BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all labels. Wash cookware in warm water with a mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and
wipe dry with a soft dish towel.
HEALTHIER COOKING, EASY CLEANING
When cooking with your Cuisinart
foods from sticking. If you wish to enhance the flavor and appearance of foods, you need add only a
minimum, amount to the nonstick surface of your cookware.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT COOKING
Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the bottom of the pan. When cooking over a gas burner,
make certain that the flame touches only the bottom of the pan. If the flame extends up the sides of the pan,
energy is wasted.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart Preferred Pan Cookware on high heat or food will burn. The aluminum core of this
®
cookware heats quickly and its even heat distribution prevents hotspots. We recommend using a low to
medium setting for most cooking. To boil water, medium-high is sufficient. Never leave Cuisinart
or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and void the warranty, and cause damage to
the stovetop.
COOKING ON A GLASS STOVETOP
To avoid scratching a glass cooktop, do not slide cookware on the glass surface. Please consult your glass
cooktop manual for information and recommendations on use.
FOR USE ON INDUCTION STOVETOPS
Please consult your induction stovetop manual for information on use. Please always center the cooking
vessel on the burner for optimal performance. For the best results, it is recommended to use induction at
lower temperatures when cooking with the pan.
OVEN COOKING TEMPERATURE
Cuisinart Preferred Pan Cookware can be used in the oven up to 350°F [180°C] for short amounts of time,
®
not to exceed 20 minutes. Using Cuisinart
become hot. Use oven mitts when removing the cookware from the oven. DO NOT place Cuisinart
Pan Cookware under the broiler.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your Cuisinart® Preferred Pan Cookware to maintain its
appearance and performance. Refrain from cutting foods or using sharp utensils such as forks, knives,
mashers, or whisks that can scratch the cooking surface. Slight surface marks and abrasions are normal
and will not affect the performance of the PurelyCeramic™ Nonstick Advanced Release System coating.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Let your Cuisinart Preferred Pan Cookware cool before cleaning. Cookware should be washed by hand with
®
hot, sudsy water and a soft mesh-wrapped sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel wool or other metal or
abrasive pads that can scratch your cookware. Do not soak cookware in water for an extended period of time
as this can affect the nonstick performance. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
