Ceramic cookware offers a healthier and more convenient way to cook everyday meals. With its naturally slick surface and PFAS- and PFOA-free ceramic coating, Frigidaire® Ceramic Cookware is designed to deliver excellent cooking performance while making cleanup easier.
With proper care, your cookware can provide years of dependable use. Follow these simple tips to help maintain the beauty and performance of your cookware.
Before First Use
- Before using your cookware for the first time:
- Wash all cookware pieces with warm water and mild dish soap.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Attach and remove the detachable handles a few times to become familiar with the locking mechanism.
- Make sure handles are securely locked before lifting cookware.
Cook with Low to Medium Heat
Ceramic cookware performs best over low to medium heat.
Because the aluminum body provides excellent heat distribution, high heat is rarely necessary. Cooking at lower temperatures helps:
- Preserve the ceramic coating.
- Reduce the chance of food sticking.
- Extend the life of your cookware.
- Deliver more even cooking results.
High heat may shorten the life of any nonstick surface.
Use the Right Utensils
For best results, use:
- Silicone utensils
- Wooden utensils
- Nylon utensils
Avoid using metal utensils, knives, forks, or sharp tools that may scratch the cooking surface.
Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes
Allow cookware to cool before washing.
Placing a hot pan under cold water can cause thermal shock and may affect performance over time.
For best results:
- Let cookware cool naturally.
- Wash only after it has reached room temperature.
Dishwasher Safe, Hand Washing Preferred
Frigidaire Ceramic Cookware is dishwasher safe for added convenience.
For maximum longevity, hand washing is recommended.
Using warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge will help keep the ceramic coating looking and performing its best for years to come.
Avoid:
- Steel wool
- Abrasive cleaners
- Harsh scouring pads
Prevent Overheating
Never heat empty cookware for extended periods.
Always add food, oil, butter, or liquid before cooking. Excessive overheating may reduce the nonstick performance and discolor the cookware.
Caring for the Detachable Handles
Frigidaire Ceramic Cookware features removable handles that allow you to go from stovetop to table to refrigerator with ease while saving valuable cabinet space.
To maintain the handles:
- Ensure they are fully locked before lifting cookware.
- Keep the locking mechanism clean and free from food residue.
- Allow handles to cool before handling after cooking.
- Do not place detachable handles in the oven.
- Do not expose handles to direct flame.
Replacement handles are available through the Frigidaire Cookware website.
Use the Included Helper Handle for Larger Pans
Many Frigidaire cookware sets include a convenient helper handle designed to provide additional support when lifting larger or heavier cookware.
The helper handle:
- Improves balance and control.
- Makes transferring cookware safer.
- Helps when carrying family-sized meals from the stovetop to the table.
Always use the helper handle together with the main detachable handle when lifting heavy pans or cookware filled with food.
Make the Most of the Included Dual-Purpose Defrosting Tray and Aluminum Griddle
Selected Frigidaire Ceramic Cookware sets include a versatile dual-purpose accessory.
Defrosting Tray
The specially designed surface helps transfer room temperature energy efficiently to frozen foods, helping thaw meats and other ingredients naturally without electricity or chemicals.
Aluminum Griddle
Flip the tray over and use it as an aluminum griddle for:
- Pancakes
- Eggs
- Sandwiches
- Burgers
- Breakfast favorites
Like the cookware, low to medium heat is recommended for best performance and long-lasting use.
Proper Storage Helps Protect Your Cookware
One of the biggest advantages of Frigidaire Ceramic Cookware is its space-saving design.
The removable handles allow pots and pans to nest neatly, helping reduce clutter and maximize cabinet storage.
To help protect the ceramic surface:
- Stack cookware carefully.
- Place a pan protector, towel, or soft cloth between pieces.
- Remove detachable handles before storing.
This helps prevent scratches and keeps the cookware looking beautiful.
Oven Safety
Cookware bodies are oven safe and compatible with all cooktops, including induction.
- Glass lids are oven safe up to 350°F.
- Detachable handles are not oven safe and should always be removed before placing cookware in the oven.
Always use oven mitts when handling hot cookware.
