FAQs

Can I put these pans in the dishwasher?

While some modern coatings are dishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to hand wash the Salter Alto range to extend the life of the non-stick coating.

Are these pans safe for induction hobs?

Yes, the base is specifically designed to be compatible with all hob types, including induction.

Can I use metal spoons with these saucepans?

No, you should avoid using metal utensils as they will damage the non-stick coating. Stick to wooden or silicone tools.

Are the lids oven safe?

No, the lids and the pans themselves are not suitable for oven use.

What does PFOA-free mean?

It means the non-stick coating is free from Perfluorooctanoic acid, a chemical often associated with traditional non-stick manufacturing, making the pans a safer choice for your home.

How do I remove burnt-on food?

Soak the pan in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes, then gently wipe away the residue with a soft cloth. Never use steel wool.

Troubleshooting

Food is starting to stick to the surface

Ensure you are not using high heat settings, which can carbonize the surface. Clean the pan thoroughly and consider a small amount of oil to re-condition the non-stick layer.

Discoloration on the exterior base

This is often caused by excessive heat or residue from the hob. Clean the base with a gentle non-abrasive cleaner designed for cookware.

Handle feels loose

Check the screw connecting the handle to the pan body. If it has worked loose over time, gently tighten it with a suitable screwdriver, being careful not to overtighten.

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:

  1. Heat Management: Always use low to medium heat settings. High heat can degrade the non-stick coating and potentially damage the handle material.
  2. Utensil Selection: Use only silicone, wooden, or nylon utensils. Metal tools will scratch and shorten the lifespan of the non-stick surface.
  3. Cleaning: Hand washing with a soft sponge is highly recommended. Avoid using harsh scourers or abrasive cleaning agents.
  4. 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.
  5. Hob Use: When using on induction, ensure the base of the pan is clean and dry to ensure the best magnetic contact.
