Quick guide from the manual
Before using your Cuisinart Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware for the first time, remove all labels, wash the cookware and covers in warm water with mild dish soap, rinse thoroughly, and wipe dry with a soft dishtowel.
Cooking instructions
Stovetop Cooking: Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the pan bottom. When using a gas burner, ensure the flame touches only the bottom of the pan to avoid wasting energy. Use low to medium heat for most cooking; medium-high is sufficient for boiling water. Never leave the cookware empty over a hot burner.
Oven Cooking: The cookware is oven safe up to 500°F. Glass lids are oven safe up to 350°F. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing cookware from the oven, as handles will become hot.
Utensils
While the cookware is metal-utensil safe, we recommend using plastic or wooden utensils to maintain its appearance and performance. Avoid using sharp utensils such as forks, knives, mashers, or whisks that can scratch the cooking surface.
Cleaning and maintenance
Let the cookware cool before cleaning. Wash by hand with hot, sudsy water and a sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel wool or abrasive pads. Do not put the cookware in the dishwasher, as harsh detergents will harm the exterior finish. Food residue on the exterior can be removed with any non-abrasive cleaning product.
Storage
Hanging pans by their handles on a cookware rack provides convenient and safe storage. If storing in cabinets or drawers, use care to avoid scratches from stacking and crowding.
