COOKWARE - Improper use of cookware can cause injuries to the user or those nearby. It is essential to use them only for their intended purpose. To ensure safe use, follow these simple but essential recommendations. Never overheat an empty pot; it could become damaged or dangerously hot, risking burns or fire. Always check that the handle is secure and does not overheat during cooking. If it does, use oven mitts. To avoid damaging the non-stick coating, use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils—never metal ones. When lifting the lid, beware of hot steam that may escape suddenly and cause burns. Never leave a pot unattended on the stove, especially when it contains liquids or foods that may spill and cause fires. Always place the pot on a flat, stable surface to avoid accidental tipping. When handling hot pots, always use pot holders or oven gloves to prevent burns. Avoid touching handles or surfaces with bare hands. After each use, clean the pot according to the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid abrasive sponges that can damage the coating. Never place a hot pot on cold or wet surfaces to prevent cracks or structural damage. Finally, regularly check the condition of your cookware—look for loose handles, cracks, or rust—and always follow the usage and maintenance instructions.
