Operating Instructions

Preheating for Optimal Performance

To prevent food from sticking and ensure even cooking, preheat the casserole before adding food. Place the empty casserole on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. To test if it's ready, sprinkle a few drops of water into the pan. If the water beads up and dances across the surface, it's ready. If it evaporates immediately, the pan is too hot; remove it from heat, let it cool slightly, and try again. If the water just sits there, it's not hot enough; continue heating.

Cooking on Various Cooktops

Your Tramontina AEION TriPly Casserole is compatible with gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. Always match the base of the casserole to the size of the burner to maximize efficiency and prevent handle overheating on gas stoves.

Oven Use

The casserole is oven-safe up to 260°C (500°F). This allows for versatile cooking, such as starting a dish on the stovetop and finishing it in the oven.

Using the Lid

The precisely fitted 1mm thick stainless steel lid helps to trap steam and heat, reducing cooking time and preserving moisture and nutrients in your food. Use the lid whenever possible to enhance energy efficiency.

Internal Measurement Scale

The casserole features an internal measurement scale (liters and quarts) for convenient and accurate ingredient measurement directly in the pot.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Dishwasher Safe

Your Tramontina AEION TriPly Casserole is 100% dishwasher safe. For best results, load the cookware securely to prevent movement during the wash cycle.

Hand Washing

For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface. For stubborn food residue, soak the casserole in warm soapy water before cleaning.

Preventing Water Spots and Discoloration

To prevent water spots, dry the cookware immediately after washing. For discoloration caused by high heat or certain foods, a stainless steel cleaner can be used according to the product's instructions.

Antimicrobial Rivets

The antimicrobial stainless steel rivets are designed to prevent bacterial buildup, contributing to a hygienic cooking environment. Ensure these areas are cleaned thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the casserole is properly preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of oil or fat. Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the temperature and cause sticking.
• Discoloration/Blue Stains: This can occur due to high heat or mineral deposits from water. It does not affect cooking performance or safety. To remove, use a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water.
• Heat Not Evenly Distributed: Verify that the casserole base matches the burner size. On gas stoves, ensure flames do not extend beyond the base.
