FAQs

Is this pan truly induction compatible?

Yes, the Stellar 3000 Black Sautepan features an induction-ready base designed to work effectively on induction hobs, as well as gas, ceramic, halogen, and solid plate hobs.

How do I clean the non-stick surface without damaging it?

Wash by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and metal utensils to protect the Teflon Platinum Professional coating.

Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

It is strongly recommended not to use metal utensils as they can scratch and damage the PFOA-free Teflon Platinum Professional non-stick coating.

What is the warranty period for this sautepan?

Stellar offers a Lifetime Guarantee on the pan construction, with a specific 10-year warranty on the non-stick coating.

Can I put this pan in the dishwasher?

While the pan might be dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the integrity and longevity of the non-stick coating and the high gloss finish.

How does the dimpled base help with cooking?

The dimpled base reduces the direct contact area between your food and the pan surface, promoting less sticking and allowing for sautéing with little to no oil.

What is the purpose of the vented glass lid?

The vented glass lid allows you to see your food cooking without lifting the lid, and the vent lets excess steam escape safely, preventing boil-overs.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the pan

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of oil or cooking spray if necessary. Check that you are not using metal utensils which can damage the coating.

Uneven cooking results

Verify that the hob burner is centered under the pan and is the appropriate size. Ensure the pan is placed on a level surface on the hob.

Non-stick coating seems worn or damaged

Stop using metal utensils and avoid abrasive cleaning. If the coating is significantly damaged, it may be time to consider replacement. Refer to the warranty information for details.

Handle feels loose

The handle is securely riveted. If it feels loose, contact Stellar customer service for inspection or potential repair/replacement under warranty.
