Care & Use
Cook Better. Care Better. Enjoy Vivaldi Longer.
Good cookware deserves good care.
At Vivaldi, we design our cookware for everyday cooking, but the way you use and maintain your cookware can make a real difference to its performance and appearance over time.
Whether you choose stainless steel, granite, non-stick or hybrid cookware, a few simple habits can help you get the most from your Vivaldi products.
Before Your First Use
Before using your new Vivaldi cookware for the first time:
- Remove all packaging and labels.
- Wash the cookware with warm water and a mild dishwashing detergent.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Check the product-specific instructions before its first use.
Starting with clean, properly prepared cookware helps you enjoy a better cooking experience from day one.
Stainless Steel Care
Vivaldi Stainless Steel cookware is made with 304 / 18-10 Cr-Ni stainless steel and a 3-layer capsule base, designed for efficient heat distribution and everyday durability.
Use the Right Heat
Choose a burner that matches the size of the cookware base whenever possible.
Start cooking at an appropriate temperature and reduce the heat once the cookware reaches the required temperature or after boiling.
Avoid leaving an empty stainless steel pot or pan on high heat for extended periods.
Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes
Allow the cookware to cool naturally before exposing it to very cold water.
Sudden temperature changes can affect the appearance and condition of the cookware.
Clean After Cooking
For everyday cleaning:
- Allow the cookware to cool.
- Wash with warm water and mild detergent.
- Use a soft sponge or suitable cleaning tool.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Dry completely after washing.
Avoid leaving stainless steel cookware submerged in water for long periods.
Keep the Finish Looking Its Best
Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaning products and hard metal brushes that may scratch the surface.
For marks or food residue, soaking the cookware briefly with warm water can help loosen the residue before cleaning.
Granite & Non-Stick Care
Granite and non-stick cookware are designed to make everyday cooking easier, with surfaces that support convenient food release and simpler cleaning.
To help maintain the cooking surface:
- Use moderate heat whenever possible.
- Avoid overheating an empty pan.
- Use suitable cooking utensils.
- Avoid sharp or abrasive tools that may damage the surface.
- Allow the cookware to cool before washing.
- Clean gently with a soft sponge and suitable detergent.
- Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
- Store carefully to help prevent scratches between cookware pieces.
Always follow the care instructions provided with your specific Vivaldi product.
Hybrid Cookware Care
Hybrid cookware combines different cooking technologies and surfaces to create a versatile cooking experience.
Because hybrid construction can vary between products, always check the specific product instructions before use.
As a general rule:
- Use appropriate heat levels.
- Avoid overheating.
- Use suitable utensils.
- Do not use sharp tools directly on sensitive cooking surfaces.
- Allow the cookware to cool before cleaning.
- Clean gently and dry thoroughly.
- Store carefully to protect the cooking surfaces.
Choosing the Right Heat
More heat does not always mean better cooking.
The right temperature depends on the recipe, the cookware and the type of food you are preparing.
For everyday cooking:
Start with controlled heat → allow the cookware to heat properly → adjust the temperature as needed.
Controlled cooking can help prevent unnecessary overheating while giving you better control over your food.
Cookware & Your Stovetop
For better cooking performance:
- Choose a cooking zone that is appropriate for the cookware size.
- Keep the cookware centered on the cooking zone.
- Avoid flames extending beyond the cookware base when using gas stoves.
- Do not drag cookware aggressively across delicate stovetop surfaces.
For induction or other specific stovetop types, always check that the individual product is compatible before use.
Oven & Handle Care
Some Vivaldi cookware may include Bakelite, plastic or other heat-sensitive components.
Always check the product-specific instructions before placing cookware in an oven.
Do not assume that every Vivaldi product or handle is oven-safe.
Storing Your Vivaldi Cookware
Proper storage helps keep your cookware looking and performing its best.
When stacking cookware:
- Make sure each piece is clean and completely dry.
- Avoid placing sharp objects directly against cooking surfaces.
- Use suitable separators when recommended.
- Store handles and lids carefully to avoid unnecessary pressure or impact.
