Note:
The ceramic coating can maintain short-term accidental heating to 450 ° C and
is completely safe. This means that if you accidentally (over) heat, no toxic
fumes will be released. Moreover, the surface is not damaged, it will not blister
or flake off.
Recommendations for energy saving
• cook on a burner that is approximately similar in base diameter to that of the pan
you have selected.
• when cooking on gas, adjust the flame so it does not flare up the sides of the pan.
• use low heat to warm foods, simmer or prepare delicate sauces.
• heat settings are very important. Lower heat settings are not only good for energy-
saving but also avoids the pan becoming too hot. The nature of ceramics is to hold
and distribute the heat more effectively, helping some protein-rich foods cook more
quickly.
Care and Cleaning
• remember to cool down your pan before cleaning as the cooler water will cause the
hot pan to warp
• although your coated pan is dishwasher safe, we don’t recommend cleaning the cook
ware in the dishwasher. The high heat will deteriorate the qualities of the coating
• clean after each use by hand with a dish detergent especially made for hand
washing. Be sure that you do not use a harsh cleaning product that is based on
citric acids or that contains chlorine bleach. Use warm, soapy water and sponge
or a dishcloth. Do not use steel wool or nylon scrubbing pads, oven cleaner or any
cleaner that is abrasive, is a citrus based cleanser or contains chlorine bleach. Rinse
in warm water and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
• always clean your cook ware thoroughly since, the next time you use it, any food
residue will cook into the surface causing food to stick
• if you have remains of food stuck to the cookware, they can easily be removed by
covering the bottom of the pan with water and letting it soak off while gently heating
it at low temperature (no need to let the water cook). Do not use a metal utensil.
• additional to the cleaning method describe above, you might consider this tip:
• after cleaning and on a dry surface, rub a little (olive) oil with a soft kitchen paper
during a minute. The oil will remove all surface impurities.
• wash away the remaining oil. Do this by hand in water with a dish detergent.
Dry immediately with a soft towel.
• if you store your pots and pans by stacking them, put, for instance, a dish towelµ
between them avoiding parts of the upper item to scratch the surface of the lower
element.
