  Your cookware is oven-safe up to 400°F, but Removable Handle is NOT oven-safe. Don’t cook on high heat as this can damage the nonstick coating over time, causing staining and a reduction in its nonstick properties. Do not put cookware in broiler.

  ---

• HANDLE MAY GET WARM
  Removable Handle may get warm while cookware is in use.
  Use care when moving from stove or heat source.

• NONSTICK UTENSILS RECOMMENDED
  Avoid metal utensils. Instead, use nonstick-safe utensils like nylon, silicone, or wood to protect the cookware’s coating and avoid scratches.

  ---

• HANDWASH ONLY
  Your cookware is not dishwasher safe, except for the Glass Lid.
  For all other pieces, handwash only to preserve the life of the cookware. Let cookware cool before washing.

  ---

• AVOID ABRASIVE SPONGES
  The nonstick coating will release food and residue easily while cleaning, making handwashing easy. To clean, handwash using a soft sponge with warm, soapy water.
