Product Information

Full details

This 20cm saucepan from the Russell Hobbs Côte Range is designed for home cooks seeking control and comfort during everyday meal preparation. Its key benefit lies in the PFAS-free ceramic non-stick coating and even-heating forged aluminium body, promoting healthier cooking and easier cleanup. A minor consideration is that while suitable for all hobs, users should ensure their induction hob is compatible with magnetic cookware.

FAQs

Is the ceramic non-stick coating safe?

Yes, the ceramic non-stick coating is PFAS-free, meaning it does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, making it a safer option for everyday cooking.

Can I use metal utensils with this saucepan?

It is recommended to avoid metal utensils as they can scratch and damage the ceramic non-stick coating, reducing its effectiveness and lifespan. Use silicone, wood, or nylon alternatives.

Is this saucepan dishwasher safe?

While the saucepan is designed to be dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to preserve the integrity and performance of the non-stick coating for longer.

What does 'induction ready' mean?

'Induction ready' means the base of the saucepan contains magnetic material, allowing it to work with induction cooktops. For it to function, your induction hob must also be designed to work with magnetic cookware.

How should I care for the non-stick coating?

To care for the coating, avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, do not use metal utensils, and allow the pan to cool before washing. Lightly oiling the surface before cooking can also help maintain its performance.

What is the size of this saucepan?

This is a 20cm diameter saucepan, suitable for preparing smaller portions, sauces, or side dishes.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure adequate preheating and use a small amount of oil or butter. Check that the non-stick coating has not been damaged by abrasive cleaning or metal utensils.

Pan not heating on induction hob

Verify that your induction hob is compatible with magnetic cookware. Check that the base of the pan is clean and in full contact with the hob surface.

Handle becoming loose

If the handle feels loose, ensure it is tightened securely. If it remains loose or damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Discoloration of the non-stick surface

Slight discoloration may occur with prolonged high heat or certain foods. This typically does not affect performance. For significant changes, review cleaning and cooking habits.
