4 A closer look at como advanced TM como advanced TM pans are comprised of eight layers including three layers of the latest technologies in non-stick coatings.

6 como advanced Glass Lid 2 sizes available - 30cm suitable for 30cm Frypan - 36cm suitable for 36cm Wok and Steamer Please note: Measurements are approximate only. Length is distance between two furthest points. Use & Care Before cooking New pans should be washed in hot, soapy water, then rinsed and dried. There is no need to season the pans before use. Cooking Heat settings A lower heat setting than usual can be used as como advanced TM heats more efficiently than most other brands of cookware. The correct heat setting should be chosen for the cooking method being used: medium heat for frying, sautéing or stir frying, low heat for simmering or warming. When cooking with gas, the flame must not be allowed to extend beyond the stainless steel base of the pan. Pre-heating The pan should be heated to the desired cooking temperature before adding the food. This will ensure the food cooks as expected from the moment it hits the pan. Due to the heavy gauge alloy base, the pan heats quickly and evenly.the pan should not be overheated to hasten the heating process. Overheating the pan will cause the non-stick coating to deteriorate and turn brown or bubble. Overheating voids the warranty. Oven cooking como advanced TM is oven-safe to 250 C. Unique lid como advanced TM s heavy gauge design retains considerable heat, allowing the pan to function as a stove-top oven. The inside of the lid has a non-stick coating to keep it looking like new. A twist of the lid (on certain models) allows the pouring spout to act as a steam vent. Utensils While the 3-coat non-stick surface of como advanced TM is resistant to scratching, it is best to use silicone, nylon or wooden tools. Oils As much or as little oil as desired can be used in the pans. That s the beauty of non-stick. Many dishes may be cooked with minimal fats for a healthier meal. However, oil or butter can be added for a crisp texture, golden colour and more flavour. TIP: Aerosol sprays should not be used directly on the pan as they leave a gummy residue that is very difficult to remove. For a lighter coating, the food can be sprayed before adding to the pan, a small amount of oil can be wiped over the surface of the pan or pure oil in a pumpaction spray container may be used. Safety High heat, long cooking times, and oven cooking may cause pan handles to become very hot. Care should be taken and protective mitts should be worn when removing and carrying hot pans from the stovetop and oven. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 5

7 Cleaning To extend the effectiveness of the non-stick surface, the pan must be cleaned thoroughly after every use. Any build-up of oil or food left in the non-stick surface will impede the nonstick feature of your pan. It is recommended that: the pan is washed while it is still hot, and the pan is washed with a micro-fibre cloth. Where needed, a non-abrasive cloth can be used on the non-stick surface. To clean difficult to remove food, soak the pan in a mixture of warm water and bicarbonate of soda for 30 minutes, then wipe with a non-abrasive cloth, rinse and dry as normal. Dishwasher use como advanced TM has been treated to withstand occasional dishwasher use. However, we recommend hand cleaning to extend the life of the pan. The dishwasher-safe treatment will withstand up to 200 cycles in the dishwasher. After this number of cycles, the harsh alkaline agents in dishwasher detergents may begin to damage the hard-anodised surface. Storage Pots should not be nested inside each other without protective cloths as hard-anodised surfaces are twice as hard as stainless steel and may scratch the non-stick coating. Warranty como advanced TM pans carry a 10-year guarantee*. The Chefs Toolbox will repair or replace any item of cookware that is found to be defective in material or workmanship when put to normal household use and cared for according to instructions. This warranty is VOIDED by misuse due to: improper cleaning, use of metal utensils, overheating, and dishwasher use beyond 200 cycles, accident (including being dropped), alteration, fire, theft, or use in commercial establishments. If a customer has a warranty claim, please call The Chefs Toolbox on to arrange for the return of the defective product. We will replace the defective product, free of charge, with an identical product or a product of equivalent value. The como advanced TM glass lid has a 10 year guarantee*. The Chefs Toolbox will repair or replace any item that is found to be defective in material or workmanship when put to normal household use and cared for according to instructions. The glass lid is heat resistant up to 180 C. It may be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning. This warranty is VOIDED by misuse due to: improper cleaning; use of items at temperatures above recommended range; accident; alteration; fire; theft; or use in commercial establishments. *Customers must have the original receipt to prove their date of purchase FAQ What is different about como advanced TM? como advanced TM can be used on induction cook-tops; has an exterior coating to reduce staining and keep the cookware looking like new; can be used in the dishwasher (for a limited number of cycles) and has a thicker base than most other pans. What does hard-anodising do? Hard-anodised surfaces resist abrasion and corrosion, and are extremely durable. Anodised materials have an extremely long life span. An anodised finish is chemically stable, does not decompose, and is non-toxic. A hard-anodised pan is the most durable pan available today. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 6

