Use & Care Instructions
Using Your Ceramica_01 Cookware
• Before using your cookware for the first time,
hand-wash with warm, soapy water and dry
thoroughly. Then season by lightly rubbing
cooking oil onto the cooking surface and
heating the cookware over medium heat
for two to three minutes. When cool, hand-
wash in warm, soapy water and rinse.
• Do not use nonstick aerosol cooking sprays
in your cookware. They will leave a residue,
which may be difficult to remove, and will cause foods to stick to the cookware.
• To preserve the look and performance of your pans, we recommend using silicone, nylon, bamboo or
wood utensils when cooking. Regardless of how hard the cooking surface is, using metal utensils or
sharp objects may damage the cooking surface over time
and void the warranty.
• Cook or boil using low to medium heat only. Since aluminum yields excellent conductivity and delivers
even heat distribution, the usage of high heat is not necessary. In fact, the use of high heat can
permanently discolor and damage your cookware and void the warranty.
• Keep the cookware on the burner only during the necessary time for cooking. Do not overheat empty
cookware.
• Your cookware is oven-safe up to 350ºF (176ºC), bakeware is oven-safe up to 500ºF (260ºC). Even
though the handles are oven-safe, they will get hot in the oven and on the stove top, particularly
gas stoves where an open flame is used. Therefore, please use protective mitts when handling the
cookware. Do not use under an oven broiler unit.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes such as immersing hot cookware in cold water. Always let the
cookware cool before washing.
Cleaning and Caring For Your Ceramica_01 Cookware
• Interior Cleaning: The ceramic nonstick cooking surface on your cookware ensures easy cleanup with just
soap and water. Should burnt grease or food residue collect on the surface, it can usually be removed
with warm water and a mild detergent. For extreme cases, residue can be removed with a thorough
cleaning using Soft Scrub
®
. Do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or coarse scouring pads.
• Over time the nonstick characteristics of the ceramic coating may fade. To revitalize the nonstick
performance of the ceramic coating, simply re-season your cookware.
• Your cookware is dishwasher-safe. However, we recommend hand-washing and drying to optimize the
life and performance of the interior and exterior finishes.
IMPORTANT
• SEASON YOUR COOKWARE BEFORE ITS FIRST USE
• DO NOT USE NONSTICK AEROSOL COOKING SPRAYS
• USE ONLY LOW TO MEDIUM HEAT
• USE ONLY SILICONE, NYLON, BAMBOO OR WOOD UTENSILS
• COOKWARE OVEN-SAFE UP TO 350ºF (176ºC)
• BAKEWARE OVEN-SAFE UP TO 500ºF (260ºC)

  • Do not place hot lids on cold surfaces or immerse them in cold water.
  • Allow lids to cool before washing.
  • Do not place a cold lid from the refrigerator directly into a heated oven or on a hot pan; allow it to reach room temperature first.
