4.2 Cooking Guidelines
- Heat Settings: Use appropriate heat settings for your cooking needs. Stainless steel heats efficiently, so medium to low heat is often sufficient for most tasks. High heat should be used sparingly and only for boiling water.
- Even Heat Distribution: The pots are designed to distribute heat uniformly across the base, ensuring thorough and even cooking of food.
- Ergonomic Handles: The handles are designed to stay cool during normal stovetop use. Always use caution and oven mitts when handling hot cookware, especially after prolonged cooking or oven use.
- Oven Use: The pots are oven-safe. Ensure glass lids are suitable for oven temperatures if used in the oven.

5. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wash pots and lids after each use. Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the finish. The stainless steel material resists food adhesion and fingerprints, making cleaning easier.
- Dishwasher Safe: The cookware is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is often preferred to preserve the shine and extend the lifespan of the product.
- Stubborn Stains: For stubborn food residues, soak the pot in warm soapy water before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
- Storage: Store pots and lids in a dry place. To prevent scratches when stacking, place a cloth or paper towel between each piece.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Food sticking to the bottom | Too high heat; insufficient oil/liquid; pan not preheated properly. | Reduce heat. Use adequate oil or liquid. Ensure pan is heated to the correct temperature before adding food. |
| Discoloration on stainless steel | Overheating; mineral deposits from water; certain foods. | Clean with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water. Avoid extreme high heat. |
| Handles getting too hot | Prolonged high heat cooking; oven use; flame extending up the sides of the pot on gas stoves. | Use lower heat settings. Ensure gas flames do not extend beyond the base of the pot. Always use oven mitts when handling hot cookware. |
