WARNING
- DANGER: Use extra caution when cooking with hot fat and never leave the pot or pan unattended on a hot stove. Extinguish burning fat with are blanket fire extinguisher. Never throw water into burning fat as it will expand the fire.
- . WARNING: Avoid contact with hot oil, water or foods as this may cause serious burns or scalding.
- Do not place extremely cold / frozen foods or liquids into a hot stainless steel pan or pan as it may result in excessive steam, spitting and spattering causing burns or scalding.
- Avoid touching the hot pots or pans without adequate protection, such as an oven mitt.
- CAUTION: Overheating can damage the pots and pans. Never leave them unattended on the cooker; if smoke develops in the kitchen, ventilate thoroughly.
- Never heat up pots and pans for a long time when empty and ensure that the liquid in the food does not evaporate completely, as this may damage the pots and pans or the hob.
- Do not expose a hot pot or pan to cold water as this may cause warping and/or other damage.
- Keep the pots and pans out of reach of children less than 8 years old.
- When handling pots or pans used for cooking in an oven, use oven mitts or other suitable protection as the handles will get very hot.
- Stainless steel pots and pans do not microwave safe.
- Westinghouse stainless steel cookware can be used with induction, halogen, ceramic, gas and electric cooktops. The pans and pots are suitable for oven use up to a maximum of 150 degrees celcius. The lids are not suitable for oven use.
- Do not place hot pots or pans on dining tables, kitchen tops or other surfaces without the use of a wooden board, heat mat or trivet underneath for surface protection.
- . Wood, nylon and plastic utensils are recommended for the avoidance of scratching of the pots and pans.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Remove any stickers before using the pots and pans for the first time.
- Wash the pot or pan using hot water and mild detergent. Rinse with fresh water.
- Briefly boil the water in the pot/pan, rinse out and dry well. It is now ready for use.
- Stainless steel cookware does not require seasoning.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOD PREPARATION
- The best cooking results are achieved at medium or low temperatures.
- Use higher temperature setting only to heat up, turn down the heat in good time and finish cooking the food at medium heat.
- Use lower temperature setting especially when cooking with little liquid or little fat.
- When frying with fat always place the fat into the empty pot or pan before heating it up.
- Turn up the heat to medium/medium-high temperature at most. Turn down the heat when the fat begins to smoke lightly. Then lay the food to be fried into the pot or pan.
- Use butter for egg, fish, flour and potato dishes. Use oil and hard fat for meat (without breading) only.
- Once a dish has cooked, remove the food from the pot.
- Acidic foods and salt may corrode stainless steel. When using vinegar, wine, lemon or making a salt brine, consider using an enameled cast iron pot instead.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ON INDUCTION HOBS
Induction is a very rapid heat source. Use caution and do not heat up pots and
pans when empty as this may damage the pots and pans or the hob. At a high-
temperature setting, there may be a humming sound. This occurs for technical
reasons and does not indicate a fault on the cookware or the hob.
Pay attention to matching the diameter of the cookware base and the size of
the hob. When the diameter is too small the magnetic field of the induction
hob may not react to the pot or pan base and heating will not occur properly.
CLEANING & CARE
- Allow the pots and pans to cool down before cleaning.
- Clean the pots and pans after cooling down as soon as possible with hot water and mild detergent. The Westinghouse stainless steel pots and pans are also dishwasher safe.
- Do not use an abrasive scour on your stainless pots and pans. If food has burned, cover the burn with baking soda and allow to soak. Then remove the burned area using a non-scratch scouring pad.
- Use of steel wool and cleaning fluids containing abrasives is not recommended.
- Avoid using any abrasive cloths, sponges or cleaning materials on the glass lids.
- Dry completely before moving to storage. Store in a dry place away from steam and humidity where possible.
- Slight discoloration of the surface of the pots and pans that may occur does not affect the quality and functionality of the product.
