Feel Maestro MR-3531-6 Saucepans User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Feel Maestro MR-3531-6 Saucepans set. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use, care, and maintenance of your new cookware. Please read this manual thoroughly before first use and retain it for future reference.

Important Safety Instructions

• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot saucepans, as handles can become hot during cooking.
• Do not leave cookware unattended on a hot stovetop.
• Ensure saucepans are stable on the stovetop to prevent tipping.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing a hot saucepan under cold water, as this may cause warping or damage.
• Keep children and pets away from the cooking area.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as they can scratch the stainless steel surface.
• Always lift, do not slide, cookware on glass or ceramic stovetops to prevent scratching.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all saucepans and lids from their packaging. Retain packaging for potential future storage or transport.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all saucepans and lids thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely to prevent water spots.
3. Seasoning (Optional for Stainless Steel): While not strictly necessary for stainless steel, some users prefer to lightly oil the interior surface before first use to enhance non-stick properties over time. Heat on low for a few minutes, then wipe excess oil.

Operating Instructions

Cooking with Your Saucepans

• Heat Source Compatibility: These saucepans are suitable for use on Induction, Ceramic, Electric Cooker, and Gas stovetops.
• Using the Right Size Burner: Always match the saucepan's base diameter to the burner size to ensure even heating and energy efficiency.
• Medium Heat Cooking: Stainless steel cookware heats efficiently. For most cooking tasks, medium heat is sufficient. High heat should only be used for boiling water or searing, and only for short periods to prevent scorching and discoloration.
• Lid Usage: The glass lids allow you to monitor cooking progress without lifting, helping to retain heat and moisture.
• Oven Use: The saucepans are oven safe. Ensure the maximum oven temperature does not exceed the manufacturer's recommendations for the handles and lids (typically up to 350°F / 175°C for glass lids with plastic components, or higher if all components are metal).

Preventing Food from Sticking

To minimize sticking, especially with delicate foods:

• Preheat the saucepan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes before adding oil or food.
• Add a small amount of cooking oil or butter once the pan is hot.
• Allow food to reach room temperature before placing it in the hot pan.
• Do not overcrowd the pan, as this can lower the temperature and lead to steaming instead of browning.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Cool Down: Always allow saucepans to cool completely before washing. Soaking a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to preserve the finish, hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Stubborn Food: For stuck-on food, fill the saucepan with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, then let it soak for 15-30 minutes before cleaning. For very stubborn residue, gently scrub with a nylon brush or non-abrasive pad.
• Drying: Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
• Dishwasher Safety: While stainless steel is generally dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use may dull the finish over time. Hand washing is recommended for longevity.

Storage

Store saucepans in a dry place. To prevent scratching when stacking, place a cloth or paper towel between pans.
