Recommendations for best food release:
• Always start with a clean pan.
• Let your food warm to room temperature before cooking.
• Preheat your pan for a few seconds on low to medium heat before adding
a little oil or butter for optimal frying.
• Wear and tear of your cookware and its ceramic non-stick coating is
normal. Over time there is a natural reduction of your pan’s non-stick
properties. This process is accelerated by prolonged exposure of the
non-stick surface to high heat, which causes carbonization of food and oil.
The patented Thermolon
TM
non-stick technology can withstand accidental
overheating up to 450°C for short periods, which is a safety feature. This
means that if your cookware is accidentally overheated, no toxic fumes will
be released. In addition, the coating itself will not blister or peel.
• This durable cookware can still be used if your cookware’s non-stick
properties have worn o completely, but you will have to use more butter
or oil.
Cooking oils and fats:
• We recommend using oil or butter, suitable for baking and frying (i.e. oils
with a high smoke point).
• Check the label of your butter or oil to see make sure it’s suitable for
cooking.
• Do not use any type of oil sprays, including aerosols, mist, and pump
sprays.
Care and use
Utensils:
• You can use metal utensils on your cookware’s durable Thermolon
TM
ceramic non-stick coating, but nylon, silicone or wooden utensils are
recommended to prolong the life of your pan. The coating, however cannot
withstand sharp objects or cutting (e.g. with forks and knives).
3) Care and Cleaning
• Allow the cookware to cool and then clean it thoroughly after each use.
• With the Thermolon
TM
ceramic non-stick coating, BK products are very
easy to clean and are dishwasher safe (except in case of a wooden
handle). To preserve the non-stick performance of your cookware,
however, it’s recommended to wash it in warm soapy water, rinse and
then dry with a towel. Ceramic non-stick coatings can break down in the
dishwasher due to the high salt content, bleach and phosphates of some
dishwashing detergents.
• Bare aluminum rims or rivets can discolor in the dishwasher, but this will
not aect the performance of your pan.
• Do not use sharp steel wool or nylon scrubbing pads.
• Deposits (called carbonization) can form on the non-stick coating as a
result of prolonged exposure to high heat while cooking with fats and oils.
High heat can carbonize oil and fat, which may accelerate the loss of non-
stick performance. If this happens, empty any loose food, partly ll the pan
with warm water and let it come to a quick boil, the food should be easily
wiped away with a soapy sponge.
• For tougher burns, we recommend a melamine foam sponge, available in
