Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all cookware and accessories from the packaging.
2. Wash: Before first use, wash all pieces in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately 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 of frying pans before first use and heat gently. This can help create a natural non-stick layer over time.

Heat Management

• Preheating: Preheat cookware before adding food to help prevent sticking. Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling liquids.
• Even Heating: The encapsulated base promotes even heat distribution, reducing hot spots.
• Stay-Cool Handles: Handles are designed to stay cool during normal stovetop use. Always use oven mitts when handling hot cookware, especially after oven use.

Oven Safety

Pots, pans, and lids are oven safe up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Always use oven mitts when transferring cookware to and from the oven.

Lids

The tempered-glass lids allow you to monitor cooking progress without lifting the lid, helping to lock in heat and moisture.

Pouring

Rolled rims on the pots and pans are designed for convenient, mess-free pouring of liquids.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Dishwasher Safe: The fully encapsulated impact-bonded base allows for dishwasher cleaning.
• Handwashing: For best results and to maintain the polished finish, handwashing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended.
• Stubborn Food: For stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, let it soak for a while, then clean with a non-abrasive scrubber.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh detergents, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.

Storage

Store cookware carefully to prevent scratching. Placing a cloth or paper towel between stacked pans can help protect the surfaces.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Avoid using cooking sprays, which can leave a residue that is difficult to remove and may cause sticking.
• Discoloration: High heat can sometimes cause stainless steel to discolor (blue or rainbow tint). This is harmless and can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water.
• Water Spots: To prevent water spots, dry cookware immediately after washing.
