CLEANING YOUR COOKWARE

• Carefully wipe off any drips which occur during cooking immediately for easier clean up later.Do not pour cold water into hot cookware, as this may cause warping or oil to splatter and may affect the non-stick performance of your non-stick cookware.

• After each use, wash the inner and outer coatings of your pan with warm water, mild liquid detergent and a sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive wire wool or harsh scouring powder. This can scratch both the interior and exterior coating and is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

• Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive wire wool or harsh scouring powder. This can scratch both the interior and exterior coating and is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

• To remove stubborn stains, partially fill the cookware with three parts water to one part detergent or vinegar and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat source and set aside for a period to cool and allow these stains or deposits to soften; then wash in mild dishwashing detergent and warm water using a nonabrasive mesh pad or a soft brush.

• To help preserve the finish of the pan hand washing is recommended. The pans are dishwasher safe, however dishwasher may cause discoloration to the base, this in no way affects the performance of the pan. Discoloration is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

• Always dry cookware thoroughly after washing, paying particular attention to the rims, handles, rivets and other small spaces where water might collect.
  OVEN USE

• This cookware is oven safe to 450°F. Do not use above this temperature setting. Using above the temperature setting can cause discoloration and can permanently damage the cookware.

• In a convection oven, adjust the temperature in line with the oven manufacturer’s guidelines.

• Do not place empty cookware in a hot oven.

• Always use oven mitts when removing cookware from the oven. This cookware can used under a broiler. Ensure that the cookware and handle is at least 2” away from the heat source. Do not exceed the oven safe temperature when using cookware under the broiler / grill.

HANDLES, KNOBS & GLASS INSERT

• Glass lid is oven safe up to 450°F.
• The knob is stainless steel. Always use oven gloves when handling the pan or lid in and out of the oven.
• Always use oven gloves when handling the pan or glass lid.

COOKWARE USE

• This cookware is suitable for all cooktops including induction.
• We recommend not to cook on high heat as this may damage the non-stick coating, burn food, produce stains or damage the base of the product.
• Always choose a suitable sized flame or ring for the base of the pan. When using a gas cooktop, do not allow the flames to rise up along the sides of the pan. This could damage the cookware, coating and handles. Turn down the flame to prevent this from happening. If the flames do rise up along the sides of the pan, the stainless steel handles will get hot.
• Never heat fat or oil to the extent that it smokes, burns or turns black.
• After prolonged usage some minor discoloration of the non-stick coating may occur. This is quite normal and will not affect the non-stick properties of your cookware.
• Never heat an empty pan or allow to boil dry. This may damage the coating or base. If this occurs, turn off the heat and allow the cookware to cool completely before attempting to move it from the cooktop.
• Your cookware interior is lined with the high quality Dura-Pan® non-stick which allows for easy food release and clean up.
• While the interior of the pan is metal utensil safe, we do recommend that you use nylon, wooden or silicone utensils to prolong the life of your non-stick cookware. Do not use sharp edged utensils on the non-stick surface.
• Do not use a knife or any pointed tip utensils to cut or pierce food directly on the non-stick surface as this could cause permanent damage and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Do not gouge the non-stick surface.
• Always clean & dry the base of your cookware before cooking, especially if you use it on a ceramic or halogen cooktop otherwise the pan may stick to the hob.
• Avoid dragging or sliding cookware over the cooktop surface as this may damage your cook top surface. Take special care when you’re using a glass cooktop or any other surface that may scratch easily. We do not take responsibility for scratched cooktops.
• Depending on your cooktop type, the base of your pan may become marked or scratched. This is normal. Center your pan over the heat source (this prevents damage to the handle and exterior coating). Small pans may need careful placement on the support legs of gas cooktops.

STORAGE

• To protect your non-stick coating, do not stack or nest cookware inside each other without a protective sheath (ie. tea towel) in between.

GENERAL SAFETY ADVICE

• Cookware should never be used in a microwave.
• Ensure cookware is stable on the cooktop surface to prevent tipping.
• Never leave cookware unattended on a hot cooktop.
• Continuous high heat or over heating may shorten the life of cookware, cause discoloration and damage both in the interior and exterior surface.
• Never leave the handle of your pan sticking out over another hob.
• Never put a hot pan on the floor or near the edge of a kitchen surface. Let it cool down and keep out of reach of children.
• Use the lid to prevent burns caused by hot ingredients splattering.
• In general, we recommend using oven mitts when holding handles on cookware and lids.
• In the event of a pan fire, turn off the heat supply and place a dampened towel over the pan and leave for 30 minutes before removing.
