Cast iron is recognized as one of the best materials for  

cookware because of its ability to retain heat and provide  

 

used for almost any recipe from roasts to desserts.  

It performs well with a variety of cooking methods from 

searing, browning, grilling, braising or roasting to 

simmering. Many pan styles are available for cooking soups, 

sauces, casseroles, grills, quiches, breads, etc.

Dishwasher safe.

 

Remove all labels and hang tags. Wash cookware with a mild dish  

soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately 

Pans with nonstick surfaces should be wiped with cooking oil  

to condition them. 

 

Cookware is suitable for all range tops: gas, electric, ceramic or 

induction. Always use a low-medium heat setting. To boil water, 

surfaces must be treated and are not suitable for dry cooking: select 

either oil, butter or a cooking spray to use and completely cover 

the pan’s inside base before heating begins. Nonstick surfaces can 

be used dry, but pay careful attention not to overheat any surface. 

Always use potholders to grip side handles or cover knobs, as they 

will become hot. Never leave pans unattended at any time while 

cooking. Never leave an empty pan over a hot burner; doing so 

could ruin the cookware and cause damage to the stovetop.

 

Pans are oven safe to 500°F. Caution should be used when 

handling any cookware handles. Always use potholders to grip 

side handles or cover knobs, as they will become hot.  

 

Place hot pans on trivet or wooden board when serving. Never 

place a hot pan directly on an unprotected surface.

 

To protect and preserve the surface of the pans, use only wooden, 

plastic or heat-resistant nylon kitchen tools to avoid scratching 

the enamel interior. We do not recommend using metal utensils, 

as they may scratch pan’s surface (but will not impair its 

performance). Do not cut food directly in the cookware. You may 

use hand blenders or mixers directly in the cookware; this may 

 

pan with cold water or plunge into cold water because thermal 

to remove any remaining food particles. Do not use steel wool or 

other metal pads that make coarse scratches. Rinse thoroughly 

and dry immediately. If preferred, cookware may be cleaned 

in the dishwasher. Scrub pan edges gently to clean if there is any 

discoloration or residue. To remove tough stains, cleaning products 

such as Bon Ami® or a little warm vinegar may be used. Cover 

knobs may become loose over a period of time. We recommend 

checking them occasionally and tightening knobs as needed. 

 

Do not store pans when they are still damp and always store 

carefully in a dry cupboard area. Avoid stacking and overcrowding 

when storing cookware to prevent scratching and chipping of cast 

iron surface.
