HEALTHIER COOKING, EASY CLEANING
When cooking with your Cuisinart
®
Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware, you do not need to add oil or butter
to prevent foods from sticking. If you wish to enhance the flavor and appearance of foods, you need only add
a minimum amount to the nonstick surface of your cookware.
STOVETOP COOKING
Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the pan bottom. When cooking over a gas burner, make
certain that the ame touches only the bottom of the pan. If the ame extends up the sides of the pan,
energy is wasted.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart
®
Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware on high heat or food will burn. The aluminum core
of this cookware heats quickly and its even heat distribution prevents hot spots. The dark interior color also
allows food to cook more quickly with less heat. We recommend using a low to medium setting for most
cooking. To boil water, medium-high is sufcient. Never leave Cuisinart Cookware or any pan empty over a
hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and cause damage to the stovetop.
OVEN COOKING TEMPERATURE
Cuisinart
®
Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware can be used in the oven up to 500˚F. Glass lids are oven safe
up to 350˚F. Using Cuisinart Cookware in the oven will cause the handles as well as the pan to become hot.
Use pot holders or oven mitts when removing the cookware from the oven.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your Cuisinart Cookware to maintain its appearance and
performance. However, our Hard Anodized Nonstick line is metal-utensil safe. Refrain from cutting foods or
using sharp utensils such as forks, knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch the cooking surface.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Let your Cuisinart
®
Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware cool before cleaning. The reinforced nonstick system
and the smooth exterior ensure easy cleaning. Cookware should be washed by hand with hot sudsy water
and a sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel wool or other metal or abrasive pads that can scratch your
cookware. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to maintain Cuisinart Cookware’s awless
nish. Do not put in the dishwasher since harsh detergents will harm exterior nish.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Cuisinart
®
Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware has a smooth exterior nish, making it easier to clean and
maintain. Food residue or buildup on the exterior of your cookware can easily be removed with any non-abra-
sive cleaning product. The exterior of Cuisinart Cookware, like other brands, will show wear with continuous
use. This condition will not in any way affect the superior cooking performance of your cookware.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
Hanging pans by their handles on a cookware rack provides convenient, safe storage for your Cuisinart
Cookware. Use care if you store your cookware in cabinets or drawers. Careless stacking and crowding
may cause scratches.