8 Can metal utensils be used in the pans? We do NOT recommend that customers use metal utensils. The use of metal utensils with your como advanced TM pan will void the warranty however, occasional use (i.e. once or twice throughout the lifetime of the pan) should not damage the hard-wearing anodised triple-layer coating. We recommend the use of silicone, nylon and wooden utensils at all times. Can como advanced TM be used on induction cooktops? Yes! como advanced TM is one of the few high-end cookware ranges available in Australia with this feature. (Excluding Chefs Grill and Griddle Pan). What is the purpose of the stainless steel base? Apart from giving the pan a modern and stylish look, the stainless steel base allows the pan to work on induction cook-tops. Note: the addition of stainless steel to the thicker como advanced TM base means that it may take slightly longer than expected for the pan to heat to the desired cooking temperature. The stainless steel base has developed rust spots. Can they be removed? The grade of stainless steel required for the base of the pans to be magnetic (and thus work on induction cook-tops) means that it may be subject to developing water or surface rust spots. These can be easily removed by rubbing with a light scourer. Can the glass lids go in the oven and dishwasher? Yes, the glass lid is oven-safe to 180 C. It is also dishwasher-safe. What is the Neptune non-stick material made of? Our non-stick coating is made from synthetic polymers, reinforced with ceramic particles. Doesn t non-stick peel off? Older technology did, but the 3-coat technology of como advanced TM is significantly more reinforced than previous technologies. Applying the coatings over a hard-anodised surface results in a bond that is 3 times stronger than if applied over pure aluminium or stainless steel. Should your non-stick coating peel, it is a valid warranty claim. Does anything stick to the pan? como advanced TM uses the latest in non-stick technology which allows for cooking with very little oil. Over time, however, certain high-protein foods (such as eggs) can catch, so we suggest adding a tablespoon of oil. This is much less than required in stainless steel pans and is no different from other high-quality non-stick pans available. Isn t the surface just like Teflon? No. Teflon is a brand owned by DuPont, the second-largest manufacturer of non-stick surfaces in the world. We have developed como s Neptune coating in conjunction with our supplier to incorporate the latest technologies in both durability and release. It is a 3-coat system, giving it greater ability to withstand both temperature variations and metal utensils. The quality of the non-stick finish is dependant not only on the finish itself, but also what it is coated onto. In the case of como advanced TM, the pan is much thicker than most, giving very even heat distribution. As well as improving the cooking, it reduces variance in the heat on the coating and reducing the chance of splitting. The internal surface is hard-anodised. The bonding of non-stick to hard-anodised surfaces is 3 times stronger than the bonding to pure aluminium (hence Bessemer s 5year guarantee vs. como s 10-year). Where is the cookware made? Como advanced TM is manufactured to our design in China. Our supplier is the largest cookware supplier in China, with sales to final customers of approximately $1 billion. Their processes are internationally certified for both quality and environmental standards. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 7

The Chefs Grill should be placed over two burners, front and rear, also on a maximum of medium heat. The Chefs Grill and Square Griddle are not suitable for use on induction cooktops. Both pans can be used in a conventional oven or on the BBQ and are safe to 250 C. Note: Be aware that some BBQ units, particularly wood-fired, can reach very high temperatures which may exceed the recommended maximum temperature for the Chefs Grill and Square Griddle. Safety The handles of the Chefs Grill & Square Griddle will become very HOT, so care must be taken. Use protective gloves or a thick cloth when lifting the Grill and Griddle. NEVER use a wet cloth to pick up a hot pan. Cleaning The Chefs Grill and Square Griddle are dishwasher-safe for up to 200 cycles. However, to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, we recommend hand washing the Chefs Grill and Griddle while still hot with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 8

10 Warranty The Chefs Grill and Square Griddle Pan are subject to the standard como advanced TM product warranty. FAQ Why can t the Chefs Grill and Square Griddle be used on induction stovetops? The Chefs Grill and Square Griddle are not suitable for induction cooking because they do not have a stainless steel magnetic base due to the rippled design of the pan. The Grill and Griddle feature ridged cooking surfaces and each have a channel running around the entire perimeter to catch fat released from the food during cooking. This makes for much healthier cooking. Can the Chefs Grill and Griddle be used on the BBQ, in the oven or under a grill? The Chefs Grill and Square Griddle can be placed on the BBQ, in a conventional oven and under a conventional griller where the temperature does not exceed 250 C. Please be aware however, that the base of the Grill or Griddle may become marked due to intense heat. Note that some BBQ units may reach temperatures that exceed the recommended maximum temperature for the Chefs Grill and Square Griddle. Can I put the Chefs Grill and Square Griddle in the dishwasher? If your dishwasher is large enough, your Chefs Grill and Square Griddle will withstand up to 200 cycles. However, we recommend hand washing in warm, soapy water with a nonabrasive cloth to extend the life of the pans. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 9

