Cuisinart FOREVER STAINLESS Series User manual

LIFETIME WARRANTY (U.S. AND CANADA ONLY)
Your Cuisinart®Forever Stainless Collection®cookware is
warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship
under normal home use from the date of original purchase
throughout the original purchaser’s lifetime.
HASSLE-FREE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
Your ultimate satisfaction in Cuisinart products is our goal,
so if your Cuisinart®Cookware should fail within the generous
warranty period, we will repair it or, if necessary, replace it at
no cost to you. To obtain a return shipping label, email us at
www.cuisinart.com/customer-care/product-return.
Or call our Consumer Service Center toll-free at
1-800-726-0190 to speak with a representative.
This warranty excludes damage caused by accident, misuse
or abuse, including damage caused by overheating, and it
does not apply to scratches, stains, discoloration or other
damage to external or internal surfaces which does not impair
the functional utility of the cookware.
This warranty also expressly excludes all incidental or
consequential damages. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the foregoing limitation or exclusion may not
apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights which vary from state to state.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
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, according to its
preference, 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. To obtain a return
shipping label, email us at
www.cuisinart.com/customer-care/product-return.
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair,
replacement, and shipping and handling for such
nonconforming products under warranty.

USE AND CARE GUIDE
COLLECTION
®

CUISINART®FOREVER STAINLESS COLLECTION®
Inspired by the iconic 6-point diamond, the Cuisinart®
Forever Stainless Collection®is designed with elegance.
This timeless, exceptionally crafted 11-piece set features
mirror-polished stainless steel cookware with riveted
stainless steel handles. The Forever Stainless collection
provides versatile performance and is safe to use in the
oven, broiler and freezer.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart®Forever Stainless Collection®cookware
on high heat. Food will burn. The aluminum encapsulated
base makes this cookware highly conductive and ecient for
quick, even heat distribution. We recommend using a low to
medium setting for most cooking. To boil water, medium-high
is sucient. Never leave Cuisinart®cookware or any pan empty
over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and cause damage
to the stovetop. Any material, if heated continuously at a high
enough temperature, will begin to decompose, damaging your
stovetop or cookware and/or causing personal injury. Never
leave cookware on the stovetop unattended. Do not allow
cookware to boil dry. If cookware boils dry, do not remove from
the stovetop immediately. Turn o the heat and allow to cool
naturally.
BEFORE USING
Wash your new cookware in hot water with a mild soap or
dish detergent, or in a dishwasher, before using for the first
time. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft
dish towel, or you may place your Cuisinart®Forever Stainless
Collection®cookware in a dishwasher.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, fill 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 can make scratches.
Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately for a flawless finish.
Cuisinart®Forever Stainless Collection®features oven-safe
handles that can withstand oven temperatures up to 500°F.
Glass lids are oven safe to 350°F only. Caution should be used
when handling any cookware handles and we recommend the
use of potholders.
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
Cuisinart®Forever Stainless Collection®is dishwasher safe, but
remember that soil from other dishes may be abrasive. If the
dishwasher is carelessly packed, other dishes or flatware may
mar the surface of the cookware. Over a long period, regular
dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any utensil. We
recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
WHAT ABOUT METAL UTENSILS?
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your
Cuisinart®Forever Stainless Collection®cookware. You may
prefer using metal utensils. These may scratch the cooking
surface, but will in no way impair the performance of your
Cuisinart®Forever Stainless Collection® 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.
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 this
procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a well-
ventilated room.
FOR USE ON INDUCTION STOVETOPS
Please consult your induction stovetop manual for information
on use. Please always center the cooking vessel on the burner
for optimal performance.
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.
COOKING OVER A GAS BURNER
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame
touches only the pan bottom. If the flame comes up the sides
of the pan, energy is wasted and the sides of the pan may
become permanently discolored.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cuisinart®Forever Stainless Collection®
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
“flame-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®Forever Stainless Collection®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. Glass lids are oven safe to
350°F only. DO NOT place Cuisinart®Non-Stick Cookware
under the broiler.
TO BREAK A VACUUM SEAL
The uniquely designed rims and covers form a perfect fit to
reduce the evaporation of liquids. If you leave the cover on
after turning the heat down or o, 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 o easily. If
you don’t want the lid to seal to the pan, remove the cover or
set it slightly ajar before turning o the heat.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
A cookware rack or pegboard for your Cuisinart®Forever
Stainless Collection®cookware provides convenient, safe
storage. Stacking and crowding in cabinets or drawers may
cause scratches.
