stainless steel
cookware
product number 18075
• Read the instructions. Keep them safe. Pass them on if you pass the cookware on.
before using for the first time
• Remove all packaging and labels, but keep the packaging till you’re satisfied the
cookware is functioning.
• Wash the cookware in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
suitable hob types are:
• Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, induction, solid fuel, or oil-fired.
mind your fingers
• Use oven gloves or a cloth when handling your cookware.
• Don’t touch the pan bodies or lids – use the handles and lid knobs.
do’s and don’ts
• The pans must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use
and store the pans out of reach of children.
• Don’t let flames lick up the sides of the pans.
• Don’t use the pans in an oven, a microwave oven, or over a camp fire.
• Don’t let the handles stick out where they might be caught accidentally.
• Don’t position the handles above other hotplates, or they may be too hot to handle.
• Don’t use the pans for deep frying. When frying, don’t fill more than a quarter full
with oil – that’s before any of the ingredients are added.
• Don’t leave food lying in stainless steel cookware after salt has been added to it.
• Don’t use sharp implements when using pans with non-stick coatings.
efficient cooking
• The pan base should be the same diameter as the hotplate (slightly larger is OK).
• Centre the pan on the hotplate.
• Cook on the lowest heat possible – excessive heat may damage the pan.
overheating/boiling dry
• Don’t pre-heat for more than 2 minutes – excessive heat may damage an empty pan.
• Don’t pre-heat cookware at all when using an induction hob – the rapid speed of
heating of an induction hob is likely to overheat the cookware, causing damage.
• If a pan with a non-stick coating overheats to the point where the non-stick coating
disintegrates, open the window, evacuate the room, close the door behind you, and
don’t return till the room has been thoroughly ventilated.
• If a pan overheats or boils dry, don’t move it – turn off the heat and leave the pan
where it is till it gets cold.
warning in extreme cases, the aluminium in the base may melt – moving the pan
could burst the base and release the molten aluminium.
