Recommended Use and Care of your Personalized Items

 

Kitchen Shop items

We recommend that all kitchen products be washed by hand and towel dried.

Aluminum Pan Bottoms:

Doughmakers® and Grandma’s Touch® Pans are made of solid heavy-gauge aluminum.  The aluminum pan bottoms are best used for baking purposes only; i.e. cakes, brownies, squares and bars.  Aluminum is not suitable for highly acidic foods or food storage.  We do not recommend using the pans for water bath recipes, a technique the French call bain-marie, which refers to the method of placing a pan of food in another pan with water in it to stabilize the heat reaching the food such as custards and sauces.  Avoid using non-stick sprays since they can create a sticky buildup;  A solid shortening usually works best.  Wash the pans promptly by hand with warm, soapy water and dry completely with a soft towel before storing.  Care should be taken in the selection of utensils used for cutting and serving items from your pans, to avoid scratching the pan.  Our wooden utensils offered in the Kitchen Shop are a perfect match for your new pans.  

Aluminum Pan Lids:

Doughmakers and Grandma’s Touch  personalized lids are for decoration and display only.  Do not place the lid in a hot oven or wash them in a dish washer.  Wash the lid promptly by hand with hot, soapy water and dry completely with a soft towel before storing.

Wooden Kitchen Utensils: 

Do not wash the utensils in an automatic dishwasher.  This can case warping and cracking of the wood.  Utensils should only be placed in water long enough to clean them.  After washing your utensil for the first time, let it dry completely, then lightly sand with fine sandpaper or buff with a Scotch-Brite™ pad to remove any roughness.  Rub on mineral oil regularly to protect your utensil for generations of use.

Crystal Ornaments

All of our ornaments are made of fine quality optical crystal.  Care should be taken when removing dust and fingerprints to avoid scratches.  Treat the ornament as you would a camera lens or watch crystal.  Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleansers.

 

Marble Tiles

Marble is a very hard and durable material but it is porous and stains easily. Wipe off anything spilled on marble immediately, just as you would from a wood surface.  Occasionally wipe the marble surface with a sponge dampened with plain, lukewarm water and wipe dry with a clean cloth.  Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleansers since they can scratch the polished surface.  Some cleaning products can stain the etched area causing permanent discoloration.
