Operating Instructions
Stovetop and Oven Compatibility
Your Caraway cookware is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges. All pieces are oven safe up to 550°F (288°C), allowing for seamless transitions from stovetop to oven cooking.

Heat Settings
Due to the efficient heat distribution of ceramic, it is recommended to use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat should be avoided as it can damage the non-stick coating over time and is generally unnecessary.
Utensil Use
To preserve the non-stick surface, always use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils. Avoid metal utensils, as they can scratch and damage the coating.
Cooking with Non-stick
The ceramic non-stick surface requires minimal oil or butter. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that may affect the non-stick performance. A small amount of butter or cooking oil is sufficient for most recipes.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Caraway cookware.
Cleaning
- Hand Wash Only: Caraway cookware is not dishwasher safe. Always hand wash your pots and pans.
- Cool Down: Allow cookware to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and thermal shock to the ceramic coating.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
Storage
Utilize the provided magnetic pan racks and canvas lid holder to store your cookware. This prevents scratching and chipping that can occur when stacking pans directly on top of each other.
Troubleshooting
Food Sticking
- Excessive Heat: Using high heat can cause food to stick and may damage the non-stick coating. Always cook on low to medium heat.
- Insufficient Fat: While non-stick, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is still recommended to aid in food release and flavor.
- Residue Buildup: Over time, residue from cooking sprays or improper cleaning can build up, reducing non-stick performance. Ensure thorough cleaning after each use.
Discoloration
Minor discoloration on the exterior or interior of the cookware can occur over time, especially with high heat use. This is normal and does not affect the performance or safety of the cookware. For light stains, a Caraway cleaning eraser (if provided) or a paste of baking soda and water can be used gently.
