To clean your Cuisinart 55-11BK cookware, use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. For stubborn stains, soak the cookware in warm water prior to cleaning.
The Cuisinart 55-11BK series is not compatible with induction cooktops as it is made from aluminum which is not magnetic. Use it on gas, electric, or glass stovetops instead.
If food starts sticking, ensure the cookware is properly cleaned and not overheated. Use low to medium heat settings and add a small amount of oil or butter to the pan before cooking.
While the Cuisinart 55-11BK cookware is technically dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash it to preserve the non-stick coating and extend its lifespan.
To prevent warping, avoid exposing the pan to extreme temperature changes. Do not immerse a hot pan in cold water. Allow it to cool down naturally before cleaning.
Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils as they can damage the coating.
Periodically, you can restore the non-stick performance by seasoning the pan. Lightly coat the interior with vegetable oil and heat it on low for a few minutes before wiping it with a paper towel.
If the handle becomes loose, use a screwdriver to gently tighten the screws. If the problem persists, contact Cuisinart customer service for further assistance.
Yes, the Cuisinart 55-11BK cookware is oven safe up to 500°F. Make sure to use oven mitts as the handles will become hot.
If the non-stick coating begins to peel, discontinue use and contact Cuisinart for warranty information, as this may indicate a defect in the product.
