Product Information
Full details
The Stellar Zero 28cm Saute Pan is an excellent choice for home cooks who prioritize chemical-free, durable cookware and want a versatile tool for browning, simmering, and one-pan meals. Featuring an innovative Tri-Ply construction and a naturally non-stick, etched stainless steel surface, it provides professional-grade heat distribution without reliance on PFAS or PTFE coatings. While this pan offers superior longevity and metal-utensil safety, users transitioning from traditional non-stick surfaces should be prepared to use a small amount of oil or fat to achieve optimal food release.

Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the pan
Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding ingredients and always use a small amount of oil or fat to act as a barrier.
Discoloration or rainbow-like marks on the base
This is often caused by overheating or mineral deposits. Use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or a paste of vinegar and baking soda to restore the finish.
The pan is taking too long to heat
Check that the induction hob setting is appropriately high or that the pan is centered correctly on the heating element.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before the first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. Dry it thoroughly before heating.
Compatibility: This pan is designed for use on all hob types, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction. Ensure your induction burner size matches the base diameter for maximum efficiency.
Care: While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the exterior shine over time. To handle stubborn stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm water and a drop of dish soap, let it soak, then clean with a non-abrasive scouring pad. Avoid using excessive heat settings, which can cause discoloration.
