Setup and First Use

Before using your new Farberware cookware for the first time, please follow these steps:

1. Wash Thoroughly: Wash all cookware pieces and lids in warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry immediately.
2. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): For enhanced nonstick performance, lightly coat the interior of the nonstick pans with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil) using a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and wipe clean. Repeat this process once.
3. Read Instructions: Familiarize yourself with the care and use instructions provided in this manual to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your cookware.

Operating Instructions

This cookware set is designed for versatile cooking across various heat sources:

• Stovetop Compatibility: The cookware features edge-to-edge steel bases, making it suitable for all stovetops, including gas, electric, glass-ceramic, and induction.
• Oven Safety: Pans are oven safe up to 500°F (260°C). Lids are oven safe up to 350°F (175°C). Always use oven mitts when handling hot cookware.
• Ceramic Nonstick: The healthy ceramic nonstick cooking surfaces require little to no oil when cooking and release food easily. While minimal oil is needed, a small amount can enhance flavor and browning.
• Heat Distribution: The forged-aluminum bodies provide excellent heat distribution, ensuring quicker and more even cooking than traditional aluminum designs.
• Lids: The tempered-glass lids allow you to monitor food without lifting, locking in heat and moisture. The stockpot and saute pan lids are designed to also fit the 10-inch frying pan.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Farberware cookware:

• Cleaning: This cookware is dishwasher safe for convenient and effortless cleanup. However, handwashing is recommended for best performance and to preserve the exterior finish. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the nonstick surface and exterior finish.
• Utensils: While the nonstick surface is durable, using wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils is recommended to prevent scratching. Avoid metal utensils.
• Cooking Sprays: Avoid using aerosol cooking sprays, as they can build up over time and leave a residue that is difficult to remove and may affect the nonstick performance.
• Storage: When storing, place a soft cloth or paper towel between stacked pans to prevent scratching the nonstick surface and exterior.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your cookware, consider the following common solutions:

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of oil or butter, even with nonstick, for optimal results. Avoid high heat settings for extended periods, as this can degrade the nonstick coating over time.
• Uneven Heating: Verify that the cookware is centered on the heat source. For induction cooktops, ensure the base size matches the burner size for efficient heat transfer.
• Exterior Discoloration: This can occur from high heat or certain foods. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive heat can help prevent this. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner designed for cookware exteriors may be used.
• Lid Handles Getting Hot: While handles are designed for comfort, prolonged exposure to high heat can cause them to warm. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot lids or handles.
