General safety indications: Lagostina cookware must never be used in microwave ovens. These products are not recommended for deep frying (e.g., chips, samosas, etc.). Never let pot handles extend beyond the edges of the hob surface. Pay close attention when cooking around children, pets and other people. Never put hot spots on the floor or near the edge of counter tops. Let them cool and never leave them within arm's reach. Use the lid to prevent burns caused by splashing. Always be careful when cooking with oil: Never fill the pot more than halfway and do not cook over excessively high heat (refer to oil manufacturer's indications); avoid putting wet or watery foods into hot oil or boiling fat. It is recommended that you wear oven gloves when grabbing handles or knobs. In case of fire inside the pot, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a damp cloth. Wait 30 minutes before removing it. In case of overheating, the cookware should not be moved, but should be left to cool first due to the possibility that the aluminum in the base could melt. Never leave food cooking unattended. Before first user removes all packaging, labels and paper. Wash in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Do the same for Lagostina non-stick pans, then grease the non-stick coating with cooking oil and dry with kitchen paper. The wooden part of lids is covered with a mineral oil that ensures its protection and longevity. This might leave some residues on the packaging. Recommendations for use of Lagostina cookware check that the pot is suitable for use on your heat source (see packaging). Do not overheat an empty pot. Never let flames extend up the side of the pot. Make sure the pot is well centered over the heat source (to avoid handles from coming into contact with the heat or flame). Never heat fat or oil long enough to make it smoke, burn or turn black. Milk burns easily. Heat it over low to medium heat until bubbles form along the edges. To prevent overflow, do not fill the pot more than two thirds of the way full.
