EarthChef has found the perfect replacement for wood. Thanks to its rapid growth, bamboo is the top candidate as natural renewable resource. Choose from a variety of bamboo cutting boards, kitchen utensils, blocks, and more. End Grain: Made from the end of the bamboo, the hardest section. The highest quality bamboo cutting board available. It is perfect for heavy chopping and cutting. Vertical Grain: Made from the side grain of the bamboo, which is slightly softer than the end grain. Its primary use is for cutting and light chopping. Choose from a variety of bamboo cutting boards, kitchen utensils, blocks, and more. Induction Induction cooktops for faster, more efficient cooking. Induction is the third method of cookware; it is more efficient than electricity and faster than gas. It works off of reverse magnetism and has been used by chefs, hotel chains, and caterers globally for many years. It is also widely popular in households in Europe and Asia. To test if your pots and pans are induction ready, do a simple magnet test. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it is induction ready. Why induction cooking? You save energy three ways: Induction heats up your pots/pans super fast, resulting in less cooking time It uses less electricity than an electrical element, and is more efficient (less wasted heat and energy) The pan itself is the element or source of heat, resulting in less temperature EarthChef Cookware - Care and Maintenance Before your first-time use: After unpacking your cookware, make sure to remove all labels and then wash in warm, soapy water with a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth. EarthChef cookware is dishwasher-safe, on the economy cycle, but we recommend washing them by hand. This extra care is it uses less water and energy and protects your pans from the harsh heat and detergent of a dishwasher. Before heating your new EarthChef Nonstick cookware for the first time, you should lightly coat the inside of the pan's nonstick surface with a little vegetable oil on a paper towel or soft cloth. This will lightly season the pan's surface and enhance the nonstick properties of the all-natural ceramic coating. Cooking with your new EarthChef products Using oils, butter, or margarine to fry or saute foods in your new EarthChef Nonstick cookware is not necessary due to the all-natural nonstick ceramic coating. If you choose to cook with one of these products to enhance browning or flavor, you should follow these guidelines: Be sure that you always start with a clean pan. All oils smoke or burn at different temperatures. Be sure to test the oil that you are cooking with at a low to medium heat prior to adding your food to the pan. Add just enough oil to cover the bottom surface. Allow the oil to heat for one to two minutes over low to medium heat before adding food to the pan. The preheated oil will also help enhance the nonstick properties of the pan. Allow your food to come up to room temperature for about 10 minutes before adding it to the pan. Other helpful tips while using your EarthChef cookware Always try to match the size of the burner to the base of the cookware piece you are using. If you are using a gas cooktop, be sure to adjust the flame so that it does not flare up the sides of the pan. This will cause discoloration on the outside of the pan, possible damage to the handle, and possible personal injury from getting burned, as well as using more energy. You should use medium heat when preparing meals. You should only use high heat when the pot is full of liquid for boiling pasta, making stocks or deep-frying. While you can use metal utensils with your EarthChef nonstick cookware, they will cause some scratching of the surface and scratches are not covered in the warranty. We recommend using bamboo, silicone, nylon, or wood utensils to protect and extend the life of your pan. Never cut food while in the pan or gouge the pan as this will damage the surface and will not be covered in the warranty. Never allow a pan to boil dry. If you have remains of food stuck to the cookware, for example from blackening fish, they can easily be removed by covering the bottom of the pan with water and letting it soak off at a very low temperature. Burnt-on remains can be removed in a similar way, by letting the water boil in the pot or pan for just a few minutes and then working the burnt area with a wood spoon. Do NOT use a metal utensil as you can gouge the coating's finish. For your stainless-steel cookware, you can also use special detergents such as BergHOFF's Stainless Cleanser or BergHOFF's Magic for Stainless Steel. Care and Cleaning All BergHOFF products are designed to exceed your expectations; however their performance can be diminished if they are not properly cared for. Remember to cool your pans down before cleaning them as you can warp your pan by putting it into water directly from the heat source. Be sure to clean your pan thoroughly after each use, using warm, soapy water and sponge or a dishcloth. Then rinse in warm water and dry immediately to prevent water spotting with a soft cloth. Do NOT use steel wool or nylon scrubbing pads, oven cleaner or any cleaner that is abrasive, is a citrus based cleanser or contains chlorine bleach, especially on your stainless-steel pans as this will damage your pans finish. Do NOT gouge the nonstick coating. While your EarthChef pans are dishwasher-safe, be sure that you do NOT use a detergent on your stainless-steel pans that is based on citric acids (lemons) or contains chlorine bleach. These products can damage the anti-oxidation layer and can lead to corrosive reactions. Any signs of corrosion can easily be removed by using a good stainless-steel cleanser, like BergHOFF's Stainless Cleanser or Magic for Stainless Steel. Also, you should use the lowest heat setting as high drying temperatures can also cause damage to the anti-oxidation layer.
