Product Information
Full details
The Stellar Zero 30cm Saute Pan is an excellent choice for home cooks who prioritize health-conscious, PFAS-free cooking without sacrificing non-stick performance. With a generous 5.7-litre capacity and professional Tri-Ply construction, this pan is perfect for preparing family-sized one-pan meals like curries or braises; however, it requires a brief adjustment period to master the "natural non-stick" heating technique compared to traditional chemical-coated pans.

Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pan
The pan was likely not hot enough before adding food. Ensure the pan is preheated over medium heat until a drop of water dances on the surface before adding oil.
Discoloration or rainbow stains
This is normal with stainless steel due to heat tint or mineral deposits. Use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water to buff it away.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Before first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues. It is recommended to perform a light seasoning by heating a small amount of high-smoke-point oil in the pan and wiping it out with a paper towel.
Compatibility
- Hobs: Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction stoves.
- Oven: Safe for oven temperatures up to 240C.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water will extend the life of the surface finish. For stubborn food residue, use a non-abrasive scouring pad or a paste of baking soda and water.
- Storage: If stacking, use a pan protector or a cloth between pans to prevent surface scratching.
