Safety Instructions

• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware, especially when removing from the oven or after prolonged stovetop use, as handles may become hot.
• Do not leave cookware unattended on a hot stovetop.
• Ensure the lid is properly seated to prevent steam burns.
• Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick coating. Silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils are recommended.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• The deep pan is oven-safe up to 465°F (240°C). The lid is not oven-safe.

Setup & First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and dispose of packaging materials responsibly.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all pans, the lid, fry basket, and steamer tray with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): Although the pans are non-stick, a light seasoning can further enhance performance. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil) to the interior surface of the pans. Heat on low to medium heat for 1-2 minutes, then let cool and wipe off any excess oil.

Operating Instructions

General Cooking

• The pans are compatible with gas, electric, induction, and ceramic stovetops.
• Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is rarely necessary due to the pan's efficient heat distribution.
• Always use a small amount of oil or butter to maximize non-stick performance and flavor.
• The deep square pan is oven-safe up to 465°F (240°C) without the lid.

Using the Deep Fry Basket

The deep fry basket is ideal for preparing fried foods like nuggets, fries, or tempura.

1. Place the deep fry basket into the deep square pan.
2. Fill the pan with cooking oil, ensuring the oil level is below the top edge of the basket and allows for food displacement.
3. Heat the oil to the desired temperature.
4. Carefully place food into the basket.
5. Once cooked, use the gripper/handle to lift the basket, allowing excess oil to drain back into the pan.

Using the Steamer Tray

The steamer tray allows you to steam vegetables, fish, or dumplings, promoting healthy cooking.

1. Add a small amount of water (about 1-2 inches) to the bottom of the deep square pan.
2. Place the steamer tray into the pan, ensuring it sits above the water level.
3. Place food on the steamer tray.
4. Cover the pan with the tempered glass lid.
5. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer until food is cooked.

Care & Maintenance

• Cleaning: The non-stick ceramic coating makes cleaning easy. Simply rinse with warm, soapy water and wipe with a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water before cleaning.
• Dishwasher Safe: The cookware set is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and overall longevity.
• Drying: Always dry the cookware thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its appearance.
• Storage: Store pans carefully to avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Placing a soft cloth or paper towel between stacked pans can help protect them.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Handles become hot during use.

Solution: This is normal for some cookware. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the pans, especially after prolonged cooking or oven use. The handles are designed for durability, not necessarily for cool-touch properties under all conditions.

Issue: Oil stains appear on the bottom of the pan.

Solution: Ensure the pan is clean and dry before each use. If oil overflows during deep frying, clean the exterior immediately after the pan has cooled. For stubborn stains, a mixture of baking soda and water can be used as a gentle abrasive, but avoid harsh chemicals or steel wool.

Issue: Food sticks to the non-stick surface.

Solution: Ensure you are using a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Avoid using high heat, which can degrade the non-stick coating over time. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the surface. If the coating is damaged, its non-stick properties will be reduced.
