Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the non-stick surface.
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated and a small amount of cooking oil or fat is used. Check that you are not using metal utensils which can scratch the coating. If the non-stick property has diminished, the coating may be worn.
Uneven heating.
Verify that the hob burner is the correct size for the base of the saucepan. Ensure the pan is seated correctly on the hob and not tilted. Check for any debris on the hob or pan base that might be affecting heat transfer.
Exterior discoloration.
Discoloration can sometimes occur due to overheating or certain food residues. Try cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for cookware exteriors. Avoid excessive high heat for prolonged periods.
Pouring spout drips.
Ensure you are pouring at a steady pace. A slight drip can occur with any cookware; wiping the rim with a cloth before pouring can help minimize this. Ensure the pan is not overfilled.
