USING YOUR TRI-PLY CLAD 18/10 STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE
- Before using your cookware for the first time, hand-wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Cook or boil using low to medium heat only. Cookware with tri-ply clad construction requires only low to medium heat to sauté, fry or cook most foods. Using a high heat setting causes the cookware to become very hot, which may cause foods to stick, burn or scorch if added to very hot cookware. In fact, the use of high heat can permanently discolor and damage your cookware and void the warranty.
- Keep the cookware on the burner only during the necessary time for cooking or boiling.
- Your cookware is oven-safe up to 350°F (176°C). Even though the handles and lids are oven-safe, they will get hot in the oven and on the stovetop, particularly gas stoves where an open flame is used.
- Do not leave or store food remains in the cookware for long periods of time. Superficial pitting may occur if very salty or acidic foods (such as tomatoes) are left in the cookware.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes such as immersing hot cookware in cold water. Always let the cookware cool before washing.
CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR TRI-PLY CLAD 18/10 1STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE
- Stainless steel cookware is dishwasher -safe. However, we recommend hand-washing and drying to preserve the original finish.
- Prolonged exposure to high heat settings may cause your cookware to discolor. To recondition your cookware or to remove stubborn spots or stains, use a nonabrasive pad and quality stainless steel cleanser such as Bar Keepers Friend® .
IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING TEMPERED GLASS LIDS, USE & CARE
- Industrial glass is tempered by a controlled thermal treatment process to increase its strength when compared with normal glass.
- The thermal treatment of glass creates balanced internal stresses which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards.
- The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury, making tempered glass lids safer for use within household kitchens provided the instructions below are observed.
CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR TEMPERED GLASS LIDS
- Extra caution must be used when handling glass lids.
- When cleaning a glass lid, do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or coarse scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface of the glass lid, which may cause breakage over time.
