All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.

Cooking Utensils

Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking utensils that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,

or other glazed utensils are suitable for glass cooktop use without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.
