Characteristics
PRIMA cookware is made of high-grade stainless steel, of a solid manufacture and perfect finish meeting
the highest demands placed on healthy, comfortable and economic cooking.
The cookware is provided with an extra thick sandwich bottom. Heat is transferred from the cooker
into the vessels continuously without variation and evenly throughout the bottom. Cooking is easier,
without unwanted overcooking.
The sandwich bottom has excellent heat retaining properties, which economise on energy.The
cooker may be switched off before the end of cooking and the cooker remains efficient even if set
to a low output. Meals left in the vessels preserve their temperature for a long time.
The cookware is provided with ergonomic grips of resistant plastic that do not burn if used properly.
The solid glass / stainless steel cover enables a perfect control over the cooking process.
The coo king vessels have a scale for easy measuring out.
PRIMA cookware is made so as to meet the demands of intense and prolonged use. The outer and inner
shiny surfaces ensure an elegant appearance as well as easy and quick cleaning.
PRIMA cookware is suitable for all types of cooker - gas, electric, vitro-ceramic and induction cookers!
Deep pot / steamer - instructions for use
The deep pot / steamer is excellent for cooking and warming up all common meals in steam - fresh
and frozen vegetables, potatoes, dumplings including fruit dumplings, fish, as well as for warming up
pasta, etc.
Fill the deep pot / steamer with water up to one third to one half of its capacity. Make sure that
the water does not exceed the steamer part holes. Place the food into the steamer part, insert the steamer
part into the deep pot and cover it. With some meals, it is better to insert the steamer part into the deep
pot only after enough steam is generated - follow your own experience and recipes.
The deep pot with the cover can also be used independently without the steamer part as normal cookware.
Cooking in PRIMA cookware
Set the cooker to maximum only for the initial phase of cooking and allow only low or medium output
further during the cooking process.
Switch the heat off in advance before the end of cooking; make use of the heat retaining properties
of the sandwich bottom.
Make sure that the size of the cooking range does not exceed the diameter of the bottom of the
cookware and avoid the flame expanding over the bottom - if this happens, the grips could burn
or even suffer damage.
Never heat empty cookware!
WARNING!
When overheating empty vessels or vessels with little content on cookers over a long time, purple
or brown stains might appear on the metal surfaces. These stains do not affect the correct function, they
do not represent a health hazard or fault and cannot be claimed.
PRIMA cookware maintenance and care
Wash and wipe dry thoroughly before first use. To permanently preserve good appearance, always cook
in properly cleaned cookware!
Clean with normal detergents, never use aggressive substances, chemicals and sharp objects. PRIMA
cookware can be cleaned using special agents for stainless steel - we recommend CLINOX for excellent
cleaning results. PRIMA cookware is dishwasher safe.
Leave to soak excessively dirty cookware in water or water with detergent.
Should white stains appear on the inside surface, use vinegar, lemon drops or the special CLINOX stainless
steel cleansing agent to clean. The stains are caused by mineral sediments present in water and their
formation depends on the quality and hardness of local water. To prevent excessive formation of the
white stains, always add salt only after the water starts boiling. The white stains do not affect functioning
of the cookware and are not hazardous to health. As such they do not represent a fault and cannot
be claimed.
