Remove any labels from the product and wash in warm soapy water before use. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Hard anodised products will benefit from seasoning. To do this, put a generous layer of inexpensive cooking oil in the base of the tray or dish. Place in a hot oven (approx 200°C) for about 10 – 15 minutes and then allow to cool.
Remove from the oven and dispose of the oil carefully. The bakeware should then be hand washed in warm soapy water, rinsed and dried. Never put hard anodised products into a dishwasher as the caustic nature of the detergent will damage the baking pan. Hand wash only. If stubborn stains persist, simply soak in warm soapy water and use a nylon scourer to remove any residue. Avoid the use of any caustic cleaning solutions. Metal utensils can be used. Never plunge a hot pan into cold water as extremes of temperature can cause distortion, and always use oven gloves to remove pans from the oven. Acidic foodstuffs may mark the product if it is left in the pan for any length of time.
Ensure that your bakeware is clean and dry before storing. Oven safe to 240°C/475°F/Gas Mark 9. Suitable for use from oven to hob.