13 Gingerbread House A simple way to create the ultimate Gingerbread House this Christmas or Children s birthday cake. Comes with 2 silicone sheets, piping bag with nozzle and an easy to follow recipe with assembly instructions. (U.S. Patent No. D582,200) Please note: Measurements are approximate only Use & Care Before cooking Silicone Bakeware should be washed in warm, soapy water before first use. Use Oils Silicone Bakeware does not need to be greased, sprayed or floured for most everyday cooking requirements. There are times when cooking spray or flouring may be required to ensure a perfect result: the first few times you use your Silicone Bakeware, so that you can familiarise yourself with the product and how to turn out or pop up cakes and muffins: when making soufflés or any other egg dish (protein sticks to everything) when making moist cakes like banana cakes and carrot cakes when you need to remove a cake from the Silicone Bakeware while it is still warm (this is what commercial bakeries do) when making cakes that use very fine flour or are very airy and thus easily broken (e.g. sponge cakes and packaged cake/muffin mixes) Anytime you want to ensure a perfect form from a larger/more complex Silicone Bakeware shape (e.g. making a Kugelhopf cake for a special occasion). Oven cooking Silicone Bakeware is oven-safe to 230 C. It can be used in the microwave and in conventional gas or electric ovens. Freezer Silicone Bakeware is freezer-safe to -40 C. Releasing food from Silicone Bakeware To achieve the best baking result with Silicone Bakeware, allow your baking cool completely before turning it out. As the pan is flexible, the food needs to have stabilised before removal. Pull each side away from the food product. Bend down the sides, or invert and push on the base of the pan. Do NOT use a knife to remove or cut portions in the Silicone Bakeware pan, as this will damage the silicone. The more you use your Silicone Bakeware, the better the non-stick properties become as the material becomes seasoned. Cleaning After everyday use, your Silicone Bakeware can be washed in warm, soapy water or placed in the top shelf of the dishwasher. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 12

14 Storage When clean, squash into any spare space in your cupboard or tie with elastic bands. Warranty Silicone Bakeware is covered by a lifetime replacement guarantee (i.e. 25 years)* for defective workmanship. This does not cover normal wear and tear, nor abuse. Silicone Bakeware can only be used between -40 C and +230 C. Cutting on Silicone Bakeware will damage it. It cannot be used over a naked flame. Silicone Bakeware may discolour with use. This does not affect its performance. *Customers must have their original receipt to prove date of purchase. FAQ Is silicone safe? Yes. Since the 1960s silicone has replaced rubber in baby bottle teats, as it is inert/stable. The silicone in our products is made in Japan. It has been approved for food use in the US, Europe, Japan and Australia. Widespread use in Europe and the US provides clear anecdotal evidence of its safety. In addition, tests performed in accordance with US Food & Drug Administration guidelines show that emission levels in Silicone Bakeware are negligible. In the most common scenario they measure less than 0.1% of the required standard. There is no reason, anecdotal nor scientific, for safety concerns. The reason the Silicone Bakeware range is non-stick is it is completely inert. Does it ever stick? Occasionally, very moist foods may stick slightly. This is a function of physics as wet solids suction onto surfaces. This can be overcome by dusting a little flour or cocoa into the mould before pouring in the batter. Alternatively, place the cooled dish in the freezer for a few minutes. As the silicone takes on the ambient temperature very quickly, it causes mild iciness on the surface of the food, allowing for effortless removal. High protein foods, such as egg, can also stick slightly. Commercial kitchens do spray silicone bake ware with canola oil to ensure easy removal and perfect form. Even when hot, the food slips straight out. The other benefits of perfect form and easy cleaning are even more apparent if you grease lightly. Does spraying Silicone Bakeware damage the silicone? No. Both cooking spray and flouring enhance the non-stick qualities of Silicone Bakeware. Cooking spray results in the product having a more crusty edge. Does it stain? Burnt baked on foods, or the use of certain ingredients such as chocolate, dried fruits and eggs, can slightly discolour the silicone. This does not affect its performance. It has developed a slightly greasy finish from the food that doesn t seem to wash off. This does occur. It is simply the Silicone Bakeware being seasoned and is not unhealthy. It can be removed by placing in the dishwasher or boiling in a pot of plain water for 10 minutes. It will come out looking like new. Note, however, that you will be removing the natural seasoning, which improves its performance. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 13

