What materials is the GreenPan Padova Reserve set made of?
The cookware features a 3-ply construction with stainless steel exteriors and interiors, and a reinforced aluminum core for optimal heat conductivity.
Is this set truly 'uncoated'?
Yes, the Padova Reserve Stainless Steel set is uncoated, meaning it does not have a non-stick coating. It relies on the quality of the stainless steel and proper cooking techniques for food release.
What is the warranty period for this set?
The set comes with a lifetime guarantee, offering assurance of its durability and quality.
Can I use metal utensils with this cookware?
Yes, you can use metal utensils with this stainless steel cookware, as it is designed to be durable and resistant to scratching from metal.
How do I clean tough stains or burnt-on food?
For tough stains, soak the pan in warm, soapy water. For burnt-on food, simmer a mixture of water and a tablespoon of baking soda in the pan for a few minutes, then gently scrape with a wooden or silicone spatula. Avoid harsh scouring pads.
What are the exact dimensions of the pieces in the set?

Can I freeze food in these pots?
While the cookware is durable, it is not specifically designed for freezing. It's best to transfer food to freezer-safe containers before freezing.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the surface.
Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding oil and food. Use adequate cooking oil or butter. Allow food to cook undisturbed until it naturally releases from the pan.
Uneven cooking or hot spots.
Verify that the correct heat level is being used for the cooking task. Ensure the hob burner or element is centered with the base of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat thoroughly.
Discoloration on the stainless steel.
This is often caused by mineral deposits from water or starch from foods like pasta or potatoes. Use a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water, and rub gently with a soft cloth.
Difficulty removing the pan from the hob.
Ensure the bottom of the pan and the hob surface are clean and dry. If using induction, ensure the pan is correctly centered on the cooking zone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Before first use, wash all pieces with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Dry completely.
Compatibility: This cookware is compatible with all hob types, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction. It is also oven safe up to 220°C (425°F).
Daily Use: Use medium heat for most cooking. High heat is generally not necessary due to the efficient heat distribution. For best results with sticky foods, preheat the pan before adding oil, then let the oil heat up before adding food. Allow the food to cook undisturbed for a minute or two to release naturally.
Cleaning: After use, allow the cookware to cool before washing. The set is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. For stubborn residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh detergents, which can scratch the stainless steel surface. For tougher stains or discoloration, a specialized stainless steel cleaner can be used following product instructions.
