USING YOUR COOKWARE

Cooking

• All KitchenAid cookware is designed for use on gas, electric, and induction cooktop surfaces.

• Use potholders or oven mitts when handling hot cookware.

• Before use, wash in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry.

• Use low to medium heat for best cooking. Use high heat for cooking such as boiling, searing, stir-fry, etc.

• Use oil that cooks best with moderate heat. Temperatures that are too high or too low cause sticking.

• To minimize sticking when frying, sautéing, or searing, preheat the pan for 1–2 minutes over low heat before adding foods.

• For best results when cooking cold items like potatoes, microwave them first for a minute or two to keep them from sticking.

• For best results, use cooking spray designated as “less-residue.” Recommended oils for flavor include olive oil, peanut oil, or sesame oil.

• For best results, place cookware on a burner close in diameter to the pan in use. If cooking with gas, do not allow the flame to go up the sides of the pan.

• Do not leave an empty pan on a hot burner or allow pan to boil dry. This may damage the cookware finish.

• Cookware is oven safe up to 500°F.

• Nonstick cookware only: avoid using sharp-edged and metal utensils that may scratch or cut the nonstick surface.

• Nonstick cookware only: do not cut inside the cookware.

• Nonstick cookware only: do not place under the broiler.

USING YOUR COOKWARE

Using the Glass Lid (if included)

• Do not use glass lids that have cracks or scratches. If your lid is cracked or has deep scratches, breakage can occur spontaneously. Damage from ordinary wear and tear such as scratching is not covered under product’s limited warranty. Please contact the Customer eXperience Center to order a new lid.

• Do not place glass lids directly on top of or directly under heating elements.

Handles and Knobs

• The stainless steel handles are oven safe up to 500°F.

• Handle position when cooking – Position pans so that handles are not over other hot burners and do not allow handles to extend beyond the edge of the stove where they can be knocked off.

• Avoid extreme temperature changes when using glass lids.

• Do not submerge a hot lid in cold water.

• If a lid vacuum occurs, do not attempt to remove the lid. First, turn off the heat source and move the entire pan away from the burner. Then, slowly release the lid.

• Loose handles – Periodically check handles and knobs to be sure they are not loose. If the handles become loose, do not try to repair them. Please contact the Customer eXperience Center for a replacement.

CARING FOR YOUR COOKWARE

Cleaning Cookware

• Cookware is dishwasher safe. For best results in the dishwasher, use the manufacturer’s recommended dishwasher detergents and rinsing liquid. To extend the life of nonstick cookware, hand washing with hot, soapy water is recommended.

• Remove heavy residue by rinsing with cold water, while the cookware is still hot, before placing in dishwasher or washing by hand.

• Remove any spotted white film with a mild solution of water and lemon juice or vinegar.

Cleaning the Glass Lid (if included)

• Never use metal utensils, sharp instruments, oven cleaners, or other harsh abrasives that may damage or weaken the glass.

• Glass lids may be washed in the dishwasher. You can also wash lids in hot, soapy water; then dry immediately to avoid water spots.

• Overheating may cause brown or blue stains on your cookware. On polished exteriors only, polishing may remove these stains. To polish your pans, use a stainless steel cleaner with a soft cloth and rub with a circular motion. Wash, rinse, and dry. For other painted stainless steel colors, clean with hot, soapy water; then dry immediately to avoid water spots.

• Use a sponge, nylon pad, or dishcloth when cleaning cookware; do not use oven cleaners, steel wool, harsh detergents, or chlorine bleach.
