INSTRUCTIONS

📚 Introduction
Berlinger Haus cookware is crafted from carefully selected, multi-layered materials to ensure high-quality performance and durability. The core of our cookware is made from cast aluminum alloy, which is formed under high pressure to create a flat base, ensuring even heat distribution. This base undergoes sandblasting, which prepares it for a plasma coating that prevents oxidation. Finally, we finish with three layers of our reinforced non-stick coating, which is PFOA-free, making it both durable and safe for everyday use.

🍳 General Use
Use the right cookware for your stove.

• Gas Stoves: Center the flame directly under the cookware. Avoid letting the flame extend up the sides, as this can cause damage.

• Electric Cooktops: Ensure both the cookware base and the cooktop are clean before use. Avoid dragging the cookware across the surface to prevent scratches.

• Induction Cooktops: Like electric stoves, keep both surfaces clean to prevent permanent marks.

For maximum energy efficiency and performance, always match the base diameter of your cookware with the correct burner size.

🔥 Temperature and Heating
Use low to medium heat for best results.

Berlinger Haus cookware is designed with excellent thermal conductivity, meaning high heat isn’t necessary. Start with low heat, and adjust as needed. Always center your cookware on the heating surface.

• Preheating: Set your burner to low and increase to medium for 3 minutes before adding your food. This ensures even heat distribution and reduces the need for high heat during cooking.

• Do Not Overheat: Overheating can damage the non-stick surface and alter the exterior color. Damage from overheating is not covered under warranty.

🍽 Using Appropriate Utensils
For the longevity of your cookware, choose the right tools.

• Use silicone or wooden utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Avoid sharp or pointed tools, and never chop or cut food directly in the cookware. Although small scratches may appear over time, they won’t affect performance and are not covered by warranty.

• Utensil Use During Cooking: Don’t leave utensils in the cookware while cooking. Use a spoon rest instead.

🥄 Using Cooking Oils
Berlinger Haus cookware is designed for minimal oil use. If you prefer to cook with oil, avoid overheating it to the point of burning. Burnt oil can create a residue that carbonizes over time, impacting the non-stick properties.

• Avoid Cooking Sprays: These can cause a buildup, leading to carbonization even at low temperatures.

🔒 Cookware Safety
Cook safely to avoid accidents and prolong the life of your cookware.

• Never leave your cookware unattended on a hot stove.
• Avoid boiling dry or letting cookware overheat without food or water.
• Always turn handles away from the stove’s edge to prevent spills and injuries.

🧽 Daily Cleaning
Hand-washing is the best method for cleaning Berlinger Haus cookware.

• Use hot, soapy water with a nylon brush, scrub pad, or soft cloth for cleaning.

• Avoid dishwashers, as harsh chemicals in dishwasher detergents can degrade the non-stick coating over time.

• Important: Never use metal or abrasive pads, and always hand dry the cookware with a soft cloth to ensure it’s completely dry before storing.

🛠 Removing Stubborn Food and Oil Buildup
Over time, dark buildup may appear on the surface due to residue from food and oil. This buildup won’t damage the cookware but can be difficult to remove.

• Baking Soda Method:
  1. Mix baking soda with water to create a paste.
  2. Rub the paste on the affected areas.
  3. Scrub with a nylon brush or a soft cloth.
  4. Rinse, wash with soapy water, and dry thoroughly.

Avoid harsh chemicals or oven cleaners, as they will ruin the non-stick surface.

✨ Cleaning the Exterior and Base
Keep your cookware looking as good as new with this simple cleaning solution:

• Homemade Cleaning Solution:
  1. Mix 1 liter of water with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, cream of tartar, or white vinegar.
  2. Bring this solution to a boil and use it with a nylon brush or scrub pad to clean the exterior.
  3. Rinse with warm, soapy water, and dry thoroughly.

🛒 Daily Maintenance and Storage
Proper maintenance ensures long-lasting performance.

• After cooking, fill the hot pan with 2 inches of water to cool it down before washing.
• Hand wash thoroughly with hot, soapy water and dry immediately.

Storage:

• When stacking cookware, place a clean paper towel, cloth, or pan protectors between pieces to avoid damaging the non-stick surface.
• If necessary, handles can be tightened using a cross-head screwdriver.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure your Berlinger Haus cookware stays in excellent condition for years to come. At Berlinger Haus, we’re dedicated to providing you with the highest quality cookware and customer satisfaction.
