n
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Pro Stainless Cookware on high
heat. Food will burn. The triple-ply construction of this cookware is
highly conductive and efcient for quick, even heat distribution. 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.
n
BEFORE USING
Wash your new cookware in hot water with a mild soap or dish
detergent before using for the rst time. Rinse thoroughly and
wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel, or you may place your
Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Pro Stainless cookware in a dishwasher.
n
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, 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 could scratch the cookware. Rinse
thoroughly and dry immediately for a awless nish. Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Pro Stainless Cookware 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.
n
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Pro Stainless Cookware is dishwasher safe,
but remember that soil from other dishes may be abrasive. If the
dishwasher is carelessly packed, other dishes or atware may mar
the surface of the cookware. Over a long period, regular dishwasher
cleaning will eventually scratch any cookware surface. We recom-
mend using a non-lemon detergent.
n
WHAT ABOUT METAL UTENSILS?
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Pro Stainless Cookware. You may prefer using metal
utensils. These may scratch the cooking surface, but will in no way
impair the performance of your Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Pro Stainless
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
TO REMOVE BURNER STAINS
Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of pans can be removed
with an oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and
spray or brush the cleaner on only the outside bottom of the pan.
If the directions call for using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the
pan before applying the cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
CAUTION: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out the
following procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a
well-ventilated room.
n
COOKING OVER A GAS BURNER
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the ame touches
only the pan bottom. If the ame comes up the sides of the pan,
energy is wasted and the sides of the pan may become permanently
discolored.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Pro Stainless
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 ame-
tamer placed between the burner and the bottom of the pot
solves this problem. Flame-tamers are readily available at most
hardware stores.
n
COOKING ON A GLASS STOVETOP
To avoid scratching a glass cooktop, do not slide cookware on the
glass surface. Please consult your glass cooktop manual for informa-
tion and recommendations on use.
n
FOR USE ON INDUCTION STOVETOPS
Please consult your induction stovetop manual for information on
use. Please always center the cooking vessel for optimal performance.
n
COOKING TEMPERATURE IN OVEN
Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Pro Stainless 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.
n
TO BREAK A VACUUM SEAL
The uniquely designed rims and covers form a perfect 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.
n
CONVENIENT STORAGE
A cookware rack or pegboard provides convenient, safe storage for
your Cuisinart
®
MultiClad Pro Stainless Cookware. Stacking and
crowding in cabinets or drawers may cause scratches.
