Demarle Difference^®Knives 

How to use your knives: 

• Always cut your bread with our Demarle Difference^® bread knife, which easily slices the bread without flattening it while cutting. 
• Use the Demarle Difference^® Santoku knife to slice vegetables evenly, even paper thin. 
  Avoid dulling the knife blade unnecessarily. Always cut straight down using the center of the Santoku knife blade, without dragging the blade along the cutting board after the cut is complete. Do not use the sharp edge to push foods aside or gather them up. Turn the knife blade over and use the non-cutting edge instead. 
• Be sure to sharpen your Demarle Difference^® knives often to get the best performance. Demarle at home will sharpen your knives for free once a year.

How to take care of your knives: 

• Always store Demarle Difference^® knives in their sheaths or on a magnetic bar.
• Be sure to sharpen your knives regularly. Demarle at home will sharpen your knives for free once a year.
• Clear Demarle Difference^® knives of all liquid, wiping and drying immediately after use.
• Do not place Demarle Difference^® knives in dishwasher to keep blades at their best.

Demarle Difference^® Stainless Steel Cookware

Before using the first time, wash your cookware thoroughly in hot, soapy water to which you have added 1/4 cup of vinegar. This will remove any manufacturing oils or polishing compounds. Rinse with clear, hot water and dry immediately.

For lasting beauty, it is recommended that you use Demarle^® kitchen tools with your cookware.

Clean cookware after each use. Always allow unit to cool completely. Food films left on the cooking surface will cause the utensil to discolor when reheated.

• Handwash: Use hot soapy water with a sponge, dishcloth, nylon net or plastic pad. Rinse thoroughly with clear hot water and dry immediately to maintain the high luster of the cookware.
• Dishwasher: Cookware should not touch other objects/dishes in the dishwasher to prevent scratching of the high luster finish. Use a chlorine-free detergent with a rinse agent to help prevent spotting.
• Avoid using a scouring pad or harsh scouring powder, or a cleanser that contains chlorine bleach when cleaning your cookware. These items can ruin the stainless steel luster. Recommended cleansers include Barkeepers Friend^®, Bon Ami^®, and Cameo^® Aluminum and Stainless Steel Cleaner.

Do not clean your cookware in a self-cleaning oven.

Avoid cutting or chopping foods with knives or other sharp-edged tools which could scratch the stainless steel surface.

Avoid storing foods in the cookware for long periods of time as this may result in white spots appearing in your cookware. This is referred to as pitting. Pitting will not affect cooking performance.

Avoid high heat or prolonged preheating as this may result in heat stains appearing on your cookware.
