FAQs

What makes the Commichef Plus pan different from regular pans?

The Commichef Plus features a superior XYLAN non-stick coating for easier cooking and cleaning, and is constructed from JYH21CT stainless steel which offers 30% more efficient thermal conductivity than standard stainless steel for quicker, more even heating.

Can I use metal utensils with this frying pan?

It is strongly recommended to use only wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the XYLAN non-stick coating from scratches and maintain its performance.

Is this pan safe for induction cooktops?

Yes, the Commichef Plus frying pan is designed to be compatible with all heat sources, including induction.

How should I clean the pan?

For best results and to preserve the non-stick coating, hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

What are the dimensions of this specific frying pan?

This model is 20cm in diameter. The overall dimensions are approximately H:5 x W:40 x D:21 cm, with a weight of 0.8 kg.

Can I use this pan for high-heat cooking like searing?

While the pan is durable, it's recommended to use low to medium heat for most cooking, especially with the non-stick coating. High heat is often unnecessary due to its efficient heat distribution.

What other cookware is available in the Commichef Plus collection?

The collection includes stock pots, casserole pots, saucepans, sauté pans, and woks in various sizes, all made with the same high-quality materials and features.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure the pan is preheated adequately on medium-low heat before adding food. Use a small amount of oil or butter. If the non-stick surface is compromised, it may need to be replaced.

Uneven cooking or hot spots

Verify that the heat source is centered under the pan and is not too high. Ensure the heat source size matches the pan base. Allow the pan to heat evenly before adding food.

Pan is difficult to clean after use

Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residues, soak the pan in warm water for a short period before cleaning. Avoid harsh detergents.

Discoloration on the exterior or interior

Discoloration can sometimes occur due to high heat or mineral deposits from water. For exterior discoloration, a stainless steel cleaner may help. For interior discoloration, ensure consistent cleaning with non-abrasive methods.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of the XYLAN non-stick coating and stainless steel body:

  1. Cooking: Use low to medium heat for most cooking. High heat is generally not required due to the pan's efficient heat distribution.

  3. Cleaning: Allow the pan to cool before washing. Hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the coating.
  4. Dishwasher: While the pan is durable, hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick properties of the XYLAN coating over time. If using a dishwasher, place it on a gentle cycle.
  5. Storage: Store carefully to avoid scratching the interior. Consider using pan protectors or hanging the pan.
