FAQs
Can I use these pans on an induction hob?
Yes, the pans are constructed with a magnetic 18/0 stainless steel base, making them fully compatible with all induction cooktops.
Are these pans truly non-stick?
They do not have a chemical non-stick coating. They provide non-stick characteristics through proper temperature management and the use of oil or fat during the cooking process.
What is the maximum oven-safe temperature?
These pans are designed to be oven safe; however, it is recommended to keep them at standard moderate baking temperatures.
Are the handles really heat-resistant?
The hollow riveted handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop; however, they may become hot if used inside an oven, so always use oven mitts.
Do I need to season the pans?
No, as they are high-quality stainless steel, they do not require seasoning like cast iron, though regular cooking with oils will naturally condition the surface over time.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the pan surface
The pan was likely not hot enough before adding oil and food. Ensure the pan is preheated until a drop of water dances across the surface before adding your ingredients.
Discoloration or rainbow-like stains appear on the stainless steel
This is often caused by overheating or mineral deposits. These stains can be easily removed by cleaning the interior with a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of vinegar and baking soda.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, wash your pans in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly to remove any manufacturing residues. These pans are compatible with all induction, gas, and electric ranges. To maintain the finish, avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the surface, and always allow the pan to cool before submerging it in water to prevent thermal shock. While dishwasher safe, hand washing with a mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended to maintain the polished silver aesthetic over the life of the product.
