Knife Use & Care Sharpening Sharp knives are safer than dull ones because dull knives require more pressure for cutting, which can result in slipping. Sharpening knives with a sharpening steel can seem difficult at first, but its actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. - Hold sharpening steel point down on flat stable surface like table or cutting board
- Angle the knife blade so that it is approximately 15 degrees from the sharpening steel
- Pull the knife down & across the sharpening steel in a slight arc, pulling the knife handle toward you. Stroke the entire blade edge from base to tip.
- Repeat on the other side of the steel.
- Repeat steps 3 & 4 three to five times, alternating the right & left side of the cutting edge.
Knives should be sharpened after every couple uses for maximum performance. Use a scouring powder to clean & remove metal particles from your sharpening steel. After cleaning the steel, rinse it with water, dry it thoroughly & store it in a dry place. Cleaning For best results, hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth & dry immediately. Soaking wood-handled knives in water can remove the natural oils from the handles. Dishwashing may cause banging against other dishes that can nick the edges. Additionally, the heat & detergent may have a corrosive effect on the handles. Use a scouring powder to clean & remove metal particles from your sharpening steel. After cleaning the steel, rinse it with water, dry it thoroughly & store it in a dry place. Storing Sharp knives should never be stored loose in a drawer because contact with hard objects can dull the blade & reaching into a knife drawer can be very dangerous. We recommend storing your knives in a hardwood block for safety & convenience. Many Chicago Cutlery® sets include a hardwood block for storage. Empty Chicago Cutlery hardwood blocks are also available at many retailers. Knife Safety - Keep knives sharp at all times
- Use the correct size & type of knife for the job
- Cut away from the body when possible
- Use knives with a wooden or polyethylene cutting board
- After handling a knife, lay it down in a cleared area with the blade away from the body & safe distance from the edge of the cutting area
- Do not reach blindly for a knife; reach deliberately for the handle
- Never try to catch a falling knife
- Do not use a knife to stab, pull, or lift materials
- Knives should not be used as can openers, screw drivers, or ice picks nor are they intended for prying apart frozen food
Types Of Knives & Uses Paring - Peels, pares, trims and cores small fruits and vegetables Also great for small tasks requiring close control like garnishing. Peeler - Easily peels skin and rinds off fruits and vegetables Utility - Carves small meats and peels and slice fruits and vegetables Chef - Chops, dices, slices and minces with the rocking motion of the blade Bread - Scalloped blade slices neatly through breads and cakes without tearing or squashing Steak - Slices cleanly through chops and steaks Carving Fork - Carves and slices cleanly through larger pieces of meat Carving / Slicing Knife - Carves and slices cleanly through larger pieces of meat Sharpener - Stainless Steel rod hones blade of the knife to realign the edge for ultimate sharpness |

Kaiser Bakeware Product Guide Why is Kaiser Bakeware unique? - Kaiser offers the broadest product range in the bakeware industry; both classic and creative shapes.
- Known for bakeware innovations, Kaiser invented the springform pan, the "intelligent round cake pan" and is the world's largest manufacturer.
- Kaiser bakeware has been built to the highest standards of German craftsmanship for over 85 years.
- Kaiser bakeware is manufactured from steel base metal, which provides even and gentle heat distribution for even browning and baking.
