Ecolution Impressions Use & Care
Thank you for choosing Ecolution cookware. Please carefully review
the following use, care and safety instructions, which contain
important information for the use and safe enjoyment of your new
cookware.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The handles are designed to “stay-cool” during use; however, they will
eventually get hot during an extended cooking session. Use of
potholders is always recommended. Keep handles from extending
over the front edge of the cooktop where they can be snagged by
clothing or small hands. Be sure to position handles away from other
burners to keep them from getting hot. REMEMBER: Put safety first!
DO NOT LEAVE AN EMPTY POT ON A HOT BURNER OR ALLOW
LIQUIDS TO BOIL DRY. Besides wasting energy, it may impair the
pan’s performance, discolor or damage it. DO NOT STORE FOOD IN A
PAN AFTER COOKING, ALWAYS TRANSFER IT TO ANOTHER
CONTAINER. Stovetop cookware is not designed for oven use.
BEFORE USING
Before using your new cookware for the first time, remove all
packaging, wash your pan in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry. For
best results, the non-stick surface should be “conditioned” by wiping
the INTERIOR of the pan with a light coating of cooking oil.
All non-stick surfaces benefit from periodic “conditioning”, especially
after repeated automatic dishwasher cleaning.
FOR THE BEST FOOD RELEASE
Always start with a clean pan. Wash carefully and be sure you’ve
removed all traces of cooking oil and food before you store your pan.
Remove food from the refrigerator 10 minutes before you intend to
cook. Remember to pre-heat your pan. When cooking do not add salt
to your pan until the liquid is at boiling point. Ecolution non-stick
cookware is designed for cooking without butter or oil. Butter or oil
can be used over low heat. Do not use non-stick sprays.
UTENSILS
Only use nylon or wooden utensils for Ecolution non-stick cookware.
You should NEVER cut or chop in the pan with a metal utensil. Slight
surface marks and abrasions are NORMAL and will not affect the
performance of the non-stick coating. Metal will cut into the non-stick
and should be avoided. COOKING ON THE STOVETOP
Stainless steel induction base is ideal for induction cooking. Ecolution
cookware is suitable for all surfaces including electric, gas, glass and
induction. Best results are obtained by preheating your cookware for
2 to 3 minutes on low heat. Cookware over heat should never be left
unattended nor empty for an extended time. Ideal cooking
temperature is approx. 300°F and this is achieved in only a few
minutes at low heat.
Continuous high heat may discolor and damage your cookware.
Select the right size burner to fit the bottom of the pan and adjust gas
flames so they do not extend up the sides of the pan.
Minor scratches will not harm the non-stick performance or affect
food cooking in the pan. The handles of your cookware are
constructed to minimize heat transfer. Touch lightly to be sure the
handles have not become hot. Use oven mitts or potholders if
necessary.
CLEANING
Immediately after cooking, remove the pan from heat and let it cool
on a heat-resistant surface. DO NOT POUR WATER INTO A HOT PAN.
This can cause grease to splatter and can cause the bottom of the
pan to warp. Always wash pan thoroughly with soap and water after
each use. Brief cleaning with a dishcloth may not remove all food or
grease particles, which may settle into the non-stick finish. If not
removed, they may burn when the pan is reheated, causing stains and
reducing the non-stick quality. To remove stubborn spots, use a
non-abrasive plastic mesh pad. Use only products which clearly state
they are safe for non-stick surfaces. Do not use steel wool, coarse
scouring pads or powders. Your cookware is dishwasher safe and
may be washed in an automatic dishwasher. A spotted white film
(minerals from water, buildup of detergents from the automatic
dishwasher) may form on the non-stick surface. This film can be
removed by rubbing the non-stick or anodized surface with a sponge
dipped in lemon juice or vinegar. Then wash, rinse, dry and recondition
the non-stick surface with cooking oil. Dishwasher detergents are very
hard on finishes. While your pans may be cleaned in a dishwasher, to
preserve the long lasting beauty of the pan, hand washing is
recommended.
