n eSSentiaL PreCaUtiOnS
Never use Cuisinart ® MultiClad Pro Non-Stick Stainless Cookware on high
heat. Food will burn. The triple ply construction of this cookware is highly
conductive and efficient for quick, even heat distribution. We recommend
using a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil water, medium-high
is sufficient. Never leave Cuisinart ® Cookware or any pan empty over a hot
burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and cause damage to the stovetop.

n befOre USinG
Wash your new cookware in hot water with a mild soap or dish deter-
gent, or in a dishwasher, before using for the first time. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel, or you may place your
Cuisinart ® MultiClad Pro Non-Stick Stainless cookware in a dishwasher.
n eaSy maintenanCe
Immediately after each use, fill the pan with hot water and liquid dish
detergent; let stand until lukewarm. Use a sponge or soft cloth to remove
any remaining food particles. Do not use steel wool or other metal pads
that make coarse scratches. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately
for a flawless finish.
Cuisinart ® MultiClad Pro Non-Stick Stainless features oven-safe handles that
can withstand oven temperatures up to 500°F. Caution should be used when
handling any cookware handles and we recommend the use of potholders.
n What abOUt the diShWaSher?
Cuisinart ® MultiClad Pro Non-Stick Stainless is dishwasher-safe, but remember
that soil from other dishes may be abrasive. If the dishwasher is carelessly
packed, other dishes or flatware may mar the surface of the cookware. Over a
long period, regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any utensil.
We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
n PrOPer COOKinG UtenSiLS?
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your Cuisinart ®
MultiClad Pro Non-Stick Stainless Cookware. Refrain from cutting foods or
using sharp utensils such as forks, knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch
the cooking surface.
n tO remOve StainS
Calcium in your water may leave a multicolored stain. This is a harmless
deposit and can be removed with a little warm vinegar. Certain foods such
as pasta or oatmeal may leave a light residue or cloudy appearance. This can
be easily removed with any of these cleaning products: Bon Ami ® , Cameo ®
Stainless Steel or Metal Cleaner, Nevr-Dull ® .
n tO remOve StUbbOrn reSidUe
When food is burned in the pan, a stubborn black residue may remain.
If soaking does not loosen it, add water to a depth of one inch in the pan,
then add a tablespoon of dishwasher detergent (a non-lemon product). Bring
to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan, then
drain and rinse. Loosen the residue with a sponge or plastic spatula.
Repeat if necessary.
CaUtiOn:
Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out this procedure
under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a well-ventilated room.
n tO remOve bUrner StainS
Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of pans can be removed with an
oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and spray or brush the
cleaner on only the outside bottom of the pan. If the directions call for using
the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the pan before applying the cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly after cleaning.
n COOKinG Over a GaS bUrner
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches only the pan
bottom. If the flame comes up the sides of the pan, energy is wasted and the
sides of the pan may become permanently discolored.
imPOrtant nOte:
Cuisinart ® MultiClad Pro Non-Stick Stainless
Cookware has exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and even a low
setting on some gas burners will overheat or even burn foods such as
thinly sliced onions. An inexpensive gas “flame-tamer” placed between
the burner and the bottom of the pot solves this problem. Flame-tamers
are readily available at most hardware stores.
n COOKinG temPeratUre in Oven
Cuisinart ® MultiClad Pro Non-Stick Stainless Cookware can be used in the
oven without damage. Naturally, the handle as well as the pan will become
hot. Use potholders to prevent burns. The cookware can be used in the oven
at any baking temperature up to 500°F and can go from burner to oven and
to table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet.
n COnvenient StOraGe
A cookware rack or pegboard provides convenient, safe storage for your
Cuisinart ® MultiClad Pro Non-Stick Stainless Cookware. Stacking and
crowding in cabinets or drawers may cause scratches.
