Care and UseBefore using for the first time, wash in hot, soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth. Rinse in hot water and dry thoroughly.
Preheating:
Most recipes recommend placing our pots on low heat for one or two minutes before adding foods.
Frying Without Natural Fats:
- Add oil, butter, or margarine to the vessel; just enough to cover the bottom surface.
- Heat pot or pan for one to two minutes over low or medium heat.
- Add food for frying.
If sticking is a problem, check:
- Is your stove level?
- Is your pot clean?
- Is your heat set too high?
- Low to medium heat setting is recommended for optimal cooking performance.
Salt Damage:
To avoid the formation of small white dots or pits, bring liquids to a boil before adding salt, then stir well. Or, add salt after food has started to cook. Pitting does not interfere with cooking performance but can diminish the beauty of the stainless steel.
Prevent Water Spotting:
After washing, rinse in hot water and dry immediately.
Discoloration:
Overheating can cause brown or blue stains. Food films, if not removed, will cause discoloration on the pot when it is reheated. Large amounts of iron content in your water may cause your pot to look rusty. |
Cleaning
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Interior:
Immerse in warm water. Use a fine powder cleanser with water to form a paste. Apply paste using a soft cloth. Rub in a circular motion from the center outward. Wash in hot, soapy water, dry immediately. DO NOT USE oven cleaners or cleansers with chlorine bleach. DO NOT USE steel wool.
Cleaning the Copper Exterior:
To remove tarnish and darkening, use a commercial copper cleaner. Rub in a circular motion. Rinse in lukewarm water. We do not recommend dishwasher use, as harsh detergents will darken the copper.
