Use and Care Instructions

Before first use, wash the cookware with hot soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry carefully. Follow these seasoning steps:

1. Pour 1 mm of oil onto the bottom of the pan.

2. Heat the oil to its smoke point (until it starts to smoke).

3. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool.

4. Pour out the oil and wipe the pan with a paper towel.

5. Heat the pan again for 2 minutes without oil. Your pan is now ready to use.

Compatibility and Oven Use

• Can be used on any type of cooktop, including induction.

• All products with stainless steel handles are suitable for oven use.

• Precautions for other products (without stainless steel handles) when used in the oven:

  • Do not use the "broil" function.

  • Do not exceed 400°F (approx. 200°C) for a maximum of 10 minutes.

Recommendations for Induction Cooktops

To maintain the durability of the cookware when using it on an induction surface:

• Match the size of the heated cooking zone to the diameter of the cookware base.

• Increase the temperature gradually.

• Avoid using the "booster" function.

• Do not overheat when empty.

Important Notes

• Use caution after prolonged cooking or oven use (risk of burns).

• With use, steel cookware may change color and develop blue or black discoloration. This is a natural reaction.

• Do not leave food in the cookware after cooking.

• Do not use acidic foods (tomatoes, white wine, lemon, etc.) in steel cookware.

Cleaning

• Wash with a sponge and hot water.

• If food residue is burnt on, use deglazing (pouring water into the hot pan) or soak for a few minutes, then scrape it off.

• Do not wash in the dishwasher.

Care

• Do not store in a damp place.

• You can lightly oil the pan: place 1 or 2 drops of oil (for example, olive oil) on a paper towel and gently wipe the inside and outside of the pan. This creates a protective layer against oxidation. Wipe with a cloth or paper towel.

• It is normal for the paper towel to become discolored; this is caused by the seasoning process and does not mean the pan needs to be washed again.
