Congratulations on your purchase of Cuisinart
®
Cookware! Designed from the inside out for today’s gourmet chef, Cuisinart
®
Cookware combines uncompromising, superior cooking performance with naturally derived ceramic surface. We guarantee you
a lifetime of good cooking with your Cuisinart
®
Cookware.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in
your Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick
Cookware to maintain its appearance and performance.
Refrain from cutting foods or using sharp utensils such
as forks, knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch the
cooking surface. Slight surface marks and abrasions
are normal and will not aect the performance of the
Ceramica® XT coating.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Let your Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick
Cookware cool before cleaning. Cookware should be
washed by hand with hot, sudsy water and a soft mesh-
wrapped sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel
wool or other metal or abrasive pads that can scratch
your cookware. Do not soak cookware in water for an
extended period of time as this can aect the nonstick
performance. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry
immediately. NOTE: Do not put in the dishwasher,
since harsh detergents will harm the exterior and
interior finish.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware
has a smooth exterior finish, making it easier to clean
and maintain. Food residue or buildup on the exterior
of your cookware can easily be removed with hot,
soapy water and a scrub pad. The exterior of Cuisinart
®
Cookware, like other brands, may show wear with
continuous use. This condition will not in any way aect
the superior cooking performance of your cookware.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
Hanging pans by their handles on a Cuisinart
®
Cookware
rack provides convenient, safe storage for your
Cuisinart
®
Cookware. Do not store cookware in direct
sunlight. Use care if you store your cookware in
cabinets or drawers. Careless stacking and crowding
may cause scratches or chipping of the ceramic
interior surface.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all labels. Wash cookware in warm water with
a mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and
wipe dry with a soft dish towel.
HEALTHIER COOKING, EASY CLEANING
When cooking with your Cuisinart Advantage®
Ceramica XT Non-Stick 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 add only a minimum amount to the nonstick
surface of your cookware.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT COOKING
Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the
bottom of the pan. When cooking over a gas burner,
make certain that the flame touches only the bottom
of the pan. If the flame extends up the sides of the pan,
energy is wasted.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick
Cookware on high heat or food will burn. The aluminum
core of this cookware heats quickly and its even heat
distribution prevents hot spots. We recommend using
a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil
water, medium-high is sucient. Never leave Cuisinart
®
Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing
so can ruin the pan and void the warranty, and cause
damage to the stovetop.
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 information and
recommendations on use.
OVEN COOKING TEMPERATURE
Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware
can be used in the oven up to 350°F for short amounts
of time, not to exceed 20 minutes. Using Cuisinart
®
Cookware in the oven will cause the handles as well as
the pan to become hot. Use oven mitts when removing
the cookware from the oven. DO NOT place Cuisinart
®
Cookware under the broiler.
