Thank you for purchasing SPT cookware. This cookware is designed with a 3-ply capsulated base for
superior heat conductivity and even heat distribution. When properly cared for, this cookware will provide
many years of service. Follow the use and care suggestions below to preserve and maintain the
cookware’s original beauty.
Excalibur® Coating: world’s toughest non-stick coating especially designed for stainless steel cookware.
3-ply: 18/10 stainless steel inner layer bonded by aluminum center core and an induction stainless steel

ASSEMBLY
Assembly of the handle is required on certain models. Align the screw opening on the handle to that on
the pan, insert enclosed screw and tighten securely.
INITIAL USE
Before using for the first time, wash in hot, soapy water with a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and
dry immediately; or you may place cookware in a dishwasher.
USAGE
It is recommended to preheat on low heat for one to two minutes before adding food.
Do not use on high heat. Due to the aluminum-encapsulated base, this cookware is highly conductive
and efficient for quick, even heat distribution. Cooking on high heat will cause food to burn easily. It
is recommended to use low to medium setting for most cooking.
It is recommended to use plastic or wooden utensils.
Never leave this or any cookware empty over a hot burner.
When cooking over a gas burner, make sure the flame touches only the bottom. If the flame comes
up the sides, energy is wasted and the sides may become permanently discolored.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, fill with hot water and mild detergent; let stand until lukewarm. Use a
sponge or soft cloth to remove any food particles. Do not use steel wool or metal pads as these will
scratch the surface and diminish the beauty of the stainless steel. Rinse thoroughly and dry
immediately to prevent water spotting.
Salt residue can form small white dots or pits on the inner surface. This does not interfere with the
cookware’s performance but can diminish the appearance. To prevent this, bring liquids to a boil
before adding salt, then stir well. Or, add salt after food has started to cook.
Calcium in your water may leave a multicolored stain. This is from a harmless deposit and can be
removed with a little warm vinegar.
Certain food may leave a light residue or cloudy appearance (like pasta). This can be removed with a
commercial stainless steel cleaner.
If food is burned in the cookware, it may leave a stubborn black residue. If soaking does not loosen
it, fill cookware with one inch of water and add a small amount of dishwasher detergent. Bring
mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool, then drain and rinse. Wipe the
residue with a sponge or plastic/wooden spatula. Repeat if necessary.
Caution: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Perform this procedure under a hood with an
exhaust fan or in a well-ventilated room.
The exterior requires little maintenance. Wash with sponge and mild detergent, do not use steel wool
or scouring pads. If polishing is needed, use any commercial stainless steel cleaner.
Do not use knives or sharp objects to cut food in the cookware.
