Cookware User Manual

The Sunbeam stainless steel cooking surface
is manufactured from high quality stainless
steel. Stainless steel is hygienic, easy to
care for and extremely durable. To keep your
stainless steel cooking surface looking good
and to achieve the best results, follow these
simple instructions:
Before the first use: ‘Season’ the cooking
surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil
and rub in with paper towelling. This will also
be necessary after cleaning in a dishwasher.
Use sufficient oil when sautéeing, pan frying
and roasting to prevent food sticking. Two to
three tablespoons is generally sufficient.
Do not use high temperatures to brown and
seal meat as this will cause it to stick. Use
settings 7-8. Food such as steaks, rissoles
and roasts will also stick if turned before
completely browned and sealed.
Note: To prevent food from sticking, maintain
low temperatures, ensure sufficient juices are
in the frypan and season the frypan before
and after each use. This will decrease as the
frypan receives continual use.
Do not use metal utensils: Continued use of
knives, forks or spoons will eventually start to
mark the stainless steel cooking surface. Use
plastic or wooden utensils.
To clean after each use: Wash in hot soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To remove
cooked-on food, fill the pan with hot water
and allow to stand for a few minutes. This
will soften the food, making cleaning easier.
Note: Never fill a hot frypan with cold water.
Do not use abrasives or scourers: Avoid using
harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as
continued use will scratch the highly polished
surface and make subsequent cleaning more
difficult.
Removing burnt-on food: Fill the pan with
20mm (1”) water, cover and simmer for five
minutes or until the burnt-on food softens
and lifts. For stubborn burnt-on food, leave
the frypan to soak overnight, after first
simmering as described. Then wash and dry
thoroughly.
Removing stubborn stains: These can be
removed by using any brand of stainless
steel powder cleaner. Rubbing a paste of
bicarbonate of soda and water into the
stained area is also helpful in removing
stains. Wash thoroughly.
Note: Re-season the cooking surface after
using any of the above methods to remove
stains.
Dishwasher-safe: Your stainless steel frypan
is completely dishwasher-safe. The heating
element is totally sealed so it is safe to fully
immerse in water.
