FAQs
Can I use metal utensils with the Grano Saucepan?
Yes, the stainless steel surface is durable and resistant to metal utensils, though using silicone or wooden tools can help preserve the polish for longer.
Is the handle heat-proof?
The riveted handles are made of stainless steel and are designed to stay cooler on the stovetop, but they will become hot if used in the oven or over high direct flames.
Do I need to season this pan?
No, stainless steel does not require seasoning like cast iron, but preheating the pan on medium heat before adding oil helps create a natural non-stick effect.
Can I use this for deep frying?
While it is safe for high temperatures, the 2.2-litre size is generally better suited for sauces, soups, and boiling rather than deep frying.
Is the lid made of glass or steel?
The included matching lid is made of durable, polished stainless steel to match the saucepan's body.
Troubleshooting
White spots or mineral deposits on the interior
These are usually calcium deposits from water. Clean by boiling a mixture of water and a splash of white vinegar in the pan.
Rainbow-like discoloration on the steel surface
This is a heat tint caused by overheating. It can be removed with a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Tips
- Use moderate heat settings; stainless steel is an efficient heat conductor and rarely requires 'high' settings.
