Before you start
Your brand new cookware set needs to be preconditioned before you use it for the first time.
This will help to protect and prolong its use, and the steps are easy!
1. Remove any labels/stickers that might be on each pan.
2. Wash each pan with a mild dish washing liquid, then rinse with warm water and dry
completely with a paper towel.
3. Warm the pan over a medium heat for 20-30 seconds, then remove from heat.
4. Spread a light coat of vegetable oil or shortening over the entire inside surface of the
pan.
5. Place it back on your stovetop over the medium heat.
6. Watch carefully and remove from heat once it starts to smoke.
7. Let it cool completely.
8. Wipe away any excess residue with a lightly oiled paper towel.
9. You are now ready to start cooking!
Tips
• Cook at a moderate heat. The cookware is never meant for use at temperatures over
230°C/446°F, which means it should only be used on medium to low settings.
• Even though the handles on the pans and lids are 'cool-touch' and will not get hot
during use, please make sure to select a heat source that is suited to the size of the
bottom of the pan so that the flame does not burn along the handles and the sides of
the cookware.
• Do not overheat the empty pan; supervise the cooking process at all times.
• Use only plastic or wooden utensils, never metal. Do not cut food directly inside the
pan.
• Allow the pan to cool before washing. Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemical
products for cleaning.
• The cookware does not need to be washed every time it is used. Due to its non-stick
surface, it can be cleaned without detergents by simply wiping the surface with a
paper towel and hot water.
• Ensure that all grease or food deposits left on the pan have been removed when
washed. Improper cleaning of your non-stick cookware can cause foods to stick the
next time you use the pan.
• Over time, certain foods may leave some stains. These traces will not compromise
the pan function or non-stick properties. To remove discolouration, wash the pan in
hot water with a mild detergent while scrubbing it delicately with a non-scratch scrub
sponge. More resistant stains can be cleaned by heating equal parts of white vinegar
and water in the pan.
Please note: discolouration is intensified if the cookware is used on higher than
recommended temperatures.
• As with all aluminium cookware, avoid dropping the pans as they can warp from
physical force.
• To lengthen the pan's life, store it with care and avoid banging or scratching the inner
non-stick coating during storage.
