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.
Induction Compatibility:
Copper-Core in past years has not been compatible with induction ranges. Now this technology exists in the stainless steel exterior of the Copper-Core line. To test if your cookware is induction compatible simply place a magnet up to the exterior and if the magnet sticks, your pan is induction ready. Please be sure to test your Copper-Core cookware that you bought previously to see if compatible with induction cook tops. |
