General Cooking Guidelines
• Before use: wash in hot, soapy water,
rinse, and dry. Your cookware is also
dishwasher safe.
• Use potholders or oven mitts when
handling hot cookware.
• Place cookware on a burner close in
diameter to the pan in use. If cooking
with gas, do not allow the flame to go
up the sides of the pan.
• Do not leave an empty pan on a hot
burner or allow pan to boil dry. This
may damage the cookware finish.
• Cookware is oven safe up to 400 °F
(190 °C).
• Do not place cookware under the broiler.
Induction
• Your cookware features a stainless steel
stay-flat base designed for use with
induction cooking surfaces. It may also be
used on gas and electric cooktop surfaces.
• The diameter of the pan’s base should be
equal to the size of the induction element.
If the pan is too small, the element may
not sense the pan and will not activate.
Nonstick Surfaces
• This cookware features a PFOA-free
nonstick surface. Avoid using sharp-edged
and metal utensils that may scratch or cut
the nonstick surface.
• Do not cut inside the cookware.
Cooking
USING YOUR COOKWARE
• Do not use glass lids that have cracks
or scratches. If your lid is cracked or
has deep scratches, breakage can occur
spontaneously. Damage from ordinary
wear and tear, such as scratching, is not
covered under product’s limited warranty.
• Do not place glass lids directly on top
of or directly under heating elements.
• Avoid extreme temperature changes
when using glass lids.
• Do not submerge a hot lid in cold water.
• If a lid vacuum occurs, do not attempt
to remove the lid. First, turn off the heat
source and move the entire pan away
from the burner. Then, slowly release
the lid.
Using the Glass Lid (if included)
• The stainless steel handles with matching
silicone grips are oven safe up to 400 °F
(190 °C).
• Handle position when cooking – position
pans so that handles are not over other
hot burners, and do not allow handles
to extend beyond the edge of the stove
where they can be knocked off.
• Loose handles – periodically check handles
and knobs to be sure they are not loose.
If the handles become loose, do not try
to repair them. Contact KitchenAid for
repair options or replacement.
