The outside finish of the skillet is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply wipe away spills and drips as they occur. If food should
happen to burn on, it can be removed with warm, soapy water and a cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry. Soaking the skillet to loosen food
residue is not necessary. If, however, soaking the skillet is desired, do not soak for more than two hours. Soaking for more than two hours
may damage the nonstick finish.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To remove this discoloration, use a solution of two tablespoons of automatic
dishwasher detergent powder and two cups of water; this can be doubled for 16-inch skillets. Bring the water to a boil in the skillet and then
reduce the heat to simmer level (between the WARM setting and 200º) by turning the heat control down until the pilot light goes out. Slowly
stir in the dishwasher detergent. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Drain the solution and wash the skillet in warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. After treating the skillet, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with vegetable oil before using.
Periodically check the screws on the handle and legs for looseness. Retighten, if necessary. NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure,
can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles.

then place cover on pan and reduce the heat to simmer level by turning the heat control down until the pilot light goes out.
Braising or Pot Roasting
This cooking method involves browning food, usually meat or vegetables in oil, butter, margarine, etc. and then simmering in a small amount of
liquid over low heat. To brown meat and/or vegetables use a temperature between 325° and 350°. After browning, simmer as instructed above.
