FAQs

Can I use metal utensils with these casserole dishes?

It is recommended to use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to protect the non-stick coating and ensure its longevity. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the surface.

Are the lids dishwasher safe?

While the casserole dishes themselves should be hand-washed, the lids are also best hand-washed to maintain their performance and finish. Check the specific product manual for confirmation.

What is the temperature limit for oven use?

The casserole dishes are oven safe, but it is advisable to check the product packaging or manufacturer's website for the specific maximum oven temperature limit.

How do I reheat food in these dishes?

Food can be reheated on the stovetop over low to medium heat or in the oven. Ensure the heat is not excessively high to protect the non-stick coating.

Is this set suitable for cooking acidic foods like tomato sauce?

Yes, the non-stick coating is designed to handle a variety of foods. However, prolonged simmering of highly acidic foods might affect the coating over time, so it's best to avoid leaving them in the dish for extended periods after cooking.

What is the warranty period for this set?

Please refer to the product packaging or the MasterClass website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food and use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Clean the surface thoroughly after each use to remove any residue.

Discoloration of the interior

This can sometimes occur with acidic foods or mineral deposits. Try soaking with warm water and a mild dish soap. For persistent issues, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and wiped clean.

Lid not sealing properly

Check for any food debris around the rim of the dish or lid. Ensure the lid is seated correctly on the casserole dish.

Exterior finish appearing dull

Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.
