- Before using your cookware for the first time, hand-wash with warm soapy water. Rinse 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, then rinse and dry thoroughly. - Do not use nonstick aerosol cooking sprays in your cookware. - The new Teflon Profile nonstick coating is metal utensil safe. However, to preserve the look and performance of your cookware, we recommend using silicone, nylon, bamboo or wood utensils when cooking. - The use of a metal utensil with a sharp edge may scratch the nonstick coating. Avoid cutting foods in the cookware, or gouging the nonstick surface. - Cook using low to medium heat only. Since aluminum yields excellent conductivity and delivers even heat distribution, the use 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). Even though the handles are oven-safe, they will get hot in the oven and on the stovetop, particularly on gas stoves where an open flame is used. Therefore, use protective mitts to safely handle cookware. Do not use under an oven broiler unit.

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. - Your cookware is dishwasher-safe. However, we recommend hand-washing and drying.
