BEFORE COOKING - Before using your pan for the first time, hand-wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly, then season by lightly rubbing cooking oil onto the interior surface and heating the cookware over medium heat for two to three minutes. DURING COOKING - Avoid using nonstick aerosol cooking sprays in your pan. - We recommend only using silicone, nylon, bamboo or wood utensils when cooking. - Do not overheat an empty pan or leave it unattended on the cooktop. - Your cookware is oven-safe up to 400ºF (204ºC). Do not use under an oven broiler unit. - Place your pan down gently and always lift to move instead of sliding especially on ceramic glass cooktops to avoid damage or scratches. AFTER COOKING - Always let the cookware cool before washing. - Although your pan is dishwasher-safe, natural aluminum will discolor when placed in the dishwasher. To preserve the performance and beauty of the interior and exterior finishes of your pan, we recommend hand-washing and drying with a soft, non-abrasive towel. - Over time the food-release characteristics of the ceramic coating may begin to fade. To revitalize the performance of the ceramic coating, simply re-season your pan. Caring for Your Stainless Steel Steamer Insert A FEW SIMPLE TIPS - Before first use, hand-wash with warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. - Use a large spoon or tongs to safely remove steamed food from the insert prior to removing. - The steamer insert is dishwasher-safe. However, we recommend hand-washing and drying to preserve the original finish. To ensure the steam holes are completely clean, soak the steamer insert in hot, soapy water for a few minutes and then gently scrub with a nonabrasive pad. Caring for Your Bamboo Accessories A FEW SIMPLE TIPS - Before first use, hand-wash with warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. - Do not use in the microwave or conventional oven. - After each use, hand-wash immediately (do not place in dishwasher) with warm soapy water. Rinse with warm water, towel dry immediately and air dry completely prior to storage. - Avoid scrubbing with hard bristles or abrasive pads as this may scratch the surface. - Avoid soaking your bamboo accessories in liquid for an excessive amount of time as this may cause them to warp or crack. - Over time the bamboo trivet may discolor after several uses, this is expected and does not affect the function of the trivet
