Product Information
Full details
The Stellar Cast Light 3L Saute Pan is an ideal choice for home cooks who appreciate the superior heat retention of traditional cast iron but prefer a more maneuverable, lightweight tool. This pan excels at searing and everyday stovetop tasks, offering a durable PFAS-free honeycomb cooking surface that develops a natural non-stick patina with use. While it is significantly lighter than standard cast iron, users should note that the enameled finish requires careful handling to avoid chipping, similar to other high-end enameled cookware.

Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the surface
Ensure the pan is preheated before adding ingredients and ensure you are using a sufficient amount of cooking oil to help develop the non-stick patina.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before the first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. While the pan features a honeycomb surface that builds a patina, it is recommended to apply a very light coat of cooking oil before the first few uses to aid the seasoning process.
Compatibility: This pan is fully compatible with all hob types, including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction. It is also safe for use in ovens up to 240°C.
Care: To preserve the enamel finish and the cooking surface, avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the material; silicone or wooden tools are preferred. Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent thermal shock, and avoid the dishwasher to ensure the longevity of the materials. Clean with a soft sponge and avoid harsh abrasive scouring pads.
