Care Instructions Cookware First Use Before first use, remove labels, wash your pan in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. If you use electric heat sources, do not allow the heat source to extend beyond the base of the pan. In case of using a gas cooker, the gas flame should be held within the diameter of the pan. This prevents overheating of the handles. Use the highest temperature only to heat the food, then lower the heat in order to prepare the food. After use, always wash your cookware in hot soapy water, rinse with hot water and dry immediately. Never use cleaning products containing clorine or bleach as these could attack the stainless steel layer. Non stick coatings Avoid cutting into non-stick surfaces and use wooden and plastic utensils to maximise the life of your cookware. Lubricate the non-stick layer from time to time, so that it will last longer. For that, simply apply a very light layer of oil to coat the non-stick surface of the pan and let it stand for 10 minutes. Wipe away oil residue with a dry paper towel. Heat should be avoided with non-stick cookware except for limited periods of time such as when searing as repeated overheating can ware out the coating. In case something is burned, simply leave some water in your pan for a few hours. Never use coarse spunges to clean your pan. How to avoid the cookware from sticking A well heated pan does not stick. To know when your pan is ready for cooking (1 or 2 minutes on a heat source), put a drop of water in your pan. When oit starts to turn, the heating process has begun. How to remove....
These are caused by minerals in the water from the starch released by certain foods during the cooking process. Boil some water and vinegar or just pour a little lemon juice in your pan, rinse and dry carefully.
Soften the bits of food in boiling water, rinse and dry the pan.
Corrosion is caused by adding salt to cold water. Therefore it is recommended to always add salt to boiling water or warm food.
This discolouration is a normal reaction with stainless steel heat. Use a stainless steel or copper cleaner or just pour a little lemon juice or vinegar into the saucepan and wipe it clean with a paper towel or cloth. Scratches and/or dents It is possible for scratches to appear on stainless steel cookware especially when using metal utensils. However, scratches do not affect the performance of the cookware.
