Following Proper Pre-Use Instructions
Wash Before First Use
Wash the new cookware in warm, soapy water before the initial use. This removes any residue from manufacturing.
Season Cast Iron
Season cast iron pans by coating them with a thin layer of oil and heating them in the oven per instructions. This prevents rust and creates a natural, non-stick surface.
Use Recommended Utensils
Avoid metal utensils that can damage ceramic or other coatings. Use silicone, wood, or other recommended utensils.
Don’t Overheat
Avoid overheating empty cookware. Start on medium heat and allow cookware to heat up gradually.
Following our pre-use steps, prepare Deane and White cookware for optimal performance.

Use Non-Abrasive Tools
Clean cookware using soft sponges, cloths, or brushes. Avoid abrasive scouring pads or steel wool that can damage finishes.
Handwash or Use Low Heat Cycles
Handwashing is recommended for most Deane and White cookware. If dishwasher safe, use low heat cycles to preserve coatings.
Address Stubborn Residue
Soak cookware with baked-on residue in warm water and dish soap before scrubbing. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Dry Thoroughly
Always dry cookware fully after washing. Let air dry rather than towel dry to prevent spotting.

Storing Cookware Correctly
