Care
- Before first use: Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- While cooking: Always use oven gloves when handling anything hot. Use the most appropriately sized hob ring, especially on induction. Cook on a medium or low heat and let it heat up gradually.
- Induction hobs: Avoid the 'boost' function, which is intended for rapidly heating large volumes of water rather than cooking.
- Glass hobs: Never slide the pan across a glass-topped hob, as this can damage both the base and the glass. Always lift it on, off, or across the surface.
- Using salt: Don't pour salt directly onto the stainless steel surface. Add it to hot cooking liquid or food instead, to avoid damage.
- Handling when hot: Rest the pan on a heat resistant surface once removed from the heat.
- Grill use: When using under the grill, leave at least a 5cm gap between the heat source and the top of the pan.
- Cleaning: Let it cool before cleaning. Wipe off any leftovers, and soak stuck-on food in warm soapy water for 15 to 20 minutes before washing.
- Dishwasher: Dishwasher safe.
Questions and Answers
Q: What's the difference between the Signature range and 3-Ply?
A: It's the same technology and performance as 3-Ply. What makes Signature a bit more expensive is the finish, since the high shine polish costs more to produce, so you're paying for aesthetics rather than a functional difference.
Q: Will scratches or marks affect how it performs?
A: No, any cosmetic marking on the surface finish doesn't affect the pan's cooking performance, it's purely visual.
Q: Is it microwave safe?
A: No, it isn't suitable for microwave use.
Q: Is it dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, this pan is dishwasher safe.
