Extended Product Information
FAQs
How does the Thermo Collar technology work?
The Thermo Collar is a heat-sensitive indicator embedded in the pan. When the pan reaches the optimal cooking temperature (around 180-200°C), the collar turns green, signaling it's ready for food. This helps prevent overheating and ensures efficient cooking.
Are the Salter Go Green pans truly PFAS-free?
Yes, the product description states that the ceramic non-stick coating is PFAS-free, meaning it does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often found in conventional non-stick cookware.
Can I use metal utensils with this pan set?
It is strongly recommended to use only wood, silicone, or nylon utensils with the ceramic non-stick coating to prevent scratching and maintain its performance and longevity.
What is the best way to clean the pans?
Hand wash is the preferred method using warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads. Allow the pans to cool before washing.
Are these pans oven-safe?
While the forged aluminium body might withstand some oven heat, the soft-touch handles are generally not designed for high oven temperatures. Always check the specific product manual or packaging for any stated oven-safe limits, but hand washing is recommended for longevity.
What hob types are compatible with this set?
The Salter Go Green Thermo Collar pan set is suitable for all common hob types, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.
How do I maintain the non-stick coating?
Always preheat the pan gradually, use medium heat settings, employ appropriate utensils (wood, silicone, nylon), avoid extreme temperature changes, and clean gently by hand. Seasoning with a little oil before first use and occasionally thereafter can also help.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pan
Ensure the pan is preheated properly (wait for the thermo collar to turn green) before adding oil and food. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick surface. If the issue persists, the non-stick coating may be degrading due to age or improper care.
Thermo collar not indicating temperature
Check that the collar is clean and free from debris. Ensure the pan is heating evenly on the hob. If the collar remains unchanged after significant heating, there may be a defect with the indicator.
Pan is warped or discolored
Warping can occur due to overheating or dropping the pan. Discoloration may result from cooking acidic foods for extended periods or using abrasive cleaners. Allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning and avoid extreme temperature changes.
Handles feel loose
Periodically check the attachment of the handles. If they feel loose, do not use the pan. Contact customer support for guidance, as handles are typically not designed to be user-tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Oven use is generally not recommended for this set, especially with the soft-touch handles. Always check the product packaging for specific oven-safe temperature limits if applicable.
Care & Cleaning:
Hand wash recommended: To preserve the non-stick coating and handle integrity, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is advised.
Avoid abrasive cleaners: Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
Cool before washing: Allow pans to cool down before washing to prevent thermal shock, which can warp the cookware.
Storage: Use pan protectors or place a cloth between pans when stacking to prevent scratches on the non-stick surface.
