Cleaning and care instructions of porcelain on steel cookware

Before first use

• Remove the label stickers before first use. Label stickers can be easily removed from your cookware. Use a non-metallic utensil to lift one of the corners and scrape away any remaining sticker. Rubbing alcohol is also good to remove any residue from the label. Never use a knife or metal tools to scrape the base as it may cause scratches and damage that will affect the following uses.
• Wash the unit before use with warm water, mild soap and use a non-abrasive cleaning pad or sponge.
• In the case of frying pans and sauté pans, heat oil over low heat for a couple of minutes, remove the oil and wash it again.
• In the case of pots, fill ¾ water of its capacity and boil for about 20 or 30 minutes, remove the liquid and wash again.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a cloth or paper towel to prevent limescale formation and obtain shiny surface.

While cooking

• Cook over medium or low heat. Food nutritional values will be better preserved and irreparable damage on the surface will be prevented.
• Choose the stovetop not exceeding the base of the pan, mainly when using gas cooking hobs. You will get better results and will make cleaning easier.
• Do not use metal utensils with nonstick coating, as it may get scratched and will lose its nonstick features slowly. Always use wooden, silicone or polyethylene utensils. This way, the nonstick coating will last longer.
• Never chop or cut food directly on your porcelain on enamel pots or frying pans.
