•Read the instructions. Keep them safe. Pass them on if you pass the cookware on.

before using for the first time

•Remove all packaging and labels, but keep the packaging till you’re satisfied the cookware is functioning.

•Wash the cookware in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

suitable hob types are:

•Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, induction, solid fuel, or oil-fired.

mind your fingers

•Use oven gloves or a cloth when handling your cookware.

•Don’t touch the pan bodies or lids – use the handles and lid knobs.

do’s and don’ts

•The pans must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use and store the pans out of reach of children.

•Don’t let flames lick up the sides of the pans.

•Don’t use the pans in an oven, a microwave oven, or over a camp fire.

•Don’t let the handles stick out where they might be caught accidentally.

•Don’t position the handles above other hotplates, or they may be too hot to handle.

•Don’t use the pans for deep frying. When frying, don’t fill more than a quarter full with oil – that’s before any of the ingredients are added.

•Don’t leave food lying in stainless steel cookware after salt has been added to it.

•Don’t use sharp implements when using pans with non-stick coatings.

efficient cooking

•The pan base should be the same diameter as the hotplate (slightly larger is OK).

•Centre the pan on the hotplate.

•Cook on the lowest heat possible – excessive heat may damage the pan.

overheating/boiling dry

•Don’t pre-heat for more than 2 minutes – excessive heat may damage an empty pan.

•Don’t pre-heat cookware at all when using an induction hob – the rapid speed of heating of an induction hob is likely to overheat the cookware, causing damage.

•If a pan with a non-stick coating overheats to the point where the non-stick coating disintegrates, open the window, evacuate the room, close the door behind you, and don’t return till the room has been thoroughly ventilated.

•If a pan overheats or boils dry, don’t move it – turn off the heat and leave the pan where it is till it gets cold.

warning in extreme cases, the aluminium in the base may melt – moving the pan could burst the base and release the molten aluminium.
