Safety and Use Instructions
Read, understand, and follow all Safety and Use Instructions to avoid injury.
WARNING
- Keep children away from the stove while cooking. Be careful around the stove as heat, steam, and splatter from this product can cause burns.
- Never allow cookware to boil dry or leave an empty cookware on a hot burner, as the cookware can get extremely hot. This could lead to warping or damage of the non-stick coating.
- Do not overheat your non-stick cookware, as smoke or fumes from burning foods, oils, and non-stick coating can be hazardous.
- Gas flames should not extend up the sides of the cookware. This will damage the exterior of the cookware and handle, voiding the guarantee.
- Always use a heat-resistant oven mitt or pad when handling hot handles.
CLEANING
- Before using all cookware for the first time, wash it thoroughly with hot soapy water to ensure it is clean; cookware and lid are dishwasher-safe. Dry completely before storing.
- Do not use abrasive cleansers like steel wool, cleansers with chlorine bleach, or oven cleaning solutions as they may permanently damage the cookware and void the guarantee.
- To deep clean.
the cookware (not the area with nonstick)
| use a stainless-steel cleanser to restore the luster and remove buildup and
discoloration.

cookware
| use a nonabrasive sponge or cloth to deep clean.
For tougher food buildup or occasional deep cleaning, prepare a baking soda paste by mixing 1/2 cup (125 mL) of baking soda with 3 tbsp (45 mL) of water. Apply to the desired areas and let it stand for
paste, rinse thoroughly, and towel dry.
To maintain a clean and shiny lid
| periodically clean with a cloth dampened with vinegar or lemon juice. Rinse and dry completely.
To remove water spots or discoloration
| use a vinegar solution of equal parts water and vinegar. Apply vinegar solution with sponge or cloth.
Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Rinse and dry completely.
USE AND CARE
Storing
| To help reduce scratches on interior and exterior coatings,
between cookware when storing.
---|---
Stovetop use
| Cookware may be used on a glass or ceramic cooktop, electric coil, gas burner range, or induction range. Exterior surfaces of cookware and induction, glass top, and ceramic cooking surfaces should be clean and free of food residue before heating. Consult your stove manufacturer’s instructions for more details.
• Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the
extend beyond the base of cookware.
• Use appropriate heat level for cooking application. Overheating cookware can cause discoloration. Discoloration (blue-colored tint on exterior surface)
---|---
Non-stick
| Always use low or medium heat when cooking food. This helps preserve the
nutrients in food (many of which are fragile, and easily damaged when heated
to extremes). It also helps preserve the nonstick surface.
Low heat| Simmering liquids, warming food, and preparing delicate sauces.
Medium heat| Preheating, sautéing, searing, frying, stir-frying, maintaining a
boil.
High heat| Boiling and reducing liquids only.
- For best results when sautéing or searing, preheat cookware before adding food, but do not preheat empty cookware
- Before you begin cooking, add a small amount of cooking oil (Note: aerosol non-stick sprays are not recommended and may create a sticky residue which is difficult to clean if not washed promptly or overheated). Preheat for 1-2 minutes on medium to medium-high heat. Add food and adjust the heat setting as needed.
- Add salt to liquids once a boil is reached. Salt will not absorb into cold water and may leave small white marks on the stainless surface. Salt should be added to foods toward the end of cooking.
Oven use
| Cookware is oven-safe to 500°F (260°C). Glass lid is oven-safe to 500°F
(260°C).
---|---
Broiler use
| Never place this product under the broiler. The nonstick coating will be
severely damaged and it will void the warranty.
Microwave and outdoor grill|
Not microwave or outdoor grill-safe.
Non-stick sprays and oils
| Do not use non-stick sprays on the cookware as they cause an invisible buildup and impair the nonstick coating
of the nonstick and result in a reduced life of the coating.
Utensils
| Nylon, wooden, and plastic tools are recommended to maintain beauty of the stainless steel. Metal whisks and non-sharp metal utensils can be used, but may scratch the surface. In time, stainless will show wear from normal use.
Sliding cookware
| Avoid sliding or dragging cookware over the surface of your stovetop,
especially glass top ranges, as scratches may result and are not covered by
the guarantee.
---|---
Keep Clean
| Do not use cookware as a food storage container, which
clean when not in use.
Cool Down|
Always allow cookware to cool before immersing in water.
Instruction
If the non-stick performance declines, it can be from residue buildup on the surface. Other residue can form from misuse, such as burned grease or food residue. In either case, a deep cleaning of the nonstick surface can help restore the non-stick performance. You can try soaking overnight in hot soapy water, and then thoroughly washing the cookware the next morning.
SAFEGUARDS
Steam and splatter:
Keep children away from the stove while cooking. Be careful around the stove as heat, steam, and splatter can cause burns.
Unattended cooking:
Never allow cookware to boil dry or leave an empty cookware on a hot burner as the cookware can get extremely hot. This could lead to warping or damage of the nonstick coating
Fumes:
Do not overheat your nonstick cookware as smoke or fumes from burning foods, oils, and the non-stick coating itself can be hazardous to the respiratory systems of pet birds.
Gas flames:
Gas flames should not extend up the sides of the cookware. This will damage the exterior of the cookware and handle, voiding the guarantee.
Hot handles:
Always use a heat-resistant oven mitt or pad when handling hot handles.
Cooktop surface:
For use on induction, flat glass, or ceramic cooktop surfaces, consult the manufacturer’s instruction manual before first use.
