The Judge Aura Draining Saucepan is an ideal choice for home cooks who value efficiency and space-saving design in the kitchen. With its 1.8-litre capacity and integrated straining lid, it simplifies the process of boiling pasta, vegetables, or potatoes by eliminating the need for a separate colander. While its high-grade aluminium construction ensures excellent heat distribution, users should be mindful that the non-stick coating requires gentle care to maintain its longevity.

FAQs
Is this pan safe for induction hobs?
Yes, the Judge Aura range is fully compatible with induction, gas, ceramic, and halogen stovetops.
Can I use metal spoons with this pan?
It is not recommended. Metal utensils can scratch and degrade the non-stick coating, reducing its performance.
How do I align the lid for draining?
Simply rotate the lid so the straining holes are positioned directly over the pan's pouring lip.
Is the handle oven safe?
The stay-cool handles are designed for stovetop use; avoid placing the pan in an oven unless specifically verified for your model's temperature limits.
What is the capacity of this pan?
The pan has a capacity of 1.8 litres.
Does the pan come with a lid?
Yes, it includes a matching, specialized lid with built-in straining holes.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the base
Ensure the pan is not being overheated and avoid using metal utensils that may have damaged the non-stick coating.
Base is discoloured
This is often caused by high heat settings on gas stoves; reduce the flame so it does not lick up the sides of the pan.
Lid is not draining properly
Ensure the lid is correctly aligned with the pouring lip before tilting to drain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your saucepan for the first time, wash it in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and non-abrasive detergent to protect the Xylan non-stick coating.
Compatibility is universal; however, when using on induction hobs, ensure you match the pan size to the smallest burner setting possible for maximum efficiency. To prolong the life of your cookware:
- Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils.
- Avoid using metal forks or knives directly on the interior surface.
- Do not heat an empty pan for extended periods.
- Allow the pan to cool before submerging it in cold water to prevent thermal shock.
