USING THE FLAVOR INFUSION POT USING THE FLAVOR INFUSION POT

The Georey Zakarian 6 QT Flavor Infusion Pot is specially designed to seal in flavor while cooking.
The Flavor Infusion Lid acts as a low pressure lid, reaching up to 1 PSI (pounds per square inch) in
pressure. 1 PSI works to keep flavor inside the food while providing an even cook.
You can use the Flavor Infusion Pot with the Flavor Infusion Lid or with the included regular Glass
Lid. Using the Flavor Infusion Lid will result in exceptionally tender meats and vegetables for
delicious meals.
You can also use the Flavor Infusion Pot with the included Glass Lid for regular cooking.
The Flavor Infusion Pot is similar to a Dutch Oven and delivers superior home-cooked results.
The Flavor Infusion Pot can be used either on the stovetop or in the oven. Maximum stovetop
temperature is 500°F, and maximum temperature inside the oven is 300°F.
1. Place your food inside the non-stick cast iron pot. To cook with additional pressure, use the
Flavor Infusion Lid.
2. Place the Flavor Infusion Lid on the pot. Push the Locking Handles in towards the body of the
pot to seal the Flavor Infusion Lid in place.
3. The Pressure Valve regulates pressure automatically during cooking.
NOTE:It is normal for liquid or condensation to gather around the pressure valve
4. When you are done cooking, remove the Flavor Infusion Pot from the heat source and allow to
cool. Because the pressure is low, at any point you can unlock the Locking Handles and open
the lid to check doneness.
1. When using the Glass Lid, cook as if you were using a regular cast iron pot.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT lock the Glass Lid on to the Flavor Infusion Pot using the
Locking Handles. There is no way for increased pressure to escape during cooking and it
may damage the Glass Lid.
2. When cooking time has elapsed, remove the Flavor Infusion Pot from the oven or stovetop and
place on a trivet to cool. Make sure to use kitchen gloves, as the Flavor Infusion Pot will be hot.

ABOUT THE NON-STICK CAST IRON FLAVOR INFUSION POT PROPER USAGE
1312
Cooking over a high heat burner for prolonged periods may
cause staining.
Do not season your Zakarian Cookware with oil, as you typically would
with cast iron cookware. Doing so will damage the non-stick coating.
Avoid using extra virgin olive oil over high heat as it will burn
and leave a thin carbonized layer on the surface.
Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on non-stick cast iron
as it damages the coating and is dicult to remove.
Preheat with oil, butter or water
Use a small amount of oil, butter or water to lightly and evenly coat the
inside surface each time you cook. Do not use aerosol cooking sprays.
Allow the oil to heat for a minute before adding food. Never heat your
cookware empty or dry as this can result in property damage or injury.
Use low to medium heat
Use low to medium burner heat when cooking to avoid damage to the
cookware or coating. Cooking over a high heat burner for prolonged
periods may cause staining and/or an uneven distribution of heat.
Your cookware is oven-safe up to 300°F.
Use extreme caution when using the cookware on glass stovetops as
this may scratch or damage the glass.
Non-stick safe utensils only
Silicone, nylon, or wood utensils are recommended to protect the
non-stick coating. Metal utensils may scratch the non-stick coating.
Allow to cool
Always allow the cookware to cool before submerging into water or other
liquids. Never put a hot pan on a cold surface such as a marble countertop.
Use a trivet.
Georey Zakarian Cookware has a unique non-stick coating that
is not like other cast iron products. Follow these tips to ensure
the longevity of your product:

GENERAL CLEANING CUSTOMER SUPPORT & WARRANTY
CLEANING TOUGH STAINS AND BUILDUP
15
14
The Flavor Infusion Pot and
lids are NOT dishwasher safe.
The Locking Handles may
become brittle if exposed to
high heat and abrasive cleaners
inside of the dishwasher.
Hand-washing with a soft
towel or sponge in warm,
soapy water is recommended
to prolong the cookware’s
original appearance.
Never use steel wool or abrasive
cleaning pads, as these may
scrape o the coating. Do not
use harsh cleaners.
Soaking
Try soaking the cookware overnight in hot, soapy water. For really tough stains like
barbecue sauce, mix ½ cup of dishwasher detergent with 2 cups of hot water.
Let stand in the cookware overnight then rinse and wash thoroughly.
Solution
For some foods, simmering ½ cup of vinegar and scrubbing with a non-abrasive
sponge will give better cleaning results. Do not use metal sponges or brushes.
Buildup
To help clean any discoloration or oil buildup, clean with a solution of baking soda
and warm water using a soft towel or sponge.
Always allow the cookware to
cool before cleaning. Filling
with cold water before cooling
may damage the cookware.
