We selected these because they are what Turkish families actually use, not what looks good in a catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-wash preferred for all pieces — extends the life of nonstick coatings and polished finishes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor stainless steel: if food sticks, soak in warm soapy water for 10 minutes before scrubbing.

Aluminum and granite-coated pieces are generally not. Check the product specifications — induction compatibility is listed under specifications for each item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the nonstick coating safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGranite-coated and PFOA-free nonstick cookware in this collection meets current food safety standards. The coating does not contain PFOA or heavy metals. Avoid overheating empty nonstick pans and replace if the coating chips or peels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put these in the dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStainless steel pieces can generally go in the dishwasher, but hand-washing is recommended to preserve the finish. Nonstick and granite-coated pieces should always be hand-washed — dishwasher detergents degrade coatings over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Korkmaz different from other cookware brands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKorkmaz is a Turkish manufacturer with decades of production for the domestic Turkish market — a market that demands heavy daily use, large family cooking, and long product life. The quality standard is calibrated for that use case, which maps directly onto diaspora household cooking needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the cookware oven safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStainless steel pieces without plastic or silicone handles are oven safe. Pieces with plastic handles or non-metal lids should not go in the oven above 350°F.
