Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the surface
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated on medium-low heat before adding food. Use a small amount of oil or butter. Check that you are not using metal utensils that could have scratched the coating. If the non-stick properties have diminished, the coating may be worn.
Uneven heating
Ensure the hob is clean and the casserole is centered on the heat source. For induction, verify the pan's diameter is compatible with the hob's zone. Over time, heavy pans can warp slightly, leading to uneven heating. Using medium heat generally mitigates this.
Handle feels loose
Check if the handle is securely riveted. If it appears loose or damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support. Do not attempt to tighten rivets yourself.
Discoloration on the exterior
Exterior discoloration can occur from high heat or mineral deposits from water. Try cleaning the exterior with a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for cookware exteriors.
