Amazon Basics Non-Stick Cookware

Important Safety Instructions

Read these instructions carefully and keep them for future use. If this product is passed to a third party, then these instructions must be included.

When using the product, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of injury including the following:

• Remove all labels and packaging materials.
• For cookware with a non-stick interior, it is recommended to "season" the pan prior to first use. Wash the cookware thoroughly and dry. Heat each pan on low for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and put on tablespoon of vegetable oil in each pan. Rub the oil over the entire surface with a paper towel. Repeat after every 10 dishwasher cycles or if accidental overheating occurs.
• When removing lids during cooking, tilt the lid to direct steam away from you and keep your hands and face away from steam vents.
• Do not use glass lids that have cracks, chips, or scratches, and do not attempt to make repairs to damaged cookware. Using damaged lids or cookware could lead to explosions or injuries to users and bystanders.
• Do not place hot glass lids under cold water, as the temperature change can break the glass.
• Tempered glass lids are oven safe to 300 °F (149 °C).
• When leaving a covered pan on the burner after the heat is turned down, be sure to leave the cover ajar or the steam vent open or else a vacuum seal may form.

Handles and Knobs

• Handles and knobs can get very hot under certain conditions. Always have potholders available for use. ?
• When cooking, make sure handles are not positioned over other hot burners.
• Oven safe to 350 °F (175 °C).

Non-Stick Cookware

• NEVER cut food directly in the pan or gouge the non-stick surface in any way.
• With use, the non-stick surface may become slightly darker. This will not impair its performance. Slight surface marks or abrasions are normal and will NOT affect the performance of the non-stick coating.
• Non-stick cooking sprays are not necessary with non-stick cookware. The use of such sprays may create an invisible buildup on the surface of the pan that will affect the pan's non-stick properties.

Caution

Cooking at ultra-high settings can cause emission of fumes from the non-stick interior that could be dangerous for certain animals with sensitive respiratory systems, such as birds. Birds should not be kept in the kitchen. ⚠️

Discoloration

Overheating can cause brown or blue stains. This is not a defect in the product:

• It occurs from using a too high heat setting (typically in an empty or minimally filled pan).
• Food films that were not properly or fully removed from past cooking will also cause discoloration to the pan when reheated.

Tips

• Suitable for all heating sources, excluding induction hobs. ?
• BPA and PFOA free. ✔️
• Use low to medium heat; extremely high temperatures can cause handle and coating damage.
• If you are using a gas stove, adjust the height of the flame to avoid overheating the side walls of the pan.
• Never leave a hot pan to boil dry. Leaving a pan on continuous heat while it is empty could cause serious injury. Excessive dry heating will cause the pan to discolor.
• Avoid using metal utensils as these can damage the non-stick coating. ??
• Do not combine cookware to make a double boiler. These pieces are not designed for that purpose, and such use could result in steam-related burns or other injury to users and bystanders.
• Cookware cannot be used in a microwave, over a campfire, or on any type of grill, and should not be placed in the oven during the self-clean cycle. ❌<0xF0><0x9F><0xA7><0x83>
