KitchenAid 18/10 Stainless Steel Pasta Insert Use & Care Manual

•  All KitchenAid cookware is designed 

for use on gas, electric, and induction 

cooktop surfaces.

•  Use potholders or oven mitts when 

handling hot cookware.

•  Before use, wash in hot, soapy water, 

rinse, and dry.

•  Use low to medium heat for best 

cooking. Use high heat for cooking such 

as boiling, searing, stir-fry, etc.

•  Use oil that cooks best with moderate 

heat. Temperatures that are too high or 

too low cause sticking.

•  To minimize sticking when frying,  

sautéing, or searing, preheat the pan for 

1–2 minutes over low heat before adding 

foods.

•  For best results when cooking cold items 

like potatoes, microwave them first for 

a minute or two to keep them from 

sticking.

•  For best results, use cooking 

spray designated as “less-residue.” 

Recommended oils for flavor include  

olive oil, peanut oil, or sesame oil.

•  For best results, place cookware on a 

burner close in diameter to the pan in 

use. If cooking with gas, do not allow  

the flame to go up the sides of the pan. 

•  Do not leave an empty pan on a hot 

burner or allow pan to boil dry. This  

may damage the cookware finish.

•  Cookware is oven safe up to 500°F.
•  Nonstick cookware only: avoid using 

sharp-edged and metal utensils that may 

scratch or cut the nonstick surface.

•  Nonstick cookware only: do not cut 

inside the cookware.

•  Nonstick cookware only: do not place 

under the broiler.
