Please see the Care Instructions tab for important care information.
Please Note: Do not preheat on high setting. This pan and coating heats up very quickly and needs less heat than older style pans. It is best not to keep the heat higher than necessary for long periods of time.
How much cookware you need depends largely upon how often you cook, how many people you cook for and how elaborate your meals tend to be. It's very frustrating when you find yourself in the middle of preparing a big dinner and in need of one more saucepan, but you just don't have it. On the other hand, it can be very easy to accumulate far more cookware than you actually need.
The Basics
Most people will who do even a small amount of cooking will find a lot of uses for a couple of different size saucepans and a couple of different size skillets. Tight-fitting lids for the saucepans are also important when preparing dishes such as rice.
Beyond the Basics
You can prepare a lot of wonderful meals with just a few pans, but chances are you're going to need some other pieces at some point. Many cookware sets will include at least some of these items:
Care Instructions: Dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. If you choose to put cookware in the dishwasher use an alkaline-based detergent. Do not use any abrasive substances such as chemical or mineral cleaners. Do not use harsh or rough material to clean.
Do not use scouring pads or steel wool unless they are specifically made for ceramic-coated pans. One of the benefits of ceramic coating is that it is naturally non-stick, so most food particles and cooking oils will wipe off easily with a clean dry cloth. Make sure that your pan is clean and dry after use. Food particles that remain on your pan tend to become harder to remove after continued use. Dispose of packing materials in an environmentally friendly way.
