nBEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all labels. Wash cookware and covers in warm water with a mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and wipe dry with a soft dishtowel.
nHEALTHY COOKING, EASY CLEANING
When cooking with your Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™ Non-Stick Hard Anodized Cookware, you do not need to add oil or butter to prevent foods from sticking. If you wish to enhance the flavor and appearance of foods, you need only add a minimum amount to the nonstick surface of your cookware.
nSTOVE TOP COOKING
Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the pan bottom. 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.
nESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™ Non-Stick Hard Anodized Cookware on high heat or food will burn. The aluminum core of this cookware heats quickly and its even heat distribution prevents hot spots. The dark interior color also allows food to cook more quickly with less heat. We recommend using a low to medium setting for most cook- ing. To boil water, medium-high is sufficient. Never leave Cuisinart® Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and cause damage to the stovetop.
n OVEN COOKING TEMPERATURE
Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™ Non-Stick Hard Anodized Cookware can be used in the oven up to 500˚ F.
Using Cuisinart® Cookware in the oven will cause the handles as well as the pan to become hot. Use Cuisinart® Kitchen Textiles Pot Holders or Oven Mitts when removing the cookware from the oven.
nPROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your Cuisinart® Cookware to maintain its appearance and performance. However, our Chef’s Classic™ Non-Stick Hard Anodized line is metal-utensil safe. Refrain from cutting foods or using sharp utensils such as forks, knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch the cooking surface.
nEASY MAINTENANCE
Let your Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™ Non-Stick Hard Anodized Cookware cool before cleaning. The reinforced nonstick sys- tem and the smooth exterior ensure easy cleaning. Cookware should be washed by hand with hot sudsy water and a sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel wool or other metal or abrasive pads that can scratch your cookware. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to maintain Cuisinart® Cookware’s flawless finish. do not put in the dishwasher since harsh detergents will harm exterior finish.
