Use and Care
Before First Use
Before using your new cookware, wash it in warm water with mild
dishwashing detergent, using a sponge, nylon pad or dishcloth. Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
Care & Cleaning
Your cookware is dishwasher-safe, although hand-washing is preferred
to keep its brilliant luster. It is recommended that you use a sponge,
nylon pad or dishcloth with warm water and a mild dishwashing soap.
Stain Removal. Stainless steel cleaners such as Bon Ami ®, Cameo®
Stainless Steel cleaner or Barkeeper’s Friend® may be used to clean
stains from your cookware. To remove calcium stains (which produce a
multi-color stain), wipe with a small amount of warm vinegar. If stains
persist, fill cookware with 1-inch of water and add a non-lemon-based
detergent. Boil and then simmer water in cookware for about 15 minutes.
After cooling, drain and rinse. Stains on the bottom of the cookware
can be removed with an oven cleaner.
Stainless steel resists stains, rust and corrosion better than most
other metals. However, all metals will react to extreme conditions so
please keep the following facts in mind:
• Discoloration, pitting and corrosion are most often caused by
sustained exposure to foods that contain chloride, i.e., table salt,
mustard, mayonnaise and eggs. Soaking items in water for a
prolonged period, especially if items are heavily soiled, can also
have this undesirable effect.
• The chlorine and mineral content of your water, especially iron,
may cause corrosion and discoloration of stainless steel. To avoid
these issues, always clean your cookware after each use and dry
thoroughly.
WARNINGS
1 Your cookware, including the lids, is oven safe to 400 °F. DO NOT
USE IN OVENS OVER 400 °F.
2 Never leave an empty piece of cookware on a hot burner or in a hot
oven. This can ruin the cookware and damage your stovetop.
3 The handles will get hot when cookware is placed in the oven, or if
the handle is left over a hot burner. Use potholders at all times when
handling the cookware while cooking.
