Full details

The Kuhn Rikon New Life Pro Serving Pan (24cm) is designed for eco-conscious home cooks seeking a durable and versatile pan for gentle cooking and everyday meals. Its key benefit is its construction from 100% recycled aluminum, reducing environmental impact while offering excellent heat distribution. A minor caveat is that the stainless steel handles, while ergonomic, can become hot when used in the oven. This pan features a 3-layer non-stick coating reinforced with ceramic particles, a thick base for optimal heat retention, a glass lid with a steam opening, and is suitable for all hob types, including induction, and oven use.

FAQs

What does '100% recycled aluminium' mean for the pan's performance?

Using recycled aluminium means the pan is produced with significantly less energy and environmental impact. The quality of the recycled aluminium used by Kuhn Rikon is high, making it durable and providing excellent heat conductivity and retention, comparable to or even better than virgin aluminum.

How do I best maintain the non-stick coating?

To maintain the non-stick coating, avoid using metal utensils, excessive high heat, and abrasive cleaners. Hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended for longevity. Always allow the pan to cool down before washing.

Can I use this pan on any type of hob?

Yes, the Kuhn Rikon New Life Pro Serving Pan is designed to be suitable for all hob types, including Ceramic, Gas, Halogen, and Induction.

Is it safe to put the lid in the oven with the pan?

The pan is oven-safe up to 240°C. However, the glass lid is also oven-safe, but it's important to note that the stainless steel handles attached to the pan can become very hot during oven use, and protective mitts should always be used.

Why is hand washing recommended over using a dishwasher?

While the pan is dishwasher-safe, the harsh detergents and high temperatures in dishwashers can degrade the non-stick coating and exterior finish over time. Hand washing gently with warm, soapy water helps preserve the pan's performance and appearance for longer.

What is the capacity of the pan?

The serving pan has a capacity of 3 Liters.

Are the handles truly 'stay-cool'?

The ergonomic stainless steel handles are designed to stay cooler than the pan body during stovetop use. However, they can become hot when the pan is used in the oven, so oven mitts are essential when handling the pan after it has been in the oven.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the non-stick surface.

Ensure the pan is preheated appropriately and a small amount of cooking oil is used if recommended for the recipe. Avoid using excessively high heat which can damage the non-stick coating over time. If sticking persists, the non-stick coating may be worn and may need replacement.

Uneven heating.

Verify that the hob is set to the correct size for the pan's base and that the pan is placed centrally on the heat source. Ensure the full-surface induction plate is making good contact with the induction hob.

Handles feel loose.

Check if the rivets securing the handles are tight. If they appear loose, contact customer support for advice or repair options.

Lid rattling or not sitting flush.

Ensure the lid is correctly positioned on the rim of the pan. Slight variations in fit can occur, but significant gaps might indicate an issue. Check the steam opening for any blockages.

Care:

  • Dishwasher Use: The pan is technically dishwasher-safe, but frequent use of a dishwasher may reduce its lifespan.
  • Cooking Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.
  • Cleaning Stubborn Residue: If food residue is difficult to remove, soak the pan in warm water for a period before cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
