Setup and Before First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove all cookware and accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
- Wash: Before initial use, wash all pots, pans, and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Season Nonstick Pan (Optional but Recommended): For the ceramic nonstick frying pan, lightly rub a small amount of cooking oil onto the nonstick surface with a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and let cool. Wipe off any excess oil. This helps to condition the nonstick surface.

Operating Instructions
Heat Management:
- Low to Medium Heat: The encapsulated base of this cookware provides excellent heat distribution. Most cooking tasks can be performed effectively using low to medium heat settings. High heat is generally not required and can lead to scorching or damage.
- Even Heating: The extra thick, edge-to-edge, full-cap base ensures fast and even heat distribution, reducing hot spots.
- Stovetop Compatibility: This cookware set is compatible with Gas, Electric, and Induction stovetops.
Cooking with Nonstick:
- The ceramic nonstick frying pan offers effortless food release and easy cleanup.
- Always use the included beechwood utensils or other non-metal utensils (plastic, silicone, wood) to protect the nonstick surface from scratches.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Dishwasher Safe: All pieces in this cookware set are designed to be dishwasher safe. For best results and to maintain the brilliant stainless steel finish, ensure proper loading and use of a mild detergent.
- Hand Washing: For optimal longevity, especially for the nonstick pan, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish and nonstick coating.
- Stubborn Food: If food is stuck, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.
- Drying: Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots, especially on the stainless steel surfaces.
Storage:
- Store cookware carefully to prevent scratching of surfaces, particularly the nonstick interior. Placing a paper towel or cloth between stacked pans can help.
