Cooking with an All-Clad Cookware set is a little different than a lot of other cookware. Here are a few tips on using All-Clad Cookware.
Cooking With All-Clad Cookwarae
* Watch The Heat! Use low flame or setting for all cooking except boiling. Low temperatures using All Clad are comparable to medium to medium-high setting with other cookware brands.
* Prevent Sticking:Â A preheated pan and lower flames are the key to stick-free stainless steel cooking. Start by preheating the pan on low or medium heat for one to two minutes. Tap the upper edge of your pan to test the heat. (If it is too hot, remove from the burner for a couple of minutes.) Pour in enough cold oil to cover the bottom of the cooking surface. Add your food, making sure that there is an even sizzling sound when your food touches the pan. This indicates that your food is cooking on contact and creating a natural barrier to prevent sticking. Allow your food to cook without disturbing it
* Oven Proof: All types of All-Clad cookware collections are oven safe. However, nonstick items are not broiler safe, but can be put in the oven up to 500°F.
Cleaning All-Clad CookwareÂ
* Regular Cleaning of All-Clad Cookware: It depends on which type you buy. The stainless variety is completely dishwasher safe, and Copper-Core can be put in the dishwasher though that may cause some tarnishing of the copper band. To prevent that, remove the copper variety immediately after the wash cycle has completed and dry it.
Most of the other types of All-Clad Cookware must be hand washed. Be sure to check the directions that come with your cookware to see which type you have. And if you don’t want to wash them by hand, check before you buy to see you’ve gotten the type that can go in the dishwasher safely!
* Cleaning stuck-on food or stains: Bar Keeper’s Friend is a product recommended by All-Clad Cookware to help clean off stubborn food or stains. Put some on a soft cloth or sponge, add a little water to make a paste, then rub the pan with it to get rid of the food or stain.
Bar Keeper’s Friend can be used on both the inside and outside of all All-Clad Cookware, with the exception of Cop-R-Chef. It should only be used on the inside of that collection, and a brass/copper cleaner used on the outside copper.
With proper care, your All-Clad Cookware should give you a lifetime of good service in your healthy kitchen!
