Footnotes:
1 Maintain at least 2 in of clearance below a broiler. Place cookware on an oven rack, never on the oven floor.
Handles and lids become hot. Use dry heat protection, avoid escaping steam, do not leave cooking unattended, and protect surfaces beneath hot cookware. Stop using cookware if the interior enamel is chipped.
Lift rather than slide cookware across glass surfaces. Match the burner size to the base and keep flames beneath it. Use low-to-medium stovetop heat, heat and cool gradually, and avoid thermal shock. Do not microwave or expose cookware to uncontrolled heat such as open fires or outdoor grills. Avoid sharp metal implements and abrasive cleaners.
