Before Your First Use
Wash Pasta Strainer in hot water with mild dishwashing detergent using a sponge, nylon pad
or dishcloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Using Your Wolfgang Puck Cookware
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 Pasta Strainer surface,
however this is only cosmetic and will not affect the performance of the Pasta Strainer.
Helpful Hints
Do not allow foods with high chloride (ex. salt) or acidic (ex. tomatoes) contents to remain in
Pasta Strainer after use. This can cause discoloration or pitting.
Cleaning
Your Pasta Strainer 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 Pasta Strainer, 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 Pasta Strainer for about 15 minutes. After cooling drain, rinse and dry.
Do not soak Pasta Strainer in water for a long period of time, even if it is heavily
soiled. The chlorine and mineral content of your water, especially iron, can cause
corrosion or discoloration.
Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaning pads, abrasive cleaners or stainless
steel cleaners.
Warning
THE HANDLES OF YOUR COOKWARE WILL GET HOT, USE A POTHOLDER OR OVEN
MITT AT ALL TIMES .
