Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Tefal Titanium Force cookware, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the non-stick coating. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. The non-stick exterior also makes cleaning simple. Avoid abrasive scourers, steel wool, or harsh detergents.
- Utensils: Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils when cooking. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the non-stick surface, compromising its effectiveness and lifespan.
- Heat Settings: Use medium to low heat settings for most cooking. The Thermo-Signal will indicate when the optimal temperature is reached. Extreme high heat can degrade the non-stick coating over time.
- Storage: When storing, place a paper towel or felt protector between stacked pans to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.
- Cooling: Allow pans to cool completely before washing them. Placing a hot pan directly into cold water can cause warping.
