• Always allow cookware to cool down after use and before cleaning. Immediately after use; remove cookware from the heat source and let it cool on a heat resistant surface or trivet.
• Do not pour cold water into hot cookware as this may result in damage to the cookware including warping and oil or liquids to splatter; causing personal injury.
• Always wash cookware thoroughly after use with mild dishwashing detergent and warm water to remove all traces of food or grease particles otherwise these will burn when the cookware is next heated, causing stains and scorching.
• To remove stubborn stains, dried or burnt on food, partially fill the pan with 3 parts water to one part detergent or vinegar and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat source and set aside for a period to cool and allow these stains or deposits to soften; then wash in mild dishwashing detergent and warm water using a non-abrasive mesh pad or soft brush.
• Do not use steel wool, coarse scouring pads, or harsh abrasives to clean cookware.
• Do not use oven cleaners to clean cookware, as these are not designed for this purpose and will ruin the cookware.
• A spotted white film may form on cookware which is caused by minerals in water or from starch in food. This can be removed by rubbing with a sponge dipped in lemon juice or vinegar.

Dishwasher Use

• Whilst this cookware is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to prolong the life of the cookware. The use of harsh and abrasive detergents such as Powerball dishwashing tablets are not recommended.

Storage

• Always ensure cookware is dried thoroughly before storing away.
• It is recommended that paper towel is placed between cookware which may assist in preventing scratches to the surfaces during storage.

• This cookware is suitable for all cooktops including induction.
• Always refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions prior to using this cookware.

Induction Cooktops
• Only cookware with a magnetic base is suitable for use on induction cooktops, therefore glass, aluminum, and copper cookware are not appropriate. Depending on the metals used in construction, some enamel-based and stainless steel cookware are also not suitable for use on induction cooktops.
• To check cookware suitability place a magnet on the base, if the magnet adheres the cookware is suitable for use on induction cooktops.

Gas Cooktops
• When using a gas cooktop, always ensure the flame does not extend up the side of the cookware as this may damage the cookware and cause the handles to become hot, which may be dangerous.

Ceramic, Halogen and Induction Cooktops
• When using a ceramic, halogen or induction cooktop, extra care should be taken to ensure that the base of the cookware and the surface of the cooktop are cleaned after every use, otherwise the cooktop may be permanently marked.
• Always lift the cookware from a ceramic, halogen or induction cooktop. Avoid dragging or sliding cookware over the cooktop surface as this may damage the cooktop surface and base of the cookware.

• It is important to select the right size cookware for the cooking task and the right size burner to suit the cookware you are using.
• Ensure cookware is stable on the cooktop surface or trivet to prevent tipping. For optimum stability, line up the handles on the cookware with the trivets.
• Position cookware so that handles are not over other hot burners and do not allow handles to extend beyond the edge of the cooktop, as these may be in easy reach of children or or enable the cookware to be knocked off the cooktop; causing personal injury and damage to the cookware and flooring.
• Continuous high heat and/or overheating may shorten the life of cookware, cause discoloration and damage surfaces.
• For optimum results always use low to medium heat as this will spread the heat evenly, eliminating hot spots, which may burn food. This may also reduce lids rattling and food boiling over onto the cooktop.
• Do not leave unattended cookware on a hot cooktop; this is particularly important when using oil, as this may ignite causing a fire. Unattended cookware may become extremely hot and cause personal injury and damage to the cookware and cooktop.
• Do not allow cookware to boil dry and never leave empty cookware on a hot burner, as this may become extremely hot and cause personal injury and damage the cookware and cooktop. In the event of cookware boiling dry do not add liquids as these may splatter which could cause personal injury and damage the cookware. Do not attempt to move the cookware from the cooktop; turn off the heat source and allow the cookware to cool down. (refer to specific information above for ceramic and halogen cooktops).
• Always lift the cookware from the cooktop. Avoid dragging or sliding cookware over the cooktop surface as this may damage the cooktop surface and base of the cookware.

Lids

• Not all cookware products have lids; any reference to lids applies only when they are supplied with the product.
• It is important that the lid fits snugly, thereby trapping steam and creating a "self basting" environment, locking in nutrients and preserving flavours. Food, particularly liquids will cook faster and heat can be kept to a minimum, thus saving on gas and electricity.
• Do not use lids when deep frying.
• When removing lids always tilt the lid so steam is directed away from you.
• Do not place lids directly on a hot burner as they may warp and lose their lustre. • Allow hot lids to cool on a heat resistant surface or trivet. Placing hot lids on some surfaces may cause scorch marks.

We recommend using a mild detergent to avoid spotting. While your flatware is dishwasher safe, we do however recommend that you do not use any detergents with lemon of citrus. Loosely load your dishwasher so water circulates freely, and avoid contact with aluminum, other metal objects, and the heating element as high heat can be corrosive. Load the dishwasher with the handles of the forks and spoons pointing down and the knife handles up. NOTE: Although not recommended, hollow-handled knives may be washed in the dishwasher, but hot temperatures may loosen the handles. When washing by hand, use hot, soapy water; rinse and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Foods can leave acids or oils that may tarnish, so wash stainless promptly after each use. Avoid prolonged soaking, as the corrosive effect of water may cause pitting or staining.

Avoid surfaces that can dull or damage your knife such as china, marble, granite, tile, Formica, porcelain, stainless-steel counter tops and glass. Those surfaces can harm the cutting-edge retention.
Cutting surfaces should be smooth, easy to clean and "give” on contact with the knife’s edge. We recommend wooden or quality plastic cutting boards. No matter what cutting board you prefer, make sure that you’re cleaning it after each use.
Handwash recommended
Clean under lukewarm water with a mild detergent and a non-scratch cloth or sponge. Then dry immediately.
No metal is completely “stainless“. So please don’t allow acidic foods to remain on the blade. This may cause some slight tarnishing and you don’t want that. Always clean them right away.
Except meat cleavers, our knives are not made to cut bones. Also do not use knives for poking, prying, separating or cutting semi-frozen or frozen foods.
Properly store in knife blocks or protect using knife sheaths if hiding in drawers or cabinets.

Wash your cutting board by hand. If you’re just slicing bread, you can simply wipe it off..
Use liquid dish detergent to wash your cutting board.
Wipe your clean cutting board dry, and let it finish by air-drying on its side.
Don’t soak a cutting board. You can submerge it in water, but pull it out quickly. Soaking can cause the board to warp.
Don’t put wooden cutting boards in the dishwasher. The excessive heat and harsh chemicals of the dish detergent will cause the wood to dry out, warp, and/or crack.
Don’t use harsh, concentrated cleaners on your cutting board.
