Safety Instructions

• Material Safety: This cookware features a natural ceramic coating that is free from intentionally added PFOA, PTFE, PFAS, lead, and cadmium. It does not produce toxic fumes even if overheated, and the coating will not detach into your food.
• Oven Use: Cookware is oven safe up to 550°F (287°C). Always remove the bakelite handles before placing any pan in the oven.
• Handle Safety: The woodgrain bakelite handles are designed to remain cool during stovetop cooking. However, always use caution and consider using oven mitts, especially during prolonged cooking or when handling hot pans.
• Heat Settings: Use appropriate heat settings for your cooking needs. High heat can damage food and potentially the cookware over time. Medium to low heat is often sufficient due to the efficient heat distribution.
• Utensil Compatibility: To protect the nonstick surface, use only silicone or wooden utensils. Avoid metal utensils, which can scratch the coating.
• Children and Pets: Keep hot cookware out of reach of children and pets.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all cookware pieces and accessories from the packaging. Dispose of packaging materials responsibly.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all cookware pieces with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Light Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal nonstick performance and longevity, lightly season the interior surface. Apply a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola) to a paper towel and gently rub it over the entire nonstick surface. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then let it cool. Wipe off any excess oil. This step helps to condition the surface.

Cooking Guidelines

• Preheating: Preheat your pan over low to medium heat for 1-2 minutes before adding food. This allows for even heat distribution.
• Oil Usage: While the nonstick surface allows for cooking with less oil, a small amount of oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to enhance nonstick performance.
• Heat Settings: Due to the efficient heat conduction of cast aluminum, medium to low heat settings are generally sufficient for most cooking tasks. High heat should be avoided as it can lead to overheating and potential damage to the nonstick surface over time.
• Lids: The tempered glass lids allow you to monitor cooking progress without lifting, helping to retain moisture and heat.
• Oven Use: For oven use up to 550°F (287°C), ensure bakelite handles are removed.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• Hand Washing Recommended: This cookware set is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the nonstick coating and overall lifespan of the cookware.
• Cool Down First: Always allow the cookware to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
• Gentle Cleaning: Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm water for a few minutes before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scrubbing pads, which can damage the nonstick surface.
• Drying: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Storage

• Pot Protectors: Use the included reusable pot protectors when stacking cookware to prevent scratches and damage to the nonstick coating.
• Hang or Stack Carefully: If hanging, ensure pans are not rubbing against each other. If stacking, always use the pot protectors between each piece.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking:
  • Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food.
  • Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter.
  • Avoid using excessively high heat, which can degrade the nonstick surface over time.
  • Re-season the pan with a thin layer of oil if nonstick performance diminishes.
• Uneven Heating:
  • Ensure the cookware size matches the burner size for optimal heat distribution.
  • Verify that your stovetop is level.
• Handles Becoming Hot:
  • While bakelite handles are designed to stay cool, prolonged exposure to high heat or direct flame can cause them to heat up. Use oven mitts if necessary.
  • Ensure pan handles are not directly over other active burners.
• Scratches on Nonstick Surface:
  • Always use silicone or wooden utensils. Avoid metal utensils.
  • Use pot protectors when stacking for storage.
