Product Usage Instructions
Non-stick Cookware
Cleaning by hand in soapy water is enough. The pan must be cleaned each
time it’s used to remove the film of grease that can stay on the surface. If
the pan is only wiped with a paper towel or rinsed in water, the film won’t be
fully removed and may cook the next time you use the pan, causing stains to
appear. Non-stick pans must not be cleaned with scouring powders or scouring
pads. Instead, use a nylon sponge for both the interior and exterior of the
pan.
Ceramic Cookware
To clean ceramic cookware, hand wash it in soapy water. Avoid using
scouring powders or scouring pads as they may damage the ceramic surface. Use
a nylon sponge or a soft cloth to clean both the interior and exterior of the
cookware. We recommend to wash the ceramic pan manually, with water and a mild
detergent. In this way, it’s the most effective. If the pan might not be clean
enough during the normal dishes, you could add a splash of vinegar and water
into the pan and heat it. The water / vinegar mixture will clean cook the pan.
After this, rinse the pan well, dry and rub with a little bit of sunflower oil
for example. And your pan will be as new. If the base is stubborn dirt, you
can wet the pan soak first with hot water and a good degreasing dishwashing
detergent. Next, if necessary, you can clean the pan with a plastic scouring
pad and some liquid abrasive cleaning detergent.
Hard Anodized Cookware
Hard anodized cookware is dishwasher safe, making it convenient for
cleaning. Simply place the cookware in the dishwasher and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for optimal cleaning results. To prolong the life
of your pan, we recommend hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge. An exterior
coating protects your cookware from the harmful consequences of dishwashing.
It is therefore extremely important not to damage this coating and we
recommend that you avoid the use of scouring pads (Scotch Brite). In case of
dishwasher use, it is preferable to use gentle detergents such as a liquid or
gel. Moreover, a too intensive use of the dishwasher is not recommended.
Washing by hand without scouring pads extends the life time of your cookware.
Stainless Steel Cookware
For stainless steel cookware, it is recommended to hand wash it in soapy
water. This will help preserve its shine and prevent any discoloration. Use a
nylon sponge or a soft cloth to clean both the interior and exterior of the
cookware. For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. We recommend you
to clean your pan thoroughly after each use as food films left on the pan may
cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration
and stains from using too high a heat, we recommend cleaning your product with
a stainless steel/copper cleaner. This can be used on the interior, as well as
the exterior. If your water has high iron content, you may notice a rusty
discoloration. Use stainless steel/copper cleaner to remove this. Some parts
are dishwasher-safe and other parts aren’t.
