Using Your Tri-Ply Base 18/8 Stainless Steel Cookware:

Caution: Do not allow the cookware to boil for prolonged periods to prevent overheating. If the cookware becomes overheated, do not submerge it in cool or tepid water as it may permanently damage the construction. Instead, allow the cookware to cool completely on the stovetop before handling. If the cookware boils dry, it is recommended to discontinue its use.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and caring for the cookware to maintain its performance and longevity.

Understanding Tempered Glass Lids, Use & Care:

If a tempered glass lid has been damaged during transportation, accidentally dropped, or shows signs of damage or scratching, immediately discontinue its use. Continuing to use a damaged tempered glass lid may cause shattering without warning, leading to possible injuries. Contact the manufacturer for replacement information.

Cleaning and Caring for Your Tempered Glass Lid:

Product Usage Instructions – Lock & Drain Pasta Cooker:

Align the locking tabs on the insert with the indentations in the cookware rim.
Insert the lock and drain insert into the pot.
Lock the locking tabs, ensuring they are centered above the side handles when properly aligned.
To avoid injury or spills, make sure the lock and drain insert is in the locked position before draining the contents of your stock pot or cookware.
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware to prevent burns or injuries.
Firmly grasp the side handles while draining the contents, making sure they drain away from you and only from the strainer lid holes.
Ensure the entire stock pot is within the sink when draining, using the sink edge or counter for added support and a towel to prevent slipping.
Slowly drain the contents while averting your face and arms from the steam.
Do not place the hot lid directly on cold surfaces to prevent thermal shock.

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

USING YOUR TRI-PLY BASE
18/8 STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE

Before using your cookware for the first time, hand-wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To ensure drain holes are completely clean, soak Lock & Drain insert in hot, soapy water for a few minutes and gently scrub with nonabrasive pad. We also recommend running pasta strainer through dishwasher before using.
Cook or boil using low to medium heat only. Cookware with tri-ply base construction requires only low to medium heat to sauté, fry or cook most foods. Using a high heat setting causes the tri-ply base to become very hot, which may cause foods to stick, burn or scorch if added to very hot cookware. In fact, the use of high heat can permanently discolor and damage your cookware. Stainless steel cookware is oven-safe up to 350°F (176°C).
Keep the cookware on the burner only during the necessary time for cooking or boiling. Do not overheat empty cookware or allow gas flames to extend up the sides of pan and overheat handles.
Caution: Do not allow cookware to boil for prolonged periods of time, as all liquids may evaporate, resulting in overheated cookware. Should this inadvertently occur, never submerge overheated cookware into cool or tepid water, as this will permanently damage the cookware’s construction. Instead, allow cookware to remain on stovetop until it cools completely. If cookware is allowed to boil dry, we recommend discontinuing use.
Do not leave or store food remains in the cookware for long periods of time. Superficial pitting may occur if very salty or acidic foods (such as tomatoes) are left in the cookware.
Avoid sudden temperature changes such as immersing hot cookware in cold water. Always let the cookware cool before washing.

CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR TRI-PLY BASE 18/8 STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE

Stainless steel cookware is dishwasher-safe. However, we recommend hand-drying the cookware immediately after the rinse cycle or hand-washing and drying to preserve the original finish.
Prolonged exposure to high heat settings may cause your cookware to discolor. To recondition your cookware or to remove stubborn spots or stains, use a nonabrasive pad and quality stainless steel cleanser such as Bar Keepers Friend®.

IMPORTANT

TO AVOID INJURY, ALWAYS USE PROTECTIVE MITTS TO SAFELY HANDLE HOT COOKWARE
USE ONLY LOW TO MEDIUM HEAT
OVEN-SAFE UP TO 350°F (176°C)

UNDERSTANDING TEMPERED GLASS LIDS, USE & CARE

Industrial glass is tempered by a controlled thermal treatment process to increase its strength when compared with normal glass.
The thermal treatment of glass creates balanced internal stresses which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards.
The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury, making tempered glass lids safer for use within household kitchens provided the instructions below are observed.

CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR TEMPERED GLASS LID

Extra caution must be used when handling glass lids.
When cleaning a glass lid, do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or coarse scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface of the glass lid, which may cause breakage over time.

THERMAL SHOCK

Avoid sudden temperature changes such as placing a hot glass lid on a cold surface or immersing a hot glass lid in cold water.
Always let the lid cool before washing, as sudden temperature changes can break the glass.
Do not place a cold lid from the refrigerator directly in a heated oven or on a hot pan. Allow the lid to reach room temperature prior to use.

IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE THE USE of a lid that has been damaged during transportation, accidentally dropped or shows signs of damage or scratching. Continuing to use a damaged tempered glass lid may cause shattering without warning, leading to possible injuries to users or bystanders. Contact the manufacturer for replacement information.

CAUTION

OVEN-SAFE UP TO 350°F (176°C)
AVOID SUDDEN OR SEVERE TEMPERATURE CHANGES
DO NOT IMMERSE HOT LID IN COLD WATER
THERMAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE A TEMPERED GLASS LID TO SHATTER
IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF DAMAGED LID

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Your new stock pot can be used with or without the Lock & Drain insert.
