Product Information
Full details
The Agnelli Baldassare Nonna Aurelia Oven (28 cm) is an ideal choice for home bakers and cooks who want the versatility of an oven without the need for electricity or gas-heated appliances. This stovetop-based cookware allows you to bake cakes, bread, or even roast meats directly on your burner, providing an authentic Italian cooking experience. While it offers excellent portability and heat retention, users should note that stovetop baking requires more active heat management compared to conventional electric ovens to prevent over-browning.

FAQs
Can I use this in an actual oven?
While it is designed for stovetop use, it is made of heat-conductive materials; however, it is specifically optimized for burner-based cooking.
Does it work on induction cooktops?
It is not natively compatible with induction. You must use a steel induction adapter plate to generate the necessary heat.
How do I know when my cake is done?
Use a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is finished.
Is this dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the finish and structural integrity of the cookware.
What is the primary function of the iron plate?
The iron plate acts as a diffuser, spreading the concentrated heat of the burner across the entire base of the pan to ensure even baking.
Can I cook savory dishes like pasta in it?
Yes, it is designed for versatile use, including pasta dishes, roasts, and breads.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the base
Ensure the mold is properly oiled and dusted with flour or breadcrumbs before adding the batter, and allow it to cool slightly before unmolding.
Bottom is burning while the top remains raw
Reduce the heat intensity on the burner and ensure the included iron heat diffuser plate is properly centered between the burner and the mold.
Surface oxidation or discoloration
Avoid soaking the item for long periods; wash by hand and dry thoroughly immediately after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, ensure the mold is clean and dry. To maintain the integrity of the material, avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the surface; opt for silicone or wooden tools. After each use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately to prevent corrosion. Ensure the mold is fully cooled before attempting to clean it. The unit is compatible with gas and electric stovetops. If you are using an induction cooktop, you will need to place an induction-ready adapter disc underneath the iron plate for the system to function.