15 What do all the symbols on the underside of the Silicone Bakeware mean? Do not use sharp implements. Dishwasher-safe. Do not place directly on an electric element. Do not use over a direct flame. Safe temperature range from -40 C to +230 C. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 14

Carving Set 2-piece Carving Knife and Fork Set suitable for carving all roast meats. Use & Care Use When cutting, do NOT use a sawing motion except when using a serrated knife. Rather, always push the knife away from you and down to the board. Let the sharpness and the stiffness of the blade do the work for you. Knives used on glass cutting boards or ceramic/marble bench tops will become blunt more quickly. A wooden or polyethylene cutting board is recommended. Do not allow your knife blade to come into contact with bones or other hard materials as this may damage the blade. Care & storage Do NOT place in the dishwasher. Due to the composition of the metal, all top knives suffer from the aggressive cleaning agents in a dishwasher. Make sure you dry your knives thoroughly after washing to prevent surface spots. Sharp knives should never be stored loose in a drawer. Always store your knives in a knife block, on a magnetic rack or in the protective sheath in a drawer. To clean Ct- edge knife block & glass; simply wipe with a clean damp cloth. Dry with a soft cotton cloth. Do not place any part of Knife Block in the dishwasher. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 18

20 Maintenance & sharpening To maintain your knives in top condition, simply wash and dry well after each use. For maximum performance and safety, sharpen your knives when needed. Do NOT sharpen serrated knives. Knives have a lifetime replacement guarantee (i.e. 25 years)* for defective workmanship. This does not cover normal wear and tear, nor abuse. They must not be put in the dishwasher as the corrosive detergent can pit the metal. The guarantee does not cover surface marks that occur if the knife is not washed and dried after use. The marks can simply be brushed off with a nylon scourer. NOTE: Care must be taken when placing the knives into the knife block especially on the red block to prevent chipping of the paint. The warranty does not cover scratches and marks, which have occurred after purchase. *Customers must have their original receipt to prove date of purchase. The knife block is covered by a 30-day Replacement guarantee for defective workmanship. This does not cover scratches and marks, which have occurred after purchase. FAQ What makes our knives different? The Chefs Toolbox Knives are forged (i.e. made from a single piece of stainless steel), which makes them stronger and more durable. They are hand-polished and honed, giving a supersharp edge that will hold for longer. They have polished, wax-coated handles, which won t stain or scratch. The range is a modern take on traditional German knives, which are generally regarded as the best in the world. They are very similar to the highest-quality knives available in Australia, but we are able to offer them at substantially lower prices than traditional outlets. What are the knives made from? All knives are made from high-carbon stainless steel. The number X50CrMoV15, which you ll see printed on each knife, indicates the best quality steel. This is a world-renowned European standard. This type of steel is a combination of a number of elements including carbon steel for resilience and ease of sharpening, and chromium to prevent corrosion. It is easier to care for than traditional steel, but holds its edge much better than soft stainless steel. The Chefs Toolbox Version 3 (October 2010) 19

Induction cooking is one of the safest, most efficient and accurate cooking methods available in domestic, commercial and portable kitchens today. It relies upon an electromagnetic current which produces conductive heat energy when passed under a ceramic cooktop surface. How does it work? When powered by any normal power supply, alternating electrical currents pass through a copper coil, generating an electromagnetic field. This field on its own does not produce heat energy however, by placing a conductive work surface atop the magnetic field, such as a pan on the ceramic surface of the induction cooktop, currents are generated within the magnetic field flow, producing a localised and extremely reliable source of constant heat. While the power supply remains uninterrupted, the induction cooktop continues to produce precise heat energy which remains at a consistent temperature and is clean, stable and environmentally friendly. What are the advantages of induction heating? Induction heat is produced almost instantly and because it is localised within a controlled area, in most cases a pot or pan, cooking times and heat wastage are greatly reduced. This greater efficiency means that less power is needed to produce the same results as other cooking methods, saving money and saving the environment. Is it environmentally sound? Induction cooking produces less smoke, radiant heat and environmental pollutants than most other heating processes. It does not rely on combustion heating methods or the use of microwaves and is a much cleaner and greener cooking solution. Using up to 80% less energy than other methods and converting up to 90% of its expendable energy into direct heat, induction heating really is the way of the future. Is induction cooking user friendly? Induction heating is the safest and most user friendly method of cooking available today. While heat production relies upon the conductive nature of the cooking surface and the copper coil s magnetic field, when the power supply or cooking surface (pot/ pan) is removed, the ceramic induction cooktop begins cooling immediately.
