- Before using your cookware for the first time, hand-wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Cook or boil using low to medium heat only. Tri-ply base construction requires only low to medium heat to sauté, fry or cook most foods. Using a high heat setting causes the tri-ply base to become very hot, which may cause foods to stick, burn or scorch if added to very hot cookware. In fact, the use of high heat can permanently discolor and damage your cookware.
- Keep the cookware on the burner only during the necessary time for cooking or boiling. Do not overheat empty cookware or allow gas flames to extend up sides of pans and overheat handles.
- Caution: Do not allow cookware to boil for prolonged periods of time, as all liquids may evaporate, resulting in overheated cookware. Should this inadvertently occur, never submerge overheated cookware into cool or tepid water, as this will permanently damage the cookware?s construction and may void the warranty. Instead, allow cookware to remain on stovetop until it cools completely. If cookware is allowed to boil dry, we recommend discontinuing use. Stainless steel cookware is oven-safe up to 350°F (176°C).
- Do not leave or store food remains in the cookware for long periods of time. Superficial pitting may occur if very salty or acidic foods (such as tomatoes) are left in the cookware.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes such as immersing hot cookware in cold water. Always let the cookware cool before washing.

Cleaning and caring for your tri-ply base 18/10 stainless steel cookware
- Stainless steel cookware is dishwasher-safe. However, we recommend hand-drying the cookware immediately after the rinse cycle or hand-washing and drying to preserve the original finish.
- Prolonged exposure to high heat settings may cause your cookware to discolor. To recondition your cookware or to remove stubborn spots or stains, use a nonabrasive pad and quality stainless steel cleanser such as Bar Keepers Friend®.

Understanding tempered glass lids use & care
- Industrial glass is tempered by a controlled thermal treatment process to increase its strength when compared with normal glass.
- Tempering creates balanced internal stresses which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards.
- The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury. Under normal usage, and by following the instructions below, tempered glass lids are safer for use within household kitchens.

Cleaning and caring for your tempered glass lids
- Extra caution must be used when handling glass lids.
- When cleaning a glass lid, do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or coarse scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface of the glass lid, which may cause breakage over time.
