Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your new Salter Alto saucepans for the first time, wash them in warm, soapy water and dry them thoroughly. To maintain the longevity of your pans:
- Heat Management: Always use low to medium heat settings. High heat can degrade the non-stick coating and potentially damage the handle material.
- Utensil Selection: Use only silicone, wooden, or nylon utensils. Metal tools will scratch and shorten the lifespan of the non-stick surface.
- Cleaning: Hand washing with a soft sponge is highly recommended. Avoid using harsh scourers or abrasive cleaning agents.
- Storage: If stacking the pans, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them to prevent the base of one pan from scratching the non-stick coating of the other.
- Hob Use: When using on induction, ensure the base of the pan is clean and dry to ensure the best magnetic contact.