-
La Forme Perfect Bakeware La Forme Perfect is Kaiser Bakeware's latest innovation - the same high quality, two-layer nonstick heavy-gauge steel construction found in the La Forme product line plus a silicone lined interior for a superior pan that combines the benefits of silicone bakeware with the rugged construction of the La Forme product line. La Forme Bakeware Each piece of La Forme bakeware is designed with the finest materials available to guarantee perfect performance. After extensive product research, Kaiser selected steel as the base material for the entire La Forme Collection. The steel base is coated with one of two nonstick surface systems, depending on the intended use of the piece. In an oven, where the temperature can fluctuate up to 50 degrees in a normal baking cycle, the ideal baking vessel should retain heat well enough to maintain an even temperature. Yet, it should not retain heat so well that a cake, bread or cookie will burn in the time required for complete baking. Kaiser chose heavy-gauge steel as the base material for the La Forme collection, because it conducts heat gently and evenly, and produces the perfect balance necessary for a golden brown crumb or outside of the cake, and a perfectly baked, moist interior. Cakes and breads baked in La Forme cook uniformly, and cookies baked on La Forme cookie sheets brown evenly and maintain their shape. La Forme's heavy-gauge steel eliminates warping in every piece of bakeware. Select La Forme pans are manufactured with the cut- and acid-resistant Magnum coating. This allows baked goods to be cut in the pan. La Forme Features - Magnum cut-resistant or nonstick interiors mean ease of use and easy cleanup.
- Heavy-gauge steel provides even and gentle heat distribution.
- The leakproof bottom eliminates messy spills.
- Superior springform buckle provides the perfect release of baked goods, and is guaranteed for life.
La Forme Use and Care All Kaiser Bakeware pans are safe up to 450 degrees F in the oven. For best results, brush a very thin layer of butter or oil on the interior of the pan prior to each use. The butter guarantees perfect release and helps promote a smooth, tightly sealed crust, even browning and good flavor. It isn't necessary to line the pan with expensive parchment paper, or to dust the pan with flour, which can produce an unattractive white crust on cakes and breads. The La Forme pieces coated with the 2-layer Nonstick Surface System are designed to provide perfect release for baked goods that will be removed from the pan. Use of knives or sharp objects should be avoided, as they will damage the surface. However, pieces coated with Magnum are designed to withstand cutting. Any utensils, including sharp knives, can be used in the pan without damaging the surface. Clean La Forme bakeware with hot water, soap and a soft sponge or dishcloth. Avoid using abrasive cleansers. It is neither necessary nor recommended to put La Forme in the dishwasher. Noblesse Bakeware Each piece of Noblesse bakeware is designed with the finest materials available to guarantee perfect performance. After extensive research, Kaiser selected a steel base coated with two layers of nonstick coating for the Noblesse line. The exterior is painted black to absorb heat, providing even browning and shorter cooking times. In the oven, where the temperature can fluctuate up to 50 degrees in a normal baking cycle, the ideal baking vessel should retain heat well enough to maintain an even temperature. Yet, it should not retain heat so well that burning occurs in the time required to completely bake a cake, bread or cookie. Steel was selected as the base material for the Noblesse line because it conducts heat gently and evenly, to produces the perfect balance between browning and cooking. Cakes and breads baked in Noblesse bakeware cook uniformly with evenly browned crusts, and cookies baked on Noblesse cookie sheets brown evenly and maintain their shape. The steel used in Noblesse eliminates warping in every piece of bakeware, and the superior nonstick coating helps baked goods turn out easily for beautiful presentation and simple cleanup. Noblesse Features - 2-layer nonstick interior for perfect release and easy cleanup.
- Heavy-gauge steel provides even and gentle heat distribution.
- The leakproof bottom eliminates messy spills.
- The black exterior absorbs heat and provides better browning and shorter cooking times.
- Superior springform buckle provides the perfect release of baked goods, and is guaranteed for life.
Noblesse Use and Care All Kaiser Bakeware pans are safe up to 450 degrees F in the oven. Prior to its first use, wash the pan with soap and water. It is recommended that you wash it by hand. It is very easy to clean. Brush a very thin layer of butter on the interior surface of the pan prior to each use. This guarantees a perfect release and promotes even browning, good flavor and a smooth, tightly sealed crust. There is no need to dust the pan with flour, which can create an unattractive white crust on cakes and breads. The pan's heavy-gauge steel and dark color ensure that baked goods brown evenly and generally finish baking in about 10% less time than listed on your recipe. Extraordinaire Bakeware Kaiser manufactures ExtraordinAire bakeware by sandwiching a pocket of air between two layers of commercial-weight steel. The patented "X" design imprinted on the bottom of ExtraordinAire cookie sheets and jelly roll pans eliminates warping. Kaiser applies two layers of nonstick coating to the interior and exterior of ExtraordinAire products, so foods remove easily for beautiful presentation and easy cleanup. Extraordinaire Features - 2-layer nonstick interior and exterior for perfect release and easy cleanup.
