Use and Care Manual

Thank you for choosing our cookware. To assure a long
and pleasant experience, please read this information
before you use your cookware. These instructions are for
your general safety, use and care to avoid personal injury
and damage to your cookware.
COOKING
General:
• Safety: Keep small children away from the stove while you are
cooking. Never allow a child to sit near or under the stove
while cooking. Be careful around the stove as heat, steam and
splatter can cause burns.
• Pet Warning: Fumes from everyday cooking can be harmful to
your bird and other small pets, particularly smoke from burning
foods. Overheating cooking sprays, oils, fats, margarine and
butter will create dangerous fumes which a bird’s respiratory
system cannot handle. Scorched plastic handles or utensils can
also contaminate the air and endanger birds and other pets.
Nonstick cookware with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
coating can also emit fumes harmful to birds. Never allow a
pan to overheat and never cook with birds or small pets in or
near the kitchen.
• Unattended Cooking: Caution: NEVER LEAVE AN EMPTY
PAN ON AN ACTIVE BURNER. Any material, if heated
continuously at a high enough temperature, will begin to
decompose, causing damage to the stove top, cookware
and/or personal injury.
- Aluminum with Stainless or Copper Base: WARNING: IF
YOUR ALUMINUM CORE COOKWARE IS EXPOSED
TO PROLONGED OVERHEATING, OR ALLOWED TO
BOIL DRY ON A HOT BURNER WITHOUT LIQUID OR
MOIST FOOD, THE ALUMINUM CORE MAY MELT
AND SEPARATE THE BASE FROM THE PAN
RELEASING HOT MOLTEN ALUMINUM THAT MAY
RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE. If your cookware is overheated and
boils dry and you see molten aluminum near the base, do not
pick up your cookware. Turn burner o, leave cookware on
the stove, and let cool before moving.
- Stainless Steel: These pans may become discolored or
warped if allowed to boil dry.
• Match Pan Size to Burner Size: Use burners that are the same
size as the pan you are using. Adjust gas flame so that it does
not extend up the sides of the pan.
• Sliding Pans: Avoid sliding or dragging your cookware over
the surface of your stovetop, especially glass top ranges,
as scratches may result. We are not responsible for
scratched stovetops.
• Microwaves: Never use your cookware in the microwave.
• Oven Use: Caution: Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing cookware from the oven. Cookware with stainless
steel handles is oven safe to 500°F/260°C. Cookware with
rubberized handles is oven safe to 400°F/200°C.
• Broiler: Never place a nonstick pan under the broiler. Only
cookware with metal handles and without a nonstick coating is
broiler safe.
• Utensils: Do not use metal or sharp-edged utensils in nonstick
pans. Metal utensils will scratch both stainless steel and
nonstick surfaces. Scratches and peeling due to metal utensil
use is not covered under warranty.
• This cookware is not intended for commercial use
or restaurant use.
Nonstick Cookware:
• Standard Care: Using low to medium heat can preserve the
cookware's exterior and nonstick interior coatings as well as
preserve the nutrients in food. High heat may damage the
cookware’s coating, voiding the warranty.
• Nonstick Sprays: Do not use nonstick cooking sprays on
nonstick cookware — an invisible buildup will impair the
nonstick release system and food will stick in your pan.
• Oil: If you prefer to keep the use of cooking oil to a minimum,
you can dab your favorite oil on a paper towel and carefully
wipe the interior of the pan before cooking. Heavy vegetable
oils may leave a residue that can aect nonstick performance.
Use low heat when heating up oils. Oils can quickly overheat
and cause a fire.
CLEANING
• Standard Care: Before first use and after each use, wash pans
thoroughly with mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. If
food remains on the surface, boil a mixture of water and
vinegar into the pan to dislodge the food particles.
• Spots and Stains:
- Never use oven cleaners to clean cookware. They will ruin
the cookware.
- Hard-Anodized: To lessen a stain, make a paste of baking
soda and water, apply to pan and scrub with a nonabrasive
plastic mesh pad such as Scotch Brite
®
. Do not use steel
wool, coarse scouring pads or powder. Please note that plain
hard-anodized exterior cookware is porous. Staining will
occur if food is spilled or allowed to boil over onto the
exterior of the pan.
