Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if desired.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all parts (pot, basket, steamer, lid/grill pan) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal non-stick performance and longevity, lightly coat the interior non-stick surfaces with a small amount of cooking oil. Heat on low for 1-2 minutes, then let cool and wipe off excess oil.

Operating Instructions

The MasterPRO Foodies set offers four primary cooking functions:

1. Deep Frying

• Place the main pot on your stovetop.
• Fill the pot with cooking oil to a safe level, ensuring enough space for food without overflowing.
• Heat the oil to the desired temperature.
• Carefully place food into the frying basket.
• Lower the basket into the hot oil.
• Once food is cooked, use the basket handle to safely lift the food out of the oil, allowing excess oil to drain.

2. Steaming

• Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the main pot (ensure water does not touch the steamer rack).
• Place the steamer rack inside the main pot.
• Arrange your food (vegetables, fish, etc.) on the steamer rack.
• Cover the pot with the glass lid.
• Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, allowing steam to cook the food.

3. Stewing / Braising

• Use the main pot as a traditional casserole or stew pot.
• Add ingredients and liquids as per your recipe.
• Cover with the glass lid to retain moisture and heat.
• Cook over appropriate heat settings on your stovetop or in the oven (ensure handles are oven-safe if using in oven, generally cast aluminum is oven safe but check maximum temperature).

4. Grilling

• Invert the glass lid to use its ribbed side as a grill pan.
• Place the grill pan on your stovetop over medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the grilling surface if desired.
• Place food directly onto the hot grill pan to achieve grill marks and even cooking.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your MasterPRO Foodies cookware set.

• Hand Washing Recommended: Although the product description may suggest dishwasher compatibility, the official specifications state that the product is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the non-stick coating and overall finish, hand washing is strongly recommended.
• Cleaning Procedure: Wash all components with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
• Stubborn Food: For stubborn food residues, soak the pot or pan in warm soapy water for a short period before cleaning.
• Drying: Dry all parts thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain appearance.
• Storage: Store the cookware in a way that prevents scratching of the non-stick surface. Placing paper towels or soft cloths between stacked items is advisable.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your cookware set.

• Food Sticking:

  Ensure you are using a small amount of oil or fat, even with non-stick surfaces. Overheating can also damage the non-stick coating over time. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface.
• Uneven Cooking:

  While the cast aluminum is designed for even heat distribution, ensure your stovetop burner size matches the base of the pot or pan. Preheating the cookware properly before adding food can also help.

• Handles Getting Hot:

  The handles are made of aluminum and can become hot during cooking. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware.
