Setup and First Use

Unpacking: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. Retain packaging for potential future transport or storage.
Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all cookware, bakeware, and utensils with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Conditioning (Optional for Ceramic Non-Stick): While not strictly necessary for ceramic non-stick, some users prefer to lightly condition the cooking surface. Apply a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola) to the non-stick surface with a paper towel, then wipe off any excess. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then let it cool. This can help maintain non-stick properties over time.
Handle Assembly: Ensure all handles are securely attached. If any handles feel loose, tighten them with a screwdriver if applicable.

Operating Instructions

General Cooking Guidelines

Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating and may cause food to stick. The ceramic non-stick surface heats efficiently, so excessive heat is rarely required.
Utensil Compatibility: To preserve the ceramic non-stick coating, use only plastic, silicone, or wooden utensils. Avoid metal utensils, as they can scratch and damage the surface.
Oil/Butter Use: While the non-stick coating reduces the need for excessive oil, a small amount of cooking oil or butter can enhance flavor and browning.
Cool-Touch Handles: The cookware features cool-touch handles designed for comfortable and safe handling during cooking. Always exercise caution, as handles can still become warm, especially during prolonged cooking or when used in the oven.
Tempered Glass Lids: The see-through tempered glass lids allow you to monitor cooking progress without lifting the lid, helping to retain heat and moisture. Steam vents prevent excessive pressure buildup.

Cooktop Compatibility

Your NutriChef cookware is compatible with various cooktop types:

Gas Cooktops
Electric Cooktops
Ceramic Cooktops
Induction Cooktops (Note: The small egg pan and milk pot are not induction compatible due to their size.)

Oven Use

Most NutriChef cookware and bakeware items are oven safe up to 400°F (204°C). Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot items from the oven.

Baking Instructions

The included bakeware features a ceramic non-stick coating for easy release and cleaning. Follow standard baking recipes and temperature guidelines. Always grease and flour pans as directed by your recipe, even with non-stick surfaces, for optimal results.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

Hand Washing (Recommended): For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended.
Dishwasher Safe: The cookware and bakeware are dishwasher safe. However, frequent dishwasher use may dull the exterior finish over time.
Stubborn Food Residue: For stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, let it soak for 15-20 minutes, then clean with a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
Drying: Always dry items thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain appearance.

Storage

When stacking cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between items to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.

Non-Toxic Materials

NutriChef cookware is constructed with non-toxic, food-grade materials and is free from Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS), Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Food sticking to non-stick surface	Excessive heat, damaged coating, insufficient oil.	Use low to medium heat. Ensure only non-metal utensils are used. Lightly condition the pan with oil before cooking.
Staining or discoloration	High heat, certain spices (e.g., turmeric), mineral deposits from water.	Avoid very high heat. Clean promptly after use. For mineral deposits, boil a mixture of water and vinegar in the pan, then wash.
Handles getting hot	Prolonged cooking, high heat, oven use.	Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware, especially after oven use or extended cooking.
Cookware not working on induction cooktop	Small egg pan or milk pot being used, or cooktop not detecting the base.	Ensure you are not using the small egg pan or milk pot, as these are not induction compatible. Verify the cookware is centered on the induction zone.
