Helpful Hints

The handles of your cookware are designed to minimize heat transfer under normal stovetop cooking conditions, however it is recommended to use a potholder, towel or oven mitt at all times.

Do not allow foods with high chloride (ex. salt) or acidic (ex. tomatoes) contents to remain in cookware after use. This can cause discoloration or pitting.

We recommend that you do not let food or liquids exceed the rivet line on your cookware.

Cleaning

Your cookware is dishwasher safe, however hand washing is recommended to retain the original luster and shine. To clean simply use warm water, a mild dishwashing soap and a soft sponge or nylon pad. Dry thoroughly.

Removing Stains

We recommend the use of stainless steel cleaners to remove stubborn stains from your cookware, such as Wolfgang Puck Bistro Stainless Steel Cleaning Set, Bon Ami®, Cameo® or Barkeeper’s Friend®.

To remove baked on food use a mild detergent in about 1 inch of water. Boil and then simmer in cookware for about 15minutes. After cooling drain, rinse and dry.

influential chef-restauranteurs in America, is credited with reviving California’s

rich culinary heritage. His cooking innovations, a result of blending fresh

California ingredients with his classical French techniques, are enjoyed by world

leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established other trend-setting restaurants

like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois on Main in Santa Monica,Trattoria

del Lupo, and his latest creation, Cut, a gourmet steakhouse in the Beverly

Wilshire Hotel. Home chefs can also share Mr. Puck’s talents through

his cookbooks and, of course, through his cookware!

Before Your First Use

Wash cookware in hot water with mild dishwashing detergent using a sponge, nylon pad or dishcloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Using Your Wolfgang Puck Cookware

Heat Settings

The aluminum sandwich construction on the bottom of your Wolfgang Puck cookware is highly conductive for quick,even heat distribution. Therefore, high heat is not necessary with the exception of boiling. Prolonged exposure to highheat settings can discolor or permanently damage your cookware.

When using a gas burning stove do not allow the gas flame to rise up along the side of the pan. This may permanentlydiscolor the cookware and cause the handle to get very hot.

Frying

Always start with a clean pan.

Pre-heat the pan for 1-2 minutes on medium to medium high heat.

After pre-heating your pan, coat the bottom with 1-2 tablespoons of oil or butter. Let heat until oil begins to ripple orbutter stops bubbling and begins to brown.

Add food to pan, however do not move food until you can see caramelization or browning around the edges. This willprevent food from sticking.

If food begins to stick even after following preheating instructions, check your heat setting and make sure your cookwareis clean. High heat or grease build up can cause sticking.

Boiling

Bring liquid to a full boil before adding salt, stir to dissolve completely.

Direct contact with salt can cause white spots or pitting on the cookware surface, however this is only cosmetic and will not affect the performance of the cookware.

Nonstick Cookware

If your cookware has a nonstick coating only use silicone, nylon or wooden tools. Do not cut or use sharp metal utensilson your cookware.

Warming Racks

If your cookware includes a warming rack or stand, place a tea-light candle in the candle holder on the base of thewarming rack and light with a match or lighter. Then place pan or ramekin on warming rack.

DO NOT LEAVE WARMING RACK UNATTENDED WHILE CANDLE IS BURNING.

Glass Casseroles

If your cookware includes a glass casserole, it is dishwasher safe and oven safe to 500°F.
