Commercial Grade: Thoughtfully designed and expertly engineered to meet rigorous standards and best practices from select commercial testing.

For best results, use low to medium heat. When using high heat, bring pans slowly to a high temperature. Safe for use with metal utensils; wood, silicone, or plastic utensils are recommended to help protect enamel and maintain its appearance over time. Allow to cool before washing. Dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended.
Stubborn stains can be removed by soaking the pot for a few minutes in hot, soapy water. Completely dry pan before storing. Avoid using steel wool, steel scouring pads, harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners. Handles and knobs can become very hot.
