Use and Care:

 Use low to medium heat: High heat is never required because of the high thermal conductivity of SWISS DIAMOND cookware. Start with medium heat and adjust accordingly. Always place your pan on the center of the heating surface. Caution: Overheating can damage the cooking surface.

Proper Utensils: Silicone and wooden tools are recommended – metal utensils should not be used. Any tool with a sharp point or edge should not be used. Do not chop or  cut food in the pan. If using an immersion blender or electric beater, take care not to touch the sides or bottom of the pan.

Cleaning: Before using for the first time and after each use, wash cookware thoroughly with hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive detergents, oven cleaners or scouring pads, which may affect the quality of the non-stick surface. Although your cookware may be cleaned in the dishwasher, we recommend washing by hand. To maintain cooking efficiency, it is important that your cookware be thoroughly cleaned after each use. When any cookware is not cleaned properly, thin layers of food particles remain on the surface and may become carbonized when reheated. Carbonized layers will cause food to stick.

Using caustic soaps (especially high-powered dishwasher soaps) can dry out or bleach the nonstick coating. If the pan has been bleached repeatedly, the nonstick properties may be permanently lost. Using caustic or abrasive cleaners voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
