IS IT USEFUL TO COOK AT HIGH TEMPERATURES WITH MY NON-
STICK COOKWARE?
No. Cooking at high temperature does not result in a significant decrease in cooking time and
certainly does not contribute to the quality of the food, so cooking at medium temperatures is highly
recommended. Another reason for this recommendation is that high temperature cooking might
damage the non-stick coating.
CAN I COOK IN IT WITHOUT OIL?
To extend the life of the coating, you should use a small amount of oil when stir-frying or grilling.
You do not need oil when boiling or stewing.
HOW DO YOU CLEAN A PAN?
Non-stick pan:
Cleaning by hand in soapy water is enough.
The pan must be cleaned each time it's used to remove the film of grease that can stay on the surface.
If the pan is only wiped with a paper towel or rinsed in water, the film won't be fully removed and
may cook the next time you use the pan: stains may appear.
Non-stick pans must not be cleaned with scouring powders or scouring pads. A nylon sponge is
ideal for both the interior and exterior of the pan.
Ceramic pan:
We recommend to wash the ceramic pan manually, with water and a mild detergent. In this way, it's
the most effective.
If the pan might not be clean enough during the normal dishes, you could add a splash of vinegar
and water into the pan and heat it. The water / vinegar mixture will clean cook the pan. After this,
rinse the pan well, dry and rub with a little bit of sunflower oil for example. And your pan will be as
new.
If the base is stubborn dirt, you can wet the pan soak first with hot water and a good degreasing
dishwashing detergent. Next, if necessary, you can clean the pan with a plastic scouring pad and
some liquid abrasive cleaning detergent.
Hard anodised pan:
To prolong the life of your pan, we recommend hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge.
An exterior coating protects your cookware from the harmful consequences of dishwashing. It is
therefore extremely important not to damage this coating and we recommend that you avoid the use
of scouring pads (Scotch Brite).
In case of dishwasher use, it is preferable to use gentle detergents such as a liquid or gel.
Moreover, a too intensive use of the dishwasher is not recommended.
Washing by hand without scouring pads extends the life time of your cookware.
