Care & Cleaning

Proper care ensures your cookware maintains peak performance and lasts for years to come. Please follow the guidelines below for optimal results.

Before Cooking

1. Initial Setup

  • Remove all packaging materials and labels.
  • Wash the cookware with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly using a soft cloth or paper towel.

2. Seasoning the Nonstick Surface (Recommended)

  • Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the pan.
  • Spread it evenly across the base and sidewalls.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and gently rub the oil into the surface with a soft paper towel.
  • Let it cool completely, then wash with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Tip: Re-season occasionally to extend the life of your nonstick coating.

3. Preparation Guidelines

  • Match the pan size to the burner or induction hob zone.
  • On gas stoves, keep flames from flaring up the sides.
  • Lift (don’t slide) cookware on glass-topped hobs to avoid scratches.
  • Always use clean, dry cookware.
  • Bring ingredients to room temperature before cooking.

During Cooking

1. Heat Management

  • Use low to medium heat for most cooking due to excellent heat conductivity.
  • Avoid prolonged high heat to protect the nonstick coating.
  • Do not exceed 450°F for searing or 500°F in the oven.
  • Preheat the pan for about 1 minute with oil or butter before adding food.

2. Cooking Oils & Fats

  • Use oils with a high smoke point: refined olive oil, peanut oil, corn oil, ghee, or clarified butter.
  • Avoid cooking sprays and aerosols, as they can cause residue buildup.
  • Distribute oil evenly and never allow it to become smoking hot.

3. Utensils & Food Handling

  • Use only wooden or heat-resistant silicone utensils.
  • Do not cut food inside the pan.
  • If food sticks slightly, add a small amount of water to create steam and release it.

4. Handle Safety

  • Stainless steel handles may tarnish at 390°F — this is cosmetic and does not affect performance.
  • Handles may get hot during prolonged cooking. Use oven mitts if needed.
  • Position handles away from the edge of the stove to avoid burns or tipping.

5. Induction Use Tips

  • Ensure the pan base size matches the hob coil for proper detection and heat transfer.
  • Undersized pans on large burners can result in poor performance.

6. Safety Reminders

  • Do not leave cookware unattended while in use.
  • Keep children away from the stove during cooking.
  • Never heat an empty pan — always add oil, butter, liquid, or food first.

After Cooking

1. Cleaning

  • Allow the pan to cool fully before washing.
  • Hand washing is recommended to preserve the coating.
  • Dishwasher-safe, but frequent dishwasher use may reduce coating lifespan due to harsh detergents.
  • Use mild detergent and a soft sponge or cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive pads, bleach, or oven cleaners.

Burnt Food?

  • Soak the pan in hot (not boiling) water for 10–15 minutes.
  • Gently scrub with a soft sponge and mild detergent.

2. Surface Maintenance

  • Minor surface marks or discoloration are normal and do not affect function.
  • For stainless steel handles, clean with baking soda and vinegar, then wipe with a sponge or cloth.

3. Storage

  • Ensure cookware is fully dry before storing.
  • Use a pan protector or dish towel between stacked pans to prevent scratches.

Important Notes

  • Not microwave-safe.
  • Avoid thermal shock — do not immerse hot cookware in cold water.
  • For optimal results, stir frequently when cooking sauces or starchy foods, and always use adequate oil, butter, or preheated liquid.
