FAQs

Is this frying pan non-stick?

This model is not inherently non-stick. It relies on proper heating techniques and the use of cooking fats to achieve good food release.

Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

While the pan is durable, using metal utensils is not recommended as it can scratch the surface over time. Wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils are preferred.

Is the handle heat-resistant?

The handle is designed to stay cooler than the pan body, but it is advisable to use a pot holder when the pan is used on high heat for extended periods.

What is the capacity of this 24 cm pan?

The capacity is approximately 3.4 liters.

Can this pan be used in the oven?

The product information does not specify oven-safe capabilities. It is best to consult the manufacturer's direct documentation or avoid oven use unless explicitly stated.

How do I clean stubborn burnt-on food?

After the pan has cooled, fill it with warm water and a small amount of dish soap. Let it soak for a while, then gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. For very stubborn spots, you can simmer water in the pan on low heat for a few minutes before scrubbing.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the pan.

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. Use the appropriate amount of cooking fat. For stubborn residue, allow the pan to cool slightly and then wash with warm, soapy water.

Uneven cooking.

Verify that the heat source is centered under the pan and that the stovetop is level. Ensure the pan is not overcrowded, which can lead to steaming rather than searing.

Discoloration of the silver finish.

This can sometimes occur with prolonged exposure to heat or certain foods. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent. For more persistent discoloration, a specialized silver polish suitable for cookware might be used cautiously, following product instructions.
