Non-Stick Bakeware is an investment
that will prove its worth every time you use it.
When properly cared for, your Cuisinart
®
Non-Stick
Bakeware will give countless years of service and
pleasure. Follow the use and care suggestions
in this leaflet to preserve and maintain the
cookware’s original beauty.
BEFORE YOU BAKE
Wash the pan in warm, sudsy water. Rinse and
dry thoroughly. The performance of your Cuisinart
®
Non-Stick Bakeware depends on a thoroughly
clean baking surface. See cleaning instructions
below.
BAKING WITH CUISINART
®
NON-STICK BAKEWARE
PREPPING THE PAN:
Prepare the pan according
to recipe instructions. Grease and flour if directed.
Although the surface of Non-Stick Bakeware is
designed for easy release, following the recipe
instructions always gives the best results. You
may use spray oils with Non-Stick Bakeware. The
special nonstick formula used in our bakeware
makes spray oils easy to remove. (However,
DO NOT
use spray oils to cook in any Cuisinart
®
cookware items. The nature and content of
spray oils cause them to leave a gummy residue
on cookware that is very difficult to remove
completely and as a result, food may actually stick,
even on nonstick cookware!)
PREHEAT THE OVEN:
Preheat the oven to the
temperature recommended in the recipe. Keep in
mind, however, that no two ovens are calibrated
exactly the same. We recommend that you watch
foods closely the first few times you bake. This will
help you to determine how and when to adjust
either the baking temperature or the baking time.
Bakeware is oven safe to 450°F (230°C).
Do not use under the broiler.
UTENSILS:
Use only nylon, wood, or coated
utensils with Non-Stick Bakeware. This will help
prevent scratches and maintain the appearance
and performance of your bakeware. Using metal
utensils on any nonstick surface will damage the
surface over time. Always remove food from the
pan before slicing or cutting. The surface of
Non-Stick Bakeware makes it easy to remove
foods cleanly and completely.
CLEANING:
We recommend that you hand-wash
your bakeware thoroughly, inside and out, after
every use. However, Cuisinart
®
Non-Stick Bakeware
can be cleaned in the dishwasher if necessary.
Before you put the pan in water, allow it to cool.
Putting a hot pan in cooler water can warp the pan
and can create sudden steaming and hot water
spattering, which can cause burns. Use a sponge
or dishcloth with hot, sudsy water to remove
food from the pan’s baking surface and exterior
surfaces.
For burned-on or stubborn spots caused by high
baking temperatures, use Soft Scrub
®
and a soft
nylon or nylon-covered cleaning pad. (Keeping
the exterior free of built-up grease and food
stains helps to maintain the pan’s appearance
and performance.)
DO NOT IMMERSE OR SOAK
your insulated bakeware. Insulated bakeware
is designed to “breathe” and is not watertight.
Soaking can result in water collecting in the
airspace between the pan layers. (The nonstick
finish releases foods so easily, you should never
really need to soak any Non-Stick Bakeware.)
To dry out an insulated pan in which water
has collected, put the pan upside down in a
250°F (120°C) oven for 30 minutes.
DO NOT
USE
abrasive cleansers or cleaning pads, oven
cleaners or other caustic solutions, baking soda, or
dishwasher detergent. These cleaners will damage
the surface and void the Lifetime Warranty.
STORAGE:
DO NOT
stack or nest bakeware
items without a protective layer. This can result
in scratches on your nonstick surfaces. Like any
bakeware, Non-Stick Bakeware will show wear
after continued use. This will not affect the
bakeware’s performance.
