Dishwasher and Oven Safe
The Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 8-Quart Covered Multi-Pot with Stainless Steel Pasta Insert and Steamer are dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleaning. You can use the multi-pot safely in the oven at temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The multi-pot is intended for gas, electric, electric ring, halogen, or glass ceramic stove tops, and should be used with nylon, coated, or wooden utensils to protect the nonstick interior from damage.
How to Cook with Nonstick:
Never use cooking spray. Aerosol cooking spray leaves a gummy residue that is difficult to remove, and that residue will cause food to stick. Instead, use an oil mister filled with olive or vegetable oil, or dab a bit of oil on a paper towel and carefully wipe the interior of the pan.
Use the correct heat setting. Use low heat for warming, simmering and preparing sauces; use medium heat for frying, grilling, sautéing, searing or stir-frying; use high heat for boiling or reducing liquids.
Preheat the pan. Nonstick cookware can take a minute or two longer to preheat compared to aluminum or stainless steel cookware. For best results, make sure your nonstick pan is heated to the proper temperature before adding food.
