IMPORTANT USE AND CARE INFORMATION While we request that you read this entire manual in order to get the best experience from your new cookware, here are some important things to know about ANYWARE. These ideas are explained in more detail below, but if you follow these simple suggestions you will have lots of fun cooking delicious dishes for friends, family, and for yourself! 1. Before use, wash ANYWARE with warm soapy water, and then season it by lightly rubbing cooking oil onto the nonstick surface over medium heat for 2 minutes. After it cools, wash it with mild detergent and warm water and rinse clean. You re ready to cook! 2. Do not cook with metal tools (or anything sharp or scratchy) we really recommend silicone tools! 3. ANYWARE heats quickly! Use the lowest heat setting possible for a given recipe to maintain the nonstick surface in good condition. 4. Do not overheat ANYWARE, and make sure that there is oil, water or food in the pan when heating - see below for maximum safe operating temperatures. 5. Use only non-abrasive cleaners and sponges to clean up, and never use steel wool or abrasive pads. Do not put ANYWARE cookware in the dishwasher. Wash by hand with warm soapy water.
6. When storing ANYWARE, a clean soft cloth placed on the cooking surface will help to protect the cooking surface. DID YOU JUST BUY THIS COOKWARE? It s been on a trip, and it wants to freshen up! Wash your cookware in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly before using for the first time. WHERE CAN I USE ANYWARE? ANYWARE nonstick ceramic cookware is safe for use on indoor gas and electric cooktops, in ovens, and over outdoor barbecue grills, camp stoves, and campfires! This cookware is not suitable for induction stovetops or for use under broilers. Please use caution in placing and moving ANYWARE on glass-top or ceramic electric cooktops in order not to scratch the cooktop surface. SAFE OPERATING TEMPERATURES ANYWARE is Stovetop, Oven, Grill and Campfire safe to a maximum continuous cooking temperature of 525 F (270 C). Prolonged temperatures above 525 F may reduce the nonstick effectiveness of your cookware, making it more difficult to clean. Start on LOW and work your way up to find the right cooking temperature. Over-heating can damage the ceramic surface and warp your cookware, and is not covered by the ANYWARE warranty.
CAUTION!!! Cast aluminum cookware gets VERY HOT! The handles will become as hot as your cooking temperature (or even hotter). ALWAYS use potholders or oven mitts to prevent burns when moving this cookware. PREPARING TO COOK To use ANYWARE, add oil or water to your pan, and before adding food preheat your cookware for about a minute using the heat setting you intend to use when cooking. Do not preheat on high! ANYWARE aluminum ceramic cookware heats quickly and evenly use the lowest possible setting for your intended cooking method. Here are our recommended heat settings: LOW: for warming and simmering foods. MEDIUM: for cooking foods like eggs, sandwiches, and pancakes and for reducing stocks and gravies. MEDIUM-HIGH: for frying, sautéing, searing meats and vegetables, and for stirfrying. HIGH: For boiling liquids only. Do not heat empty cookware on high!
READY TO COOK? LET S GO! If a small amount of cooking oil (or butter! Mmm, butter) bubbles when placed on the cookware surface, your cookware is ready to use! ANYWARE ceramic cast aluminum cookware has a non-stick surface, and we recommend using a small amount of butter or cooking oil every time you cook for great cooking results. Allow oil or butter to heat for a minute before adding ingredients. We do not recommend using aerosol sprays with ANYWARE - aerosol sprays build up on all cookware and become difficult to remove, and they reduce the nonstick coating s ability to release food. We recommend that you use a small amount of cooking oil or butter instead. Using a silicone spatula or paper towel to carefully wipe cooking oil or butter around the surface of the cookware is a good way to use the smallest amount of fat possible. WHAT CAN I STIR WITH (SAFE UTENSILS)? Use silicone, wooden or heat-rated plastic utensils with ANYWARE to protect the pan s nonstick finish. Do not use metal utensils, sharp instruments or appliances with ANYWARE. Such use will damage the finish and will void your Warranty.
ARE YOUR INGREDIENTS COLD? We recommend taking cold ingredients out of the refrigerator a few minutes before you are going to cook them. Cold foods + Hot cookware = Sticking. DINNER IS DONE NOW LET S CLEAN UP! Allow your ANYWARE cookware to cool, and then wash it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Never place hot cookware in cold liquid as this may cause warping, which voids your warranty. TO CLEAN: Cleaning ANYWARE is fun and easy (seriously)! In fact, it is so easy that we request that you hand-wash only please. Do not place ANYWARE cookware in an automatic dishwasher or use abrasive cleaning pads or cleansers this could damage the surface and will void the warranty. The interior ceramic nonstick surface of the pan should be cleaned with a mild, good quality liquid dishwashing detergent and a non-abrasive sponge. To clean a really tough cooking mess, soak your ANYWARE cookware in warm water with mild detergent until food debris is loosened, and then gently scrub with mild dishwashing detergent and a non-abrasive sponge.
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners or pads, oven cleaners or any caustic materials on this product. Do not use bleach or liquid household cleaners. These harsh cleansers may damage the surface and void your warranty. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can I use Little Griddle cast aluminum ceramic cookware under a broiler? ANYWARE cookware is oven-safe to 525 F (270 C), but it is not intended for broiler use. Broiler heat directly on the cooking surface can easily exceed the maximum allowable cooking temperature and reduce or eliminate ANYWARE nonstick effectiveness. Use of ANYWARE with a broiler will void the Warranty. Is my Little Griddle ceramic nonstick cookware induction-cooktop capable? At this time Little Griddle ceramic nonstick is not induction-cooktop capable. Is my Little Griddle cast aluminum cookware dishwasher-safe? Do not place Little Griddle cast aluminum cookware in the dishwasher. It will make the nonstick coating less effective and will void the warranty.
May I use aerosol cooking sprays for low-fat cooking on my Little Griddle cookware? Aerosol cooking sprays are not recommended for use on Little Griddle cookware. They contain chemical propellants that build up and are difficult to remove from cookware. If you do not wish to use a large amount of oil or butter when cooking, we recommend placing a bit of oil or butter on a paper towel and then carefully wiping the interior of the pan. Does your cookware contain PTFE? PTFE, or polytetrafluoroethylene, is a type of nonstick finish. Little Griddle does not use PTFE in our products. Does your cookware contain PFOA? PFOA is an acronym for perfluorooctanoic acid, a chemical that is used in making some types of non-stick cookware. Little Griddle does not utilize PFOA in our products. Why does Little Griddle recommend cooking on the lowest heat setting possible? ANYWARE heats very quickly, and very evenly! Cookware may warp due to heating it too quickly, and high temperatures can burn the outside of food before the inside is cooked. Allowing the cookware to heat gradually and bringing the
cookware up to a medium to medium-high temperature allows the pan to heat evenly throughout and helps prevent warping and burning. Once a pan is warped due to over-heating, it is not repairable and the Warranty will be voided.
