ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
NeveruseCuisinart®Professional Series Tri-Ply Stainless
Cookware on high heat. Food will burn. The triple ply construction
of this cookware is highly conductive andefficient for quick, even
heat distribution. We recommend using a low to medium setting for
most cooking. To boil water, medium-high is sufficient. Never leave
Cuisinart®Cookware or any panempty over a hot burner. Doing so can
ruin the panand cause damage to the stovetop.
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®Professional Series Tri-Ply Stainless
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
metal pads that make coarse scratches. Rinse thoroughly and dry
immediately for a flawless finish.
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
Cuisinart®ProfessionalSeries Tri-Ply Stainless 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®
Professional Series Tri-Ply 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
®
Professional Series
Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware. Youmay use a hand mixer with metal
beaterswhich can scratch the interior surface but will not impair the
cookware’s performance or its durability.
TO REMOVE STAINS
Calcium inyour water may leave a multicoloured stain. This is
from a harmless deposit and can be removed with a little warm
vinegar. Certain foods such aspasta or oatmeal may leave a light
residue or cloudy appearance. This can be easily removed with any
non-abrasive 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 (15 ml) 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.
TO REMOVE BURNER STAINS
Stains onthe outside bottom (not sides) of pans can be removedwith 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 applyingthe
cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
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 wastedand the sides of the pan may become permanently
discoloured.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cuisinart® Professional Series Tri-Ply 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 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
®
Professional Series Tri-Ply StainlessCookware can be used
in the oven without damage. Naturally, the handle as well asthe pan
will become hot.Use potholdersto prevent burns. The cookware can
be used in the oven at any baking temperature up to 500°F (260°C)
and can go from burner to broiler to table when placed ona heat-
resistant trivet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Glass covers are only oven-safeupto
350°F (177°C).
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 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
