WARNING • Should you have cookware with non-stick coating pet birds have sensitive respiratory systems. DO NOT keep them in or near the kitchen. Overheating an empty non-stick pan or use of a non-stick pan under a broiler can cause fumes that can be harmful or fatal to pet birds. Any smoke or fumes has the potential to harm pet birds. THESE FUMES ARE NOT HARMFUL TO HUMANS.
COOKING:
•Always use medium heat and lower after pan has come up to temperature. High heat is not recommended as it could cause damage to your cookware.
•Match burner size to pan size. ALWAYS use the burner that matches most closely with the diameter of your pan.
•DO NOT BOIL DRY. Boil dry can ruin your pan and non-stick coating.
•Aluminum is known for rapid heat and even distribution.
•Utensils: Wooden, silicone and plastic-coated utensils can be used in your cookware. DO NOT use metal utensils or cut in your cookware. Minor marring will occur on the non-stick surface with use, this is normal and will not affect the non-stick coating. DO NOT use sharp edges in your non-stick cookware such as forks, knives or metal utensils.
•Oven use up to 300˚F. DO NOT USE UNDER THE BROILER.
•NEVER add cold water to a hot pan. This can warp your cookware.
•The handles were designed to allow for a cooler touch. However, it is always recommended that you use potholders when removing from stove top and ALWAYS when removing from oven.
•DO NOT use non-stick sprays on your cookware. These sprays have a low burning temperature and will leave a sticky residue on your non-stick coating.
•If, after time, you notice that your non-stick coating is not releasing as well as when you first purchased the pan, heat the pan on medium heat for 2 minutes.
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED. Remove from burner and rub vegetable oil on the non-stick coating with a towel. Allow pan to cool completely and then wipe any residual oil. Repeat this process as necessary to re-season your non-stick coating.

Q: “Is there a health hazard in using aluminum cookware and bakeware?”
A: "None whatsoever. Over the years medical experts and food authorities have repudiated this notion over and over. A Food and Drug Administration Consumer Memo reports in part: “…Aluminum occurs naturally in many foods. Aluminum compounds have a number of uses as direct food ingredients, as for example in alum baking powder and in the use of alum in pickles to keep them firm. These uses are generally recognized as safe by scientists qualified to evaluate the safety of food additives.… Many scientific studies have determined that the amount of aluminum ingested as a result of preparing foods in aluminum cookware is so small as to be of no significance in comparison with the amount of aluminum consumed from other sources.” Cookware Manufacturers Association
