions For Use
COOKING WITH HIGH HEAT
This cookware has exceptionally high term conductivity. Even a low setting on
some gas burners could cause overheating and possibly burn foods such as
thinly sliced onions.
WHILE COOKING
- We recommend low to medium heat for most cooking. This pan distributes heat evenly. Slow, steady heat will caramelize, sear, and evenly brown your food.
- Certain oils (e.g., corn, lard, butter, canola, peanut, sesame, coconut, avocado, grapeseed, sunflower, olive oil, and extra virgin olive oil) or clarified butter can be used at higher cooking temperatures than other oils. When using extra virgin olive oil, please consider using medium or medium-high heat for best results.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
To extend the life of the pan, do not cut food on the cookware using sharp
utensils or use forks, knives, mashers, tongs, or whisks on the pan as they
can deteriorate the cooking surface. Only use nonmetal utensils.
COOKING WITH GAS
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches only the bottom
surface of the cookware. If the flame comes up the sides of the pan, turn down
the gas flow; the burner is wasting gas and may discolor the cookware.
COOKING TEMPERATURE IN THE OVEN
Your cookware can be used in the oven or on the stove top. The handle and pans
will become hot. Always use oven mitts or potholders to prevent burns. You can
move your pans from the burner to the oven to the table (place the pan on a
heat-resistant trivet on the table).
Care & Cleaning
EASY MAINTENANCE
- Allow cookware to cool completely before washing. Never immerse hot cookware in cold water as this will cause irreparable warping.
- Cleaning your cookware is quick and easy. After each use, wash thoroughly. If any food particles remain, fill the cookware with hot water and liquid dish detergent, soak until the water becomes lukewarm, and use a sponge or soft cloth to remove any remaining food particles. Dry immediately with a soft towel.
- Do not use steel wool or metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches. Soft-bristle brushes are recommended.
DISHWASHER SAFE
Although the entire cookware collection is dishwasher safe, we recommend
cleaning by hand. Hand-washing preserves the life of the cookware and helps to
maintain its appearance and nonstick surface. If cleaning in the dishwasher,
follow the suggested guidelines:
- Load the dishwasher carefully. Place your cookware on the top rack. Other dishes and flatware may mark the surface of your cookware.
- Be sure to remove soil from other dishes and flatware. It can be abrasive to the cookware’s nonstick coating.
- We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
- Regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any surface.
REMOVING STUBBORN RESIDUE
If food is burned on the cookware, a stubborn black residue may remain. If
regular cleaning does not loosen, soak in hot water and a tablespoon of non-
lemon detergent for 15 minutes. Allow the water to become lukewarm before you
drain and rinse. Wipe with a plastic spatula or nonabrasive sponge to loosen
the residue. Repeat if necessary.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE PAN
Washing the outside of the pans using a sponge or dish brush with soap and
water should keep the outside surface of your pans looking great. For more
thorough cleaning, use a minimally abrasive stainless steel cleaner and follow
the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions.
STORAGE
This cookware can be stacked using flat tempered glass lids. To stack the
cookware, turn the pan’s lid over so that the lid’s handle is inside the pan.
Another pan can be stacked on top of the lid.
For best results, stack smaller pans on top of larger pans.
