Important Safety Information
This document provides critical safety guidelines for the proper use and maintenance of Zwilling stainless steel and aluminum cookware. Following these instructions helps prevent accidents, burns, and damage to your cookware.
- Thermal Shock Prevention: Never cool hot cookware suddenly with cold water. The resulting thermal shock can cause parts to burst and may pose a risk of injury.
- Handling Hot Components: Handles and knobs can become hot during use. It is strongly recommended to use oven gloves when handling the cookware.
Usage Guidelines
Proper usage is essential for both safety and the longevity of your cookware.
Frying Safety
To avoid burns caused by overflowing fat or grease splashes during deep-frying:
- Fill the cookware with oil to a maximum of one-third of its height.
- Do not use a lid when frying.
- Do not overheat the fat.
Handling Vacuum-Sealed Lids
Tightly fitting lids may adhere firmly to the cookware as it cools due to the creation of a vacuum. To prevent this:
- Wipe the edge of the cookware and the lid dry before allowing them to cool.
- If a lid is stuck, you can release the vacuum by briefly heating the cookware again.
