<br><p><b>Care Instructions: </b> <br>● Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware’s original appearance. <br>● If necessary, use nylon pads or scrapers to remove food residue; metal pads or utensils will scratch or chip porcelain. <br>● Remove slight stains by rubbing with dampened cloth and baking soda. For persistent stains, soak interior of the cookware for 2 to 3 hours with a mixture of 3 tablespoons of household bleach per quart of water. <br>● To remove stubborn baked on food, bring to a boil 2 cups of water and 4 tablespoons of baking soda. Boil for a few minutes then use nylon or wood scraper to loosen food. <br>● Dry cookware thoroughly before storing.
