Care and Use for all Vollrath Cookware Material Types

General care and use tips for all types of Vollrath cookware

• Before using for the first time, remove all label and wash in hot, soapy water to remove any manufacturing lubricants.
• Never leave cookware on heat source without food or liquid inside. Overheating in this manner may cause warping or delamination of metal layers and could void warranty. 
• For safety and to prevent warping, allow cookware to cool before cleaning or immersing in water. 
• Direct contact with salt can cause pitting. Add salt to boiling water to dissolve it. 
• Salt solutions, acidic products like tomatoes, disinfectants, and bleaches can corrode cookware. Never store these items in cookware, and avoid prolonged exposure.
• All cookware will last longer and look better if washed by hand with hot soapy water. Always scrub in the direction of the material grain. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air-dry completely.
• Use of plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils is recommended. 
• If label adhesive remains on cookware, wipe off with WD-40 and clean with warm, soapy water. 
• To remove white film caused by starch or water minerals, rub with sponge that has been dipped in lemon juice or vinegar; then wash with hot, soapy water.
• To remove food burnt to the bottom of cookware, boil a mild solution of vinegar and water for 10 minutes to dislodge food particles.
