Care & Maintenance: Congratulations on your purchase of fine cookware from the First Street Professional Collection. For best performance and keep to your utensils looking new, please follow these instructions carefully. Your First Street pots and saucepan should be seasoned before first using them. This greatly reduce the likehood of discoloration. Wash the pot with soap and water. Rinse and dry. Then spread a small amount of light cooking oil inside the pot. Slowly heat it until quite hot, but before smoke is visible. Turn off heat and let it cool. Again add oil and heat. Cool and heat one more time. Empty and clean pot with cold water. Your pot is now seasoned. To clean your aluminum cookware after cooking, use hot water and soap detergent that are mild enough to be applied with bare hands. Detergent too strong for your hands may reduce the lifespan of your new cookware. Rinse your cookware with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Rinse your cookware with water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Most automatic dishwashing processes and detergent are too strong for proper care. Therefore to insure longer life utility we recommend that you do not place your cookware in the dishwasher. If your cook foods with high alkali or iron content, or boil plain water, this may cause discoloration or staining. This discoloration or staining can be easily removed, either by cooking acidic foods (tomatoes, rhubarb, etc.) or by using a mild aluminum cleaner. This removes the stain without affecting the taste, color or quality of the food. Your new cookware should never be used as a storage container. Non-Stick Coating: If your First Street fry pans have a non-stick coating, do not use metal utensils when cooking or any abrasives when cleaning. This will help protect the coating. To season your fry pan, wash rinse and dry it. Then rub with a thin of cooking oil. Use of First Street Aluminum Cookware with certain highly acidic foods and/or some barbecue will reduce the service life of the cookware. Regular inspection of the cookware for suitability in use should be made by the purchaser. We sincerely hope you enjoy the ease of cooking and find culinary results which will be yours with the new First Street Professional Cookware Collection.
