To clean the Cuisinart CSS-11BU skillet, allow it to cool down completely, then wash it with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or metal scrubbers, as they can damage the non-stick surface.
It is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils with the Cuisinart CSS-11BU to protect the non-stick coating from scratches.
If the non-stick coating begins to degrade, discontinue use and contact Cuisinart customer service for guidance. Regularly using oil or butter can help maintain the coating.
Uneven heating can be due to improper placement on the burner. Ensure the skillet is centered over the heat source and that the bottom is clean and flat.
Preheat the skillet before adding any food and use a small amount of oil or butter. Avoid cooking at excessively high temperatures to maintain the non-stick surface.
The Cuisinart CSS-11BU is not recommended for dishwashers. Hand washing is advised to preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating.
Store the skillet in a dry, cool place. If stacking with other cookware, place a protective layer, such as a paper towel, between the skillet and other items to avoid scratching.
The Cuisinart CSS-11BU is not suitable for induction cooktops as it requires a magnetic base to function with induction technology.
If the handles of your Cuisinart CSS-11BU become loose, carefully tighten them using a screwdriver. Do not over-tighten, as this can strip the screws or damage the handle.
To ensure the longevity of the non-stick coating, avoid using high heat, metal utensils, and abrasive cleaners. Regularly season the skillet with a small amount of oil.
