Before You Cook
-
Wash your
new Calphalon One Infused Anodized Sauce Pan and cover in hot, sudsy
water. Rinse and dry.
-
Do not
season your Calphalon One Infused Anodized Sauce Pan before using it.
To enjoy optimum performance from your Calphalon cookware, keep it
scrupulously clean. Any kind of oily residue on your Calphalon One Infused Anodized
Sauce Pan can cause foods to stick.
Cooking
With Infused Anodized Cookware
Heat Settings
Use a lower heat setting than you normally would.
Calphalon cookware heats and cools more quickly than other cookware because
it's made of heavy-gauge aluminum. It's also important to use the right heat
setting for the cooking method you're using (not too high or too low).
Experiment to find the right heat settings on your stove. No two stoves work
alike. Determine where the settings work best for your stove. You may want
to write them down for future reference.
In general, we recommend:
-
High heat
for boiling or reducing liquids only.
-
Medium to
medium-high heat for sautéing, stir frying, and frying.
-
Low heat
for warming food, simmering, and preparing delicate sauces.
Cooking
Oils and Sprays
A small amount of oil, butter, or margarine is all you need for easy food
release when you follow these basic steps:
-
Take
foods out of the refrigerator and allow them to rest on the counter about
10 minutes before cooking. Placing chilled food in a heated pan causes
sticking, even in stick-resistant pans.
-
Preheat
the Calphalon One Infused Anodized Sauce Pan and oil properly (see
Stove-Top Use).
-
Use the
proper temperature to cook (see Heat Settings).
Utensils
Feel free to use any utensils on Calphalon One Infused
Anodized, including metal, wood and nylon. Do not use sharp
instruments or appliances such as electric mixers to cut, chop, or whip
foods in the pan.
Stove-Top Use
Preheating
When sautéing, stir-frying or frying, always preheat the
Calphalon One
Infused Anodized Sauce Pan at the temperature setting you'll use to cook.
Preheating provides maximum control for the cooking process. The
Calphalon One Infused Anodized
Sauce Pan is properly
preheated when the rim is hot-to-the-touch.
Do not preheat on high
to heat the Calphalon One Infused Anodized Sauce Pan
faster. For cooking techniques such as sautéing, stir frying, or
preparing an omelette, preheat at medium to medium-high. This will make sure
your food begins cooking properly as soon as you place it in the pan.
TIP: The Butter
Test
Heat the pan over medium
to medium-high heat. When the rim of the pan is hot-to-the-touch, rub a
teaspoon of butter over the inside of the pan. When the butter begins to
bubble briskly (it should not brown), it's ready for the ingredients. If the
butter begins to burn and turn brown, the heat setting is too high.
Carefully wipe the burned butter out of the pan with a paper towel,
lower the heat and begin again.
You can do the butter test
even if you don't want to use it as a cooking medium, simply wipe it out
with a paper towel and use the medium of your choice, or none at all.
Heat cooking oils
When searing our sautéing, a small amount of butter or oil is all you need.
Your recipe may call for more; if so, we recommend you follow the recipe.
Allow the oil to heat for a minute before adding food to the pan. Do not use
aerosol cooking sprays with Calphalon One Infused
Anodized. These sprays contain a chemical propellant that is difficult to
remove from cookware. To keep cooking oil to a minimum, try using a mister
filled with your favorite olive oil. Alternatively, dab a bit of oil on a
paper towel and carefully wipe the bottom of the pan.
PLEASE REMEMBER
Shorter handles, higher
cooking temperatures and longer cooking times can cause handles to get hot,
especially Infused Anodized products. Cool V long handles on Calphalon One
Infused Anodized dramatically reduce heat conduction along the handle
allowing for more comfortable cooking.
Oven & Broiler Use
Infused anodized pans can be used in the oven and under the broiler.
PLEASE REMEMBER
Handles will become very hot
in the oven or broiler. Always use a potholder or mitt to prevent burns when
removing pans from the oven.
Cleaning
Do not clean
Calphalon One Infused
Anodized cookware in a dishwasher.
Dishwasher detergents will damage the surface. Dishwasher use will
void your Lifetime Warranty.
Hand wash your cookware thoroughly inside and out after every use.
Wash with hot, sudsy water and a dishcloth or sponge.
To restore your pans to "like new" condition, wash with a green Scotch Brite
pad and Bar Keeper's Friend. Pay special attention to rinsing
when you use
Bar Keeper's Friend;
without careful rinsing, the cleaner may occasionally leave a powdery soap
film.
Recommended Cleaners
• Bar Keeper's Friend
Recommended Cleaning
Pad
• Scotch-Brite
DO NOT USE
Oven cleaners or other caustic
cleaning solutions, baking soda, automatic dishwasher detergent, liquid
bleach, liquid household cleaners used for walls, floors, porcelain, etc.
Always allow your pan to cool before washing. Submerging a
hot pan in water can cause irreparable warping.
For stubborn burnt-on spots, allow your pan to cool then
soak in hot, soapy water for 10 minutes. Burnt-on foods will lift off after
soaking.
To restore shine to stainless steel covers, wash with a
dish cloth or sponge and Bar Keeper's Friendâ.
Because Calphalon One is hand-crafted cookware, you
may notice subtle variations in the pans' finish. These "character lines"
are perfectly normal -a natural result of the manufacturing process.
TIP
If eggs and other foods
begin sticking, even after following preheating and butter test
instructions, it's a sure sign that grease and food residue have built up on
the cooking surface. Clean thoroughly, referring to the recommended
cleansers.
