Erstreinigung:

Before first use, wash all cookware pieces in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots. This removes any manufacturing residues.

Understanding Heat Distribution:

The cookware features an aluminum encapsulated base for efficient heat transfer. This design ensures heat is distributed evenly across the cooking surface, preventing hot spots that can lead to uneven cooking or burning.

Operating Your Cookware

Preheating for Optimal Performance:

For best results and to prevent food from sticking, always preheat your stainless steel pan before adding oil or food. Place the pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. To test if it's ready, add a few drops of water; if the water beads up and dances across the surface, the pan is properly preheated. If it evaporates immediately, the pan is too hot. If it just sits there, it's not hot enough.

Kochtipps:

• Use Appropriate Heat: Stainless steel conducts heat efficiently. Often, medium or even low heat is sufficient for most cooking tasks. High heat should be used sparingly and only for short periods, such as searing.
• Add Oil After Preheating: Once the pan is preheated, add your cooking oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 30 seconds before adding food. This creates a non-stick barrier.
• Überfüllung vermeiden: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this can lower the temperature and lead to steaming instead of searing or browning.
• Oven Versatility: All pieces are oven safe up to 500°F, allowing for seamless transitions from stovetop to oven for finishing dishes or keeping food warm.

Cool Grip™ Handles:

The riveted stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking. Always use oven mitts when transferring cookware from the oven or when handles become hot due to prolonged cooking or high heat settings.

Wartung und Reinigung

Spülmaschinenfest:

All components of the Cuisinart Chef's Classic Steel Collection are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. Ensure proper loading to prevent damage to the cookware or dishwasher.

Händewaschen:

For stubborn food residues or to maintain the cookware's pristine appearance, hand washing is recommended. Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. For water stains or discoloration, a stainless steel cleaner like Bar Keepers Friend or a solution of vinegar and water can be effective. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent mineral deposits.

Lagerung:

Store cookware in a dry place. To prevent scratching, place a cloth or paper towel between stacked pans. Lids can be stored separately or inverted on top of pans.

Fehlerbehebung

Lebensmittel kleben bleiben:

If food is sticking, it is often due to insufficient preheating or not enough oil. Ensure the pan is properly preheated (water droplet test) and a thin layer of oil is heated before adding food. Avoid adding cold food to a cold pan.

Discoloration or Stains:

Blue or rainbow-like discoloration can occur due to high heat or mineral deposits from water. This is harmless and does not affect cooking performance. To remove, use a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of white vinegar and water. For stubborn burnt-on food, soak the pan in hot, soapy water before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive pad.
