FAQs

Is the entire set induction compatible?

Yes, the Berghoff Helix cookware set features a capsule base that is suitable for all hob types, including induction.

Can I use metal utensils with this cookware?

While the stainless steel is durable, it is generally recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to preserve the finish and prevent potential scratches over time.

What is the capacity of the casserole dishes?

The set includes two casserole dishes: one with a 20 cm diameter (approximately 3 L capacity) and another with a 24 cm diameter (approximately 5.4 L capacity, which is referred to as a stock pot in some descriptions).

How should I clean the lids?

The glass lids are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.

What is the maximum oven temperature for this set?

The cookware is ovenproof up to 230°C (446°F).

Does the set include a milk pan?

No, the set does not include a dedicated milk pan. It includes a saucepan (1.5 L), two casseroles, a stockpot, and a frying pan.

Are the handles truly cool to the touch?

The handles are designed to be heat-resistant, but like all metal handles, they can become warm during prolonged cooking. Using oven mitts or pot holders is recommended when handling hot cookware.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the pan surface.

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food and use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. For persistent sticking, consider using a non-stick cooking spray or adjust heat levels.

Uneven heating or hot spots.

Verify that the cookware is centered on the stovetop element and that the heat setting is appropriate for the cooking task. Ensure the capsule base is clean and in full contact with the heating surface.

Discoloration on the stainless steel surface.

This can be caused by mineral deposits from water or overheating. Clean with a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Avoid overheating the pan.

Handles feel loose.

While designed to be sturdy, check if the rivets securing the handles are loose. If so, professional repair might be needed, though this is uncommon with quality stainless steel cookware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Berghoff Helix cookware set comes ready for immediate use. Ensure all packaging materials are removed before the first use.

Compatibility: This cookware is compatible with a wide range of stovetops, including ceramic, electric, gas, halogen, and induction cooktops. Always ensure the cookware base is clean and dry before placing it on any heat source.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: All items are dishwasher safe. For best results and to maintain the satin finish, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth is recommended.
  2. Stains: For stubborn food residue or discoloration, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel, or a paste of baking soda and water. Avoid using steel wool or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
  3. Oven Use: The cookware is ovenproof up to 230°C. Ensure handles are not in direct contact with extreme heat sources in the oven or during stovetop use, especially with gas burners where flames can extend beyond the pan base.
  4. Storage: Store pieces carefully to avoid scratching. Using pot protectors between stacked items is advisable.
