FAQs

Is this frying pan truly non-stick?

The stainless steel interior is designed to be non-reactive and easy to clean. While not a non-stick coating like PTFE, proper preheating and use of cooking oil or fat will provide good food release properties, preventing most sticking.

Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

While the stainless steel interior is durable, it is generally recommended to use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prolong the life of the pan's surface and prevent scratching.

How often should I use a copper cleaner?

A copper cleaner should only be used when necessary to restore the shine if the copper exterior has become discolored or dull from cleaning or use. Regular hand washing in warm, soapy water should suffice for everyday care.

What does the 'pans for life' refurbishment scheme involve?

The 'pans for life' scheme typically offers services such as professional cleaning, re-polishing, and handle replacement to help maintain your cookware's performance and appearance over time. Details can be found on the Samuel Groves website.

Is the handle safe to hold when the pan is hot?

The handle is designed to be ergonomic. While it stays cooler than the pan body, it will still heat up during use, especially when on the hob. It is advisable to use a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling a hot pan.

What are the dimensions of the frying pan?

This specific model is a 26cm frying pan, referring to its diameter.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the interior

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding oil and food. Use the appropriate amount of cooking fat. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Clean the interior thoroughly after each use.

Uneven cooking or hot spots

Verify that the pan is fully contacting the heat source and that the heat level is appropriate for the cooking task. Ensure the pan is not warped, which can affect heat distribution.

Discoloration or dulling of the copper exterior

This is likely due to improper cleaning. Hand wash gently with a soft cloth and mild dish soap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized copper cleaner, following its instructions carefully, and always rinse and dry thoroughly.

Pan does not heat on induction hob

Confirm that your induction hob is functioning correctly and that the pan's base has sufficient magnetic properties. Most induction pans have a fully encapsulated stainless steel base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Samuel Groves Copper Induction frying pan is designed to work with all hob types, including electric, gas, ceramic, halogen, and importantly, induction. Its stainless steel base ensures compatibility across these surfaces.

Care Instructions: To maintain the beauty and longevity of the copper exterior, hand wash only in warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive scouring pads or harsh detergents, which can damage the copper finish. Dry thoroughly immediately after washing. The stainless steel interior is easier to clean; however, for best results and to preserve the pan's non-reactive properties, hand washing is recommended for the entire pan. Avoid prolonged soaking.

Initial Use: Before first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. You may wish to season the pan lightly with cooking oil.
