Care: wash before first use with dish detergent and warm water and dry thoroughly. Allow pots and lids to cool completely before cleaning; avoid immersing hot cookware in cold water to prevent deformation. For stubborn stains use a non-abrasive cleaner. Dishwasher-safe, though water spots may occur if dried at high temperature; it is recommended to remove items from the dishwasher before drying and dry with a soft towel. Do not place hot lids on very cold surfaces or in cold water to avoid breakage. Cooking and Serving Materials