- Commercial-weight steel provides even and gentle heat distribution.
- The midnight black exterior absorbs heat and provides better browning and shorter cooking times.
- Patented "X" design guarantees the pan will never warp.
Extraordinaire Use and Care All Kaiser Bakeware pans are safe up to 450 degrees F in the oven. Apply a thin layer of butter to ExtraordinAire before each use to facilitate the release of baked goods. There is no need to dust the pan with flour. Do not use metal utensils or cut in the pans, as it will damage the nonstick coating. Wash with hot, soapy water and a soft dishcloth. ExtraordinAire is dishwasher-safe. The nonstick coating makes cleanup so easy that hand-washing is recommended. However, do not submerge in water to avoid water being trapped inside the pan's layers.

For flatware, use a 3-piece place setting: dinner fork, dinner knife and teaspoon. The napkin should be placed to the left of the fork.Finish the setting with either a juice or Iced Beverage glass. Dinner or Supper: The dinnerware placement is similar to what's used for a breakfast/lunch setting. Salad plate can be brought to the table as needed. For flatware, use a 5-piece place setting; salad fork, dinner fork, dinner knife, soupspoon and teaspoon. The napkin should be placed to the left of the forks.The table should be set with both a wine glass and a water or iced beverage glass. The coffee cup & saucer can be brought at the end of the meal if needed. Formal Dinner (including a soup course): Set the table with a bread & butter plate, a service/base plate and dinner plate. If your pattern doesn't offer a service plate, try getting a bit creative by using a 12" metal tray or glass underliner. For flatware, use dinner fork, salad fork (served after an entree), dinner knife and soup spoon. The butter spreader may be placed on the butter plate. The teaspoon may be placed on the saucer with a coffee cup later. The dessert spoon and dessert fork may be placed above the dinner plate. To add some flair to your table setting, fold your napkins and place them in the center of the dinner plate or in one of the wineglasses. Add the glasses for red wine, white wine and water, as well as a champagne flute if necessary. Table Setting Tips: - Keep all tableware approximately one inch from the edge of the table.
- Place all knives with the cutting edge toward the plate.
- Arrange all flatware in order of use, working from the outside toward the plate for each course served.
- If salad is served after entrée, place salad fork next to plate.
- Glass placement: from right to left, white wine, red wine, and water/iced beverage. Champagne may be placed behind red and white.

The combination McClelland/Reco was most rewarding and successful. In the late 1970's Reich became aware of Sandra Kuck, a gifted young mother, and was immediately taken by her talent and her deep routed artistic ability. Her portrayal of Victorian children was destined to become one of the brightest shining stars in the history of collectibles. Their long lasting relationship successfully steered through over 25 years of award winning success and they continue the strong relationship into the new millennium.

