Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all cookware and bakeware from the packaging.
2. Wash: Before first use, wash all items with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Initial Conditioning (Optional): While not strictly necessary due to the advanced nonstick coating, some users prefer to lightly condition the cooking surface. Apply a small amount of cooking oil to a paper towel and gently rub it over the entire nonstick surface. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then let it cool and wipe off any excess oil.

Operating Instructions

Cooking on Stovetop

• Heat Settings: The Ceraluxe cookware conducts heat efficiently. Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling liquids. Excessive high heat can damage the nonstick coating over time.
• Oil/Butter: The nonstick surface is designed for cooking without oil or butter. If desired, a minimal amount can be used for flavor.
• Utensils: The cookware is metal utensil safe. However, to prolong the life of the nonstick coating, it is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils.

Oven Use

All Granitestone Ceraluxe cookware and bakeware are oven safe up to 500°F (260°C). This allows for seamless transition from stovetop to oven for finishing dishes or baking.

Lids

The cookware comes with vented tempered glass lids. The vent helps to prevent boil-overs and allows steam to escape, maintaining optimal cooking conditions.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Cool Down: Always allow cookware to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and thermal shock to the nonstick surface.
• Dishwasher Safe: All Granitestone Ceraluxe cookware and bakeware are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to extend the life of your cookware, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Storage: When storing, place a soft cloth or paper towel between stacked pans to protect the nonstick surface.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure you are using appropriate heat settings (low to medium). While designed for cooking without oil, a very small amount of oil or butter can be used if desired, especially for certain foods. Ensure the pan is clean and free of residue from previous cooking.
• Hot Handles: Some handles, particularly on lids or certain pan designs, may become hot during prolonged cooking or high heat use. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware.
• Discoloration: Over time, slight discoloration may occur, especially with frequent high-heat cooking. This does not affect the nonstick performance or safety of the cookware.
