Before First Use

1

QUICK DIP

Hand wash all containers with warm, soapy water to remove any dirt or debris left over from the manufacturing and shipping process.

2

CLEAN AS A WHISTLE

Wipe dry with a soft, non-abrasive dish towel to avoid scratching.

3

FRIENDLY FIRE

Your ceramic-coated glass containers do not play well with open flames, so stick to the microwave or oven.

During Use

1

NO POINTY EDGES

Metal utensils may damage the non-stick coating, so stick to soft wooden, silicone, plastic, or nylon products.

2

GRACEFUL LANDING

Sliding across surfaces may damage the container's exterior coating. Always carefully lift and set down, and avoid dropping.

3

TOO HOT TO HANDLE

Always use a pot holder, oven mitt, or tea towel when removing your containers from a hot oven or microwave.

4

ALL FIRED UP

When removing from the oven or microwave, always set the hot container down onto a trivet, pot holder, or tea towel to prevent damage to your countertops.

5

TIME TO CHILL

Do not take containers directly from the freezer to a hot oven or microwave (this could cause your containers to crack—yikes!). Allow frozen food to thaw before reheating.

6

ALWAYS SAVE SPACE

When using in a freezer or refrigerator, allow space in the containers for liquids or food to expand.

7

COOL IT DOWN

Allow hot food contents to completely cool before sealing and storing.

Microwave & Oven Use

1

EASY HEATING

Follow your microwave’s instructions on heat settings and cooking time when defrosting, cooking, or reheating foods. Overheating for extended periods of time will damage your containers.

2

TOP IT OFF

Remove the lids whenever microwaving your food containers.

3

PARTY OF NONE

Do not microwave an empty container.

4

SKIP THE PLASTICS

Avoid using plastic wrap on or inside the container whenever microwaving. Plastic wrap can potentially heat, melt, and then adhere to the container walls.

5

PRE-OVEN PREP

Only the ceramic-coated glass containers can be used in the oven up to 450ºF, so be sure to remove all lids and inserts before they enter your oven.

6

READY FOR HEAT

Preheat your oven to your desired temperature before inserting your food containers. Avoid putting empty ceramic-coated glass containers into the oven without any food inside.

7

DISCOVER YOUR WINNING RECIPE

For your first few uses, closely monitor your heat setting to dial in on the perfect cooking temperature or oven time and adjust recipes as needed.

8

BAKED, NEVER BROILED

Not to be used under an oven’s broil setting.

After Use

1

TIME TO COOL DOWN

Let your containers cool completely if you use the microwave or oven before installing the lid or running cold water over its surface to avoid melting or thermal shock, which can lead to cracks.

2

CALL IN THE CLEANING COMMITTEE

Wash your containers in the dishwasher on a normal wash cycle for a thorough, deep clean in between uses.

3

SQUEAKY CLEAN

Whenever hand washing, clean your containers with warm warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge until they are spotless before storing. For tougher stains, try a wool sponge with strong detergent.

4

DRY IT OUT

Dry with a soft, non-abrasive dish towel or set containers in your storage racks to air dry completely.

5

MAKE IT THROUGH

When drying, remove the lids from each container so that air can dry the inside of your containers. Remember to remove the gasket on your container lids for a thorough dry.

6

LOAD IT UP

For storing, we recommend utilizing your storage racks to keep your containers in mint condition. If stacking, place a protective sheath between container surfaces to minimize direct contact.

Handwash Only

Media

Before First Use

1

QUICK DIP

Hand wash all knives & utensils with warm, soapy water to remove any dirt or debris left over from the manufacturing and shipping process.

2

SPICK & SPAN

Wipe the inside surface of the tray and bin with a damp cloth before setting them on your countertop.

3

CLEAN AS A WHISTLE

Dry all items with a soft, non-abrasive dish towel to avoid scratching after washing.

4

SKIP THE TREATMENT

Your Wood Utensils, Knife Block, and Utensil Bucket come pre-treated, so no need to oil or wax these items before or after use.

How To Care For Your Utensils

1

HAND WASH ONLY

Always hand wash your utensils immediately after use with warm soapy water. Ensure you wash both sides of the utensil to avoid uneven drying. Steer clear of submerging your utensils in water or dish soap so they do not warp.

2

STAND UP STRAIGHT

Warping & cracking can occur as wood contracts and expands. When drying, stand your utensils upright on your counter or wipe down with a dish towel to remove excess water prior to storing.

3

CALL IN THE CLEANING COMMITTEE

To disinfect, sprinkle the affected area with kosher salt, squeeze lemon juice over, and use the lemon to rub the mixture over the area. Allow the paste to dry, and gently wipe off. Alternatively, you can use a solution of 25% distilled white vinegar and 75% water. Do not use bleach or baking soda on your utensils as they may cause damage.

How To Care For Your Knives

1

CUT WITH CAUTION

Avoid surfaces that can dull or damage your knives such as fine china, marble, granite, tile, porcelain, stainless-steel countertops, and glass. We recommend using wooden or quality plastic cutting boards for the ideal stable surface.

2

HAND WASH RECOMMENDED

All you need is a gentle scrub to keep your knives in optimal condition. Avoid dishwashing or submerging in water as it can affect the longevity of your knives.

3

SO LONG, PATINA

To minimize patina when cutting highly acidic foods, occasionally rinse the blade clean in between chops.

4

SHINING STAR

Over time, stainless steel knives lose their shine. To restore, rub white vinegar, lemon juice, or a food-safe stainless steel cleaner over the blade with a dishcloth.

5

STAY SHARP

For blade maintenance, regularly sharpen your knives before use and store them in the provided Knife Block. Keeping knives loose in a drawer or dishwashing will dull the blades and risk accidentally getting cut.

6

ON THE FLIPSIDE

Scraping food off a cutting board with your blade will dull it over time. Instead, flip the knife around and use the topside when scraping.

More questions about the Prep Set?
Are the knives safe?

Of course! Do remember that these knives are sharp. Use caution when taking them in and out of the knife block and follow the curvature of the internal bumper.

Can the storage pieces be disassembled for cleaning?

All storage pieces are modular and can easily be removed and put back together.

Do the knives need to be sharpened on a regular basis?

We recommend using a honing rod every 5 uses, and a knife sharpener 1-2 times per year. With that in mind, remember that a sharp & precise knife is always safer than a dull one.
