preserve and maintain cookware’s original beauty.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart
®
Hammered Collection Copper Tri-Ply
Cookware on high heat. Food will burn. The triple-ply
construction of this cookware is highly conductive and effi cient
for quick, even heat distribution. We recommend using a low to
medium setting for most cooking. To boil water, medium-high is
suffi cient. Never leave Cuisinart
®
Hammered Collection Copper
Tri-Ply Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so
can ruin the pan and cause damage to the stovetop.
BEFORE USING
Wash your new cookware in hot water with a mild soap or dish
detergent before using for the fi rst time. Rinse thoroughly and
wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, fi ll the pan with hot water and
liquid dish detergent; let stand until lukewarm. Use a sponge
or soft cloth to remove any remaining food particles. Do not
use steel wool or other coarse metal pads that may make
scratches. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately for a fl awless
fi nish. Cuisinart
®
Hammered Collection Copper Tri-Ply features
oven-safe handles that can withstand oven temperatures up to
500°F. Caution should be used when handling any cookware
handles and we recommend the use of potholders.
To maintain the copper’s luster, use either a metal polish or
homemade mixture of ½ cup white vinegar, ¼ cup table salt,
and ¼ cup scouring powder. Rub the mixture over the copper
with a cloth or nonabrasive scrubber, and rinse clean with hot
water. Never use cleaners containing bleach to clean copper
cookware.
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
We do not recommend Cuisinart
®
Hammered Collection
Copper Tri-Ply Cookware be cleaned in the dishwasher. The
abrasive cleaning agent will scratch and discolor the copper
exterior. The stainless steel covers are dishwasher safe and will
return to a mirror shine. Over a long period of time however,
regular dishwasher cleaning may scratch the covers. We
recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
WHAT ABOUT METAL UTENSILS?
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your
Cuisinart
®
Hammered Collection Copper Tri-Ply Cookware.
You may prefer using metal utensils. These may scratch the
cooking surface, but will in no way impair the performance of
your Cuisinart
®
Hammered Collection Copper Tri-Ply Cookware.
You may use a hand mixer with metal beaters which can
scratch the interior surface, but will not impair the cookware’s
performance or its durability.
TO REMOVE STAINS
Calcium in your water may leave a multicolored stain. This is
from a harmless deposit and can be removed with a little warm
vinegar. Certain foods such as pasta or oatmeal may leave a
light residue or cloudy appearance. This can be easily removed
with any nonabrasive cleaning product.
TO REMOVE STUBBORN RESIDUE
When food is burned in the pan, a stubborn black residue may
remain. If soaking does not loosen it, add water to a depth of
one inch in the pan, then add a tablespoon of dishwasher
detergent (a non-lemon product). Bring to a boil, reduce
heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan, then
drain and rinse. Loosen the residue with a sponge or plastic
spatula. Repeat if necessary. CAUTION: Detergent fumes can
be irritating. Carry out this procedure under a hood with an
exhaust fan or in a well-
ventilated room.
COOKING OVER A GAS BURNER
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the fl ame
touches only the pan bottom. If the fl ame comes up the
sides of the pan, energy is wasted and the sides of the pan
may become permanently discolored. IMPORTANT NOTE:
Cuisinart
®
Hammered Collection Copper Tri-Ply Cookware
has exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and even a low
setting on some gas burners will overheat or even burn foods
such as thinly sliced onions. An inexpensive gas fl ame-tamer
placed between the burner and the bottom of the pot solves
this problem. Flame-tamers are readily available at most
hardware stores.
COOKING TEMPERATURE IN OVEN
Cuisinart
®
Hammered Collection Copper Tri-Ply Cookware can
be used in the oven without damage. Naturally, the handle
as well as the pan will become hot. Use potholders to prevent
burns. The cookware can be used in the oven at any baking
temperature up to 500°F and can go from burner to broiler to
table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet.
TO BREAK A VACUUM SEAL
The uniquely designed rims and covers form a perfect fi t to
reduce the evaporation of liquids. If you leave the cover on
after turning the heat down or off, a partial vacuum may form,
which will seal the lid to the pan. To break the seal, turn on the
heat for a few moments, and the cover will come off easily. If
you don’t want the lid to seal to the pan, remove the cover or
set it slightly ajar before turning off the heat.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
A cookware rack or pegboard provides convenient, safe
storage for your Cuisinart
®
Hammered Collection Copper Tri-Ply
Cookware. Stacking and crowding in cabinets or drawers may
cause scratches.

it (or, if we think it necessary, replace it) without charge to you,

to external or internal surfaces which does not impair the

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California residents need only supply proof of purchase and
should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions. California
law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents
have the option of returning a nonconforming product (a) to
the store where it was purchased or (b) to another retail store
which sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail
store shall then, at its choice, either repair the product, refer
the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the
product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly
attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If
the above two options do not result in the appropriate relief
to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product
to an independent repair facility if service or repair can
be economically accomplished.* Cuisinart, and not the
consumer, will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such
service, repair, replacement or refund for nonconforming
products under warranty.
*California residents may also, according to their preference,
return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair,
or if necessary, replacement, by calling our Consumer Service
Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible
for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and
handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.
