Does the handle get hot during use?
The handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop under normal cooking conditions, though you should use a cloth if it has been in the oven.

Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pan surface
Ensure the pan is adequately pre-heated before adding oil, or lower the cooking temperature once the pan has reached the desired heat.
Rainbow-colored spots appearing inside the pan
This is a harmless heat tint caused by mineral deposits or overheating; it can be easily removed by cleaning with a small amount of white vinegar.
White spots or cloudy film on the base
This is typically caused by calcium deposits from hard water; wipe the surface with a solution of water and vinegar to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, wash the saucepan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. The pan is compatible with all stovetop surfaces; when using on induction, ensure the base is centered on the element to ensure optimal energy transfer. For regular care, the saucepan is fully dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the brilliant finish of the stainless steel, hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge is recommended. If you encounter stubborn stains or burnt-on food, a light application of a stainless steel cleaner or a paste made of baking soda and water will restore the surface without scratching.
