FAQs

Is this pan truly non-stick?

No, the BergHOFF Helix frying pan does not have a non-stick coating. It is made from stainless steel, which requires proper cooking techniques and a small amount of cooking fat to prevent sticking.

What is the maximum temperature the pan can withstand in the oven?

The pan is oven-safe up to 250°C (480°F).

Can I use this pan on an induction cooktop?

Yes, the pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as Ceramic, Electric, Gas, and Halogen hobs.

How should I clean the pan after use?

The pan is dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid harsh scouring pads or steel wool.

What does 'capsule base' mean?

A capsule base refers to a layer of aluminum or copper encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel at the bottom of the pan. This construction promotes quick and even heat distribution.

Is the handle heat-resistant?

The handle is made of stainless steel and is designed for a secure grip. While it can get warm during stovetop use, it is generally more heat-resistant than plastic handles. Using a pot holder is recommended for prolonged cooking or when removing from a hot oven.

What is the capacity of the pan?

The pan has a capacity of approximately 2.2 liters.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the pan

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or fat. Do not use excessively high heat, especially with lean ingredients.

Uneven cooking or hot spots

Verify that the heat is set to a medium level and allow the pan to heat evenly across the entire base before adding food. Ensure the cooktop burner is appropriately sized for the pan base.

Difficulty cleaning stubborn residue

Soak the pan in warm, soapy water for 15-30 minutes. For burnt-on food, gently simmer water in the pan for a few minutes. Use a non-abrasive sponge and avoid harsh scrubbing tools.

Pan is wobbly on the stovetop

Ensure the stovetop surface is level and clean. Check that the base of the pan is free from debris. Some slight movement can occur with all cookware on certain cooktop surfaces.

Care and Cleaning:

  • Stains/Discoloration: If minor discoloration occurs, a paste of baking soda and water can often be used to gently scrub the affected area. For stubborn residues, soaking in warm water can help.
  • Storage: Store carefully to avoid scratching the interior surface. Consider using pan protectors if stacking.
