Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all bakeware pieces from their packaging.
2. Wash: Before first use, wash all bakeware pieces in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Conditioning (Optional): While Calphalon nonstick bakeware is designed for superior release, a light coating of cooking spray or butter on the interior surface before each use can further enhance nonstick performance and extend the life of the coating. Avoid aerosol sprays containing propellants, which can leave a sticky residue.

Operating Instructions

General Baking Guidelines:

• Temperature Limit: Calphalon bakeware is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C). Do not exceed this temperature.
• Even Heating: The heavy-gauge steel core ensures even heat distribution for consistent baking results.
• Nonstick Performance: The interlocking nonstick layers provide excellent food release, making it easier to remove baked goods.
• Utensils: Use nylon, wooden, or silicone utensils to protect the nonstick surface. Metal utensils may scratch the coating.
• Cooling: Allow baked goods to cool slightly in the pan before attempting to remove them, unless otherwise specified by the recipe.

Using the Covered Pans:

The included lid is designed to fit both the 9" x 13" Cake Pan and the 9" x 13" Brownie Pan. This lid is ideal for convenient storage and transportation of your baked goods after they have cooled. Do not use the lid in the oven.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Dishwasher Safe: All pieces in this bakeware set are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the nonstick coating, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the nonstick surface.
• Drying: Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure you are using a light coating of cooking spray or butter, especially for recipes prone to sticking. Avoid using excessive heat, which can cause food to burn and stick.
• Uneven Baking: Verify your oven temperature with an oven thermometer. Ensure bakeware is placed in the center of the oven rack for optimal air circulation.
• Discoloration: Over time, some discoloration may occur due to high heat or certain foods. This is normal and does not affect the bakeware's performance.
