Cuisinart GreenGourmet Hard-Anodized Nonstick Cookware Series
-------------------------------------------------------------
Inspired by the great French kitchens, Cuisinart began making
professional cookware over 35 years ago. Constructed of the
finest materials available to perfectly perform all of the
classic cooking techniques, Cuisinart GreenGourmet Hard-Anodized
cookware continues a long tradition of excellence. Today, more
and more home cooks are going green… and so is Cuisinart
cookware!
Nonstick coating for any kitchen task Cuisinart's GreenGourmet
cookware is designed with an exclusive Cuisinart Ceramica
nonstick surface, which features a petroleum-free, ceramic-based
coating that is applied at a temperature one half that of
traditional nonsticks. The coating does not contain PTFE and
PFOA, substances often used in nonstick cookware that have raised
concerns over the years. It was also developed using
manufacturing techniques that reduce harmful carbon emissions by
consuming less energy. The coating is also water-based, unlike
other nonstick coatings on the market, which are solvent-based.
In addition, Cuisinart's cookware has a scratch-resistant
nonstick surface that won't peel off. The new cookware conforms
to FDA and European RoHS standards for environmentally sound
products. These pans should be hand-washed with a mild detergent.
Cuisinart also gets some green cred from the packaging, which is
made from 100 percent recycled materials and is printed using 100
percent biodegradable soy ink.
The pans deliver superior heat conductivity, requiring less
energy to achieve the desired cooking temperature. Harder than
stainless steel, the skillet's hard anodized exterior is dense,
nonporous, and highly wear-resistant for extra durability and
professional performance as well as quick and even heat
distribution. Additionally, the securely riveted stay-cool steel
handles are manufactured using 70 percent recycled stainless
steel and is oven-safe to 500 degrees F, so food can be browned
on the stovetop then transferred to the oven to finish cooking.

diameter of the bottom of the pan. When cooking over a

wasted.

Proper Cooking Utensils
-----------------------
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your Cuisinart
GreenGourmet Cookware to maintain its appearance and performance.
Refrain from cutting foods or using sharp utensils such as forks,
knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch the cooking surface.
Slight surface marks and abrasions are normal and will not affect
the performance of the Cuisinart Ceramica coating.
Durable Cookware for a Lifetime of Great Meals
----------------------------------------------
With a little bit of care, you’ll enjoy a great performance from
your Cuisinart GreenGourmet cookware for years to come. A careful
hand washing after each use is usually all it takes. But if pans
become crusty or heavily greased, a couple of hours soaking in
hot sudsy water and a light scrub will have them looking like
new. Seasoning your pans twice a year helps to maintain optimal
performance, and it’s easy! Just add a half-tablespoon of
vegetable oil and spread it around the entire interior, right up
to the rim. Then place the pan in a preheated 300°F oven for an
hour. Carefully remove the pan, allow it to cool completely, and
wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. Be gentle with your
cookware! Avoid stacking, which may cause chipping of the ceramic
interior. Show it off on a Cuisinart cookware rack, or store it
carefully, with a little breathing room, in your kitchen
cabinets.
