PROPER COOKING UTENSILS We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your Cuisinart Advantage Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware to maintain its appearance and performance. Refrain from cutting foods or using sharp utensils such as forks, knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch the cooking surface. Slight surface marks and abrasions are normal and will not affect the performance of the Ceramica XT coating.
EASY MAINTENANCE Let your Cuisinart Advantage Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware cool before cleaning. Cookware should be washed by hand with hot, sudsy water and a soft mesh- wrapped sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel wool or other metal or abrasive pads that can scratch your cookware. Do not soak cookware in water for an extended period of time as this can affect the nonstick performance. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. NOTE: Do not put in the dishwasher, since harsh detergents will harm the exterior and interior finish.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR Cuisinart Advantage Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware has a smooth exterior finish, making it easier to clean and maintain. Food residue or buildup on the exterior of your cookware can easily be removed with hot, soapy water and a scrub pad. The exterior of Cuisinart
Cookware, like other brands, may show wear with continuous use. This condition will not in any way affect the superior cooking performance of your cookware.
CONVENIENT STORAGE Hanging pans by their handles on a Cuisinart Cookware rack provides convenient, safe storage for your Cuisinart Cookware. Do not store cookware in direct sunlight. Use care if you store your cookware in cabinets or drawers. Careless stacking and crowding may cause scratches or chipping of the ceramic interior surface.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME Remove all labels. Wash cookware in warm water with a mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and wipe dry with a soft dish towel.
HEALTHIER COOKING, EASY CLEANING When cooking with your Cuisinart Advantage Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware, you do not need to add oil or butter to prevent foods from sticking. If you wish to enhance the flavor and appearance of foods, you need add only a minimum amount to the nonstick surface of your cookware.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT COOKING Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the bottom of the pan. When cooking over a gas burner, make certain that the flame touches only the bottom of the pan. If the flame extends up the sides of the pan, energy is wasted.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS Never use Cuisinart Advantage Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware on high heat or food will burn. The aluminum core of this cookware heats quickly and its even heat distribution prevents hot spots. 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 void the warranty, and cause damage to the stovetop.
COOKING ON A GLASS STOVETOP To avoid scratching a glass cooktop, do not slide cookware on the glass surface. Please consult your glass cooktop manual for information and recommendations on use.