- Stainless Steel or Nonstick: A spotted white film may form
which can be removed with a mild solution of water and
lemon juice or vinegar.
• Dishwasher:
- Hard-Anodized or Porcelain Enamel: These types of
cookware are NOT dishwasher safe. Hand wash only.
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel cookware is dishwasher safe.
However, over time, the harsh dishwasher detergents may
dull the stainless steel finish.
• Storage: To avoid scratches or chips on the cookware exterior,
place paper towels between pans when storing.
HANDLES AND KNOBS
Caution:
• Hot Handles and Knobs: Handles and knobs can get very hot
under some conditions. Use caution when touching them and
always have potholders available for use.
• Handle Position when Cooking: Position pans so that handles
are not over other hot burners. Do not allow handles to extend
beyond the edge of the stove where pans can be knocked o
the cooktop. When cooking on a gas stove, place the pan on
the burner with the handle lined up with one of the burner
grate arms to help prevent the pan from tipping.
• Loose Handles: Periodically, check handles and knobs to be
sure they are not loose. NEVER USE A PAN THAT HAS A
LOOSE HANDLE.
LIDS
• Steam: When removing lids or cooking with steam vented lids,
always position the lid so that the steam is directed away from
you. Always use a potholder when adjusting lids with steam
vents. Rising steam can cause burns.
• Locking Lids: Make certain that the lid is locked securely when
using straining pots or other cookware with locking lids. This
will prevent escaping steam or hot liquid, which will cause
burns. Always double check that the lid is locked before
straining or draining and always strain and drain away from
your body. Do not use straining lids on other cookware pieces.
• Glass Lids:
- Cracks and Scratches: Do not use glass lids that have cracks
or scratches. If your lid is cracked or has deep scratches,
breakage can occur spontaneously. Please contact
Consumer Relations for a replacement.
- Cleaning: Never use metal utensils, sharp instruments or
harsh abrasives that may scratch and weaken the glass.
- Temperature Extremes: 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 or place on cold surfaces. Glass lids are
not broiler safe.
• Lid Vacuum: A lid left on a pan after turning down the heat or
turning the burner o, may result in a vacuum that causes the
lid to seal to the pan. Using a lid made for another pan can also
cause a lid vacuum. If a lid vacuum occurs, DO NOT attempt
to remove the lid from pan in any way. If your lid is vacuum
sealed to your pan, return it to the burner on low heat so that
the air inside the pan warms and expands, and releases the
seal. The lid should lift eortlessly from the pan. To avoid a lid
seal, remove the lid or set it ajar before turning heat o.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERAMIC/GLASS
STOVETOPS
Always follow your stovetop manufacturer’s instructions for
correct stovetop use and for specific cookware restrictions.
We recommend the use of flat-bottomed stainless steel or
hard-anodized exterior cookware on ceramic/glass cooktops.
Overheating or allowing porcelain enameled or silicone
polyester cookware to boil dry can result in the fusing of the
cookware to your ceramic/glass stovetop requiring replacement
of the stovetop. Meyer Corporation U.S. will not be responsible
for damage to stovetops.
Never place a hot pan on a cool ceramic/glass stovetop
burner. This can also cause fusion of the pan to the
stovetop. Before using a double burner griddle or other large
cookware pieces that are manufactured to sit over two
stovetop burners, consult the stove manufacturer’s manual
to ensure that your ceramic/glass stovetop has a bridge
between the two burners you intend to use. If your stovetop
does not have a bridge between the burners, DO NOT USE
YOUR DOUBLE BURNER GRIDDLE OR OTHER
LARGE COOKWARE PIECES — it may fuse to your
stovetop, causing stovetop damage.
Cookware bases should be flat for even heat conduction.
Decorative pan bottoms may not conduct heat evenly.
Do not drag or scrape cookware across your ceramic/glass
stovetop. This can cause scratches or marks on your stovetop.
Meyer Corporation U.S. will not be responsible
for stovetop damage.
