This durable, everyday Kuhn Rikon set brings together an 18/10 stainless steel saucepan, a stainless steel casserole, and a non-stick frying pan, usable on any hob or in the oven. Comfortable bakelite handles stay cool on the hob, and vented glass lids seal in the heat, flavours and aromas on the saucepan and casserole, while a thick, encapsulated base efficiently absorbs and spreads heat throughout the set.

Care
- Washing the saucepan and casserole: Dishwasher safe, or handwash with hot soapy water. Metal, silicone or wooden utensils can all be used.
- Washing the frying pan: Handwash rather than the dishwasher, to protect the non-stick coating. Use silicone or wooden utensils rather than metal.
- Judging heat on the uncoated pieces: Watch the fat, which thins and moves freely once hot enough, or use the water droplet test for searing: beading and rolling means the right temperature, instant evaporation means too cool, and scattering into small fast droplets means too hot.
- General use: Heat pans gradually rather than starting on high heat. Match the pan diameter to the hob ring. Avoid dragging pans across a glass-topped hob.
- Oven use: Use an oven shelf rather than the oven floor, and oven gloves when removing pans.
Questions and Answers
Q: Is the whole set dishwasher safe?
A: The stainless steel saucepan and casserole can go in the dishwasher or be washed by hand. The non-stick frying pan should be handwashed, to protect the coating and help it last.
Q: Can I use metal utensils?
A: Yes, on the uncoated saucepan and casserole, since there's no coating to protect. On the non-stick frying pan, we recommend silicone or wooden utensils instead.
Q: What's included?
A: A 1.5L/16cm saucepan and a 3L/20cm casserole, both uncoated stainless steel with glass lids, plus a 24cm non-stick frying pan.
