How To Use Guide - Bronze
Using Bronze Cookware and Serveware for the First Time
Initial Cleaning
Before first use, gently wash your bronze cookware and serveware with mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water marks and maintain the natural finish.
Seasoning Your Bronze Utensils
To enhance performance and longevity, it is recommended to season your bronze cookware. Start by cleaning and drying the utensil completely. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil across the surface using a soft cloth, then place it on low heat for a few minutes to allow the oil to settle into the metal. Remove from heat and wipe away any excess oil. This process can be repeated periodically to maintain the surface and support smoother cooking over time.
Using Your Bronze Cookware
Bronze cookware is designed for versatile, everyday cooking including sautéing, stir frying, and boiling. Its natural heat conductivity allows for even cooking and better control over temperature. For best results, use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the surface and maintain its natural character.
Using Your Bronze Serveware
Bronze serveware is ideal for presenting and serving meals. Before serving warm dishes, lightly rinse with warm water to bring it to a comfortable temperature. Handle with care, as bronze can retain heat.
Cleaning After Use
After each use, wash with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh cleaning agents, as they may affect the finish. Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its appearance.
Storage and Maintenance
Store your bronze pieces in a dry place away from moisture. Applying a light layer of oil before storing can help maintain the surface over time. Occasional polishing with a soft cloth will help retain its natural warmth and finish.
