BUFFET SERVERS
USE AND CARE GUIDE
ENTERTAINING AT HOME
Cuisinart® Buff et Ser vers are an investment that will prove their wor th
every time you use them. They can be used on the stovetop or in the
oven to cook, under the br oiler to brown and then on the stand to
elegantly display food for your guests . Uniquely designed aluminum
encapsulated base prov ides superior heat conductivity and even heat
distribution to meet your entertaining needs. When properly cared
for, your Cuisinart® Buff et Ser vers will give countless years of ser vice
and pleasure. Follow the us e and care sugges tions in this booklet to
preserve and maintain their original beauty.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart® Buffet Server on high heat. Food will burn. The
aluminum encapsulated base makes this cookware highly conduc tive
and efficient for quick , even heat distribution. We recommend u sing a
low to medium set ting for most cooking. To boil water, medium-high is
sufficient. Never leave your Cuisinart® Buffet Server or any pan empt y
over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and caus e damage to the
stovetop. Never use the warming stand on the stovetop or in the oven.
The warming stand is for u se after the food has been cooked. It can be
used on the counter or tabletop to keep food warm and to elevate the
hot ser ver fro m the sur face. Read “How to Use Warming Stand” section
CAREFULLY before using buffet pan with warming stand. Follow ALL
instructions.
BEFORE USING
Wash your new buffet pan in warm water with a mild soap or
dishwashing liquid, or in a dishwasher, before using for the fir st time.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel. Do
not place warming stand in dishwasher.
HOW TO USE WARMING STAND
The warming stand for your Cuisinart® Buffet Server keeps already
cooked foods warm while serving. Before lighting candles, pla ce
the warming stand in the location where you will be serving. Prior to
mounting the buf fet pan, place two smokeless , nontoxic, fragrancefree tea -light candles* in candle cup holders on warming stan d base.
Light both candles jus t before use. Once candles are lit, carefully place
Buffet Server on warming stand for serving. Tea-light candles var y in
lifespan. They can last anywhere from 2–5 hours depending on the
brand. DO NOT LEAVE UNIT UN ATTENDED AND KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHIL DREN. PLACE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE ARE NO DRAFT S,
AWAY FROM CURTAINS OR OTHER FL AMMABLE ITEMS. W hen finished
serving, ex tinguish can dles. Be sure both the wax and the server have
cooled b efore removing the tea-light candles.**
*IM POR TAN T: ONLY standard -sized (1½" diameter) tea-light candles
should b e used. DO NOT USE VOTIVE CANDLES OR A NY OTHER TYPE
OF CANDLES. DO NOT USE SCENTED CANDLES.
**CAUTION: Do not transport warming stand or entire buffet ser ver
unit while candles are lit. Tilting and dropping may c reate risk of b urns
or fire.
CARBON RESIDUE FROM CANDLES
Carbon spot ting from candles will appear on the bottom of buf fet pan
after use on warming st and. Carbon residue must be cleaned off prior
to placing in dishwa sher. Damp en bot tom, sprinkle with baking soda
and clean, using a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Bottom of pan
should wipe clean.
NOTE: Different brands of tea-light candles will leave different
amounts of carbon.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately af ter each use, fill the pan with hot water and
dishwashing liquid; let s tand until lukewarm. Use a sponge o r soft cloth
to remove any remaining food particles. D o not use steel wool or other
coarse metal pads that may make scratches . Rinse thoroughly and dry
immediately. Cuisinart® Buffet Server features oven-safe handles that
can withstand oven temperature s up to 50 0°F/260˚C. Caution should be
used when handling any cookware handle s; we recommend the use of
potholders.
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
Cuisinart® Buffet Servers are dishwasher safe, but rememb er that soil
from other dishes may be abrasive. If the dishwasher is carelessly packed,
other dishes or flatware may mar the surfa ce of the cookware. Over a
long period, re gular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any
utensil. We recommend using a non -lemon detergent . Do not place
warming stand in dishwasher.
WHAT ABOUT METAL UTENSILS?
We recomm end using plas tic or wooden utensils with your Cuisinart®
Buffet Server. You may prefer u sing metal utensils. These may scratch
the cooking surface, but will in no way impair the pe rforman ce of your
Cuisinart® Buffe t Server. You may use a hand mixer with metal beaters
which can scratch the interior sur face but will not impair the cookware’s
performance or its durability.
TO REMOVE STAINS
Calcium in your wate r may leave a multicolored stain. This is a harmless
deposit and can be removed with a little warm vinegar. Cert ain foods,
such as pasta or oatmeal, may leave a light residue or cloudy appearance.
This can be easily removed with any of these nonabrasive pro ducts.
TO REMOVE STUBBORN RESIDUE
When food is burned in the pan, a stubborn black re sidue may remain. If
soaking does not loosen it, add water to a depth of one inch in the pan,
then add a tablespoon of dishwasher detergent (a non- lemon product).
Bring to a boil, redu ce heat and simme r for 15 minutes. Let cool in the
pan, the n drain and rinse. Loosen the residue with a sponge or plas tic
spatula . Repeat if necessar y.
TO REMOVE BURNER STAINS
Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of pans can be removed with
an oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and spray or brush
the cleaner on only the out side bottom of the pan. I f the directio ns call
for using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the pan before applying the
cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. CAUTION: Detergent fumes can
be irritating. Carry out this procedure und er a hood with an exhaust
fan or in a well-ventilated room. IMPORTANT NOTE: Cuisinart® Buffet
Servers have exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and even a low
setting on some gas burners will overheat or even burn foods such as
thinly sliced onions. An inexp ensive gas “flame-t amer ” placed between
the burner and the bottom of the pan solves t his problem. Flame -tamers
are readily available at most hardware stores.
FOR USE ON INDUCTION STOVETOPS
Consult your induction stovetop manual for information on use. For
optimal performance, always center the cooking vessel on the burner.
COOKING OVER A GA S BURNER
When cooking over a gas burner, make cer tain the flame touches only the
pan bot tom. If the flame comes up the sides of the pan, energy is wasted
and the sides of the pan may be come permane ntly dis colored.
COOKING TEMPERATURE IN OVEN
Cuisinart® Buffe t Servers can be used in the oven without damage.
Naturally, the handle as well as the pan will becom e hot. Use potholder s
to prevent burns . The cookware can be us ed in the oven at any baking
temperature up to 500°F/260˚C and can go from burner to broiler to
table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet . Glass cover is oven safe to
350˚F/177˚C only.
TO BREAK A VACUUM SEAL
The uniquely de signed rim and cover form a perfe ct fit to reduce the
evaporation of liquids. If you leave the cover on after turning the heat
down or of f, a partial vacuum may form that will seal the lid to the pan.
To break the seal, turn up the heat for a few moments , and the cover will
come off easily. If you don’t want the lid to seal to the pan, remove the
cover or set it slightly ajar before turning of f the heat.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
Store in original box o r in cupboard with ample space for convenient,
safe storage.
