General Cooking Guidelines
• Before use: wash in 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 equal to or
smaller than the pan base diameter of the
pan in use. If cooking with gas, do not
allow the flame to go up the sides of
the pan.
• Do not pre-heat nonstick cookware,
even on low heat. Ingredients or a
cooking oil that works best with moderate
heat should be placed in the pan before
heating pan.
• Use low to medium heat for best
cooking results and to save energy. It is
recommended to begin cooking process
on low for 1–2 minutes before increasing
heat. Best results, especially with
proteins, are achieved when ingredients
are allowed to warm close to room
temperature before cooking.
• Do not leave an empty pan on a hot
burner or allow pan to boil dry. This
may damage the cookware.
• Cookware with silicone-grip handles
is oven safe up to 400 °F (204 °C).
Cookware with stainless steel handles
(without silicone grip inserts) is oven safe
up to 500 °F (260 °C).
• Do not place cookware with silicone-
grip handles under the broiler. Pans with
nonstick coating should not be used under
the broiler.
• When using roaster on a cooktop,
use low heat settings.
Induction
• Your cookware (excluding roaster)
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 or larger than 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 nonstick surface
made without PFOA. Avoid using sharp-
edged and metal utensils that may scratch
or cut the nonstick surface.
NOTE: Nonstick cookware featuring
Teflon
™
Platinum Plus coating may be used
with metal utensils.
• Do not cut inside the cookware.
• The use of aerosol cooking sprays with
nonstick cookware is not recommended.
• Use of non-stick pans under a broiler is
not recommended.
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 or
lukewarm 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.
For Cookware with Strain Lids:
• To maxmize the life of the nonstick
coating on the cookware, align the
strainer holes with the pour spout, then
gently insert lid.