Romertopf History According to archaeological finds, clay pot cookery can be traced back thousands of years, when food in an earthenware pot was put in the glowing ashes of an open fire. What was important for the taste of the food was not the fire but the pot. The Romans, lovers of good wine and good food, used pots made of a special type of earthenware. Römertopf was conceived by Bay Keramik in 1966 and was introduced at the Hanover Fair in 1967. And Officially introduced at the Frankfurt Fair and consequent shows around the country in the spring of 1968 with an immediate great success. Reco obtained the exclusive representation from Bay Keramik in August 1974, has represented Römertopf in the United States throughout this period without any interruption, and was consequently granted the exclusive representation of North America, Central and South America. Healthy Cooking Everyone knows that a nutritious diet is essential to maintain good health but even the healthiest foods can loose nutritional value when preparation processes allow valuable nutrients to escape. The Romertopf clay pot is an "easy cooking method that seals nutrients in and also down on fats. Some of today's most popular cooking techniques can either deplete nutrients in food (as in the case of over-steamed vegetables) or add fat (as in the case of frying meat or fish). Cooking the Römertopf way avoids over-cooking while it eliminates the need for added fats. Soaking the Römertopf in water before it is placed inside the oven allows it to create and maintain moisture that cooks recipes to perfection, while preventing the nutrients from escaping. Meats can be trimmed of all fat and poultry can be cooked without skin and still come out moist, tender, flavorful and browned with no need for basting. Meat, potatoes, rice and vegetables can all be cooked together to make nutritious and flavorful one-pot meals, or they can be prepared separately. Quick and Easy Römertopf cooking not only saves nutrients, but also saves time. Simply soak the Römertopf in water for 5-10 minutes, place ingredients inside and place the whole pot in a cold oven set at 400-450 degrees. Then just walk away. Workout with your favorite celebrity, play with the kids, or soak in the tub for the 45 minutes to an hour the Römertopf needs to cook your meal to perfection. Quality & Versitility Römertopf clay pots are available in a variety of sizes, from the Maxi, which holds a 17 lb. Turkey to a 2-4 capacity pot. They are unglazed to ensure perfect absorption, so that ample moisture is available in the cooking cavity. Today Römertopf clay pot cookware is manufactured in Mexico and meets the exacting, original German standards for quality, longevity and safety. The strictest of supervision ensures that Römertopf's natural terra cotta contains no lead or cadmium. The Römertopf is made of special porous clay and is unglazed inside and out allowing it to "breathe" during the cooking process. By soaking the pot in water before cooking, moisture is absorbed by the clay. The tiny water particles are released during cooking, penetrating and blending with the natural food juices, increasing flavor, and tenderness-enhancing aroma. The Römertopf Clay Baker is primarily designed to be used in regular ovens where it gives you the most delicious and exciting gourmet dishes you have ever dreamed of. Römertopf can also be used in a combination microwave oven with conventional heat. Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer for time and temperature. Römertopf by Reco uses engineered packaging in order to practically eliminate breakage. A major difference to other manufacturers. Reco has further enhanced the use of cooking with Römertopf Clay Bakers by constantly introducing new cookbooks like the "Consumer Guide Cook Book", followed by "The Complete Guide to Claypot Cooking" and "The Good Health Low Fat, Low Sodium, Clay Pot Cook Book." Römertopf can achieve tasty meals without the addition of salt and/or fats. |

History of CorningWare® The original CorningWare® bakeware which was first introduced in 1958, was made of a glass-ceramic material that could be used on the stove, in the oven and under the broiler. After World Kitchen acquired the brand in the late 1990s, CorningWare products were switched to ceramic stoneware production. Introduced later that year was the French White collection, which has been an all-time best seller among brides-to-be. The stoneware transition was made, in part, to ensure that the brand adapted to the evolving tastes of consumers who today put a premium on color and design. In addition, with the advent of the microwave, the thermal benefits of the original material diminished in importance for home cooks. The CorningWare stoneware collections can be used in conventional, convection and microwave ovens as well for storing food in the refrigerator and freezer. It washes easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Non-porous, stoneware wont absorb food odors and resists staining. And its non-reactive so acid-based foods can be prepped or baked in it. CorningWare bakeware, a perfect blend of style and function, is designed to be used for convenient same-dish baking and serving, whether for casual or formal dining. French White® Features and Benefits - Classic fluting compliments all table settings
- Durable, crack and chip resistant ceramic stoneware
- Non porous surface does not absorb food odors, flavors or stains
- Designed for use in oven, microwave, refrigerator and freezer
