FAQs
Can I use metal utensils with the cookware?
It is not recommended to use metal utensils as they can scratch and damage the non-stick coating over time. It is best to use silicone, wood, or plastic utensils.
What is the maximum temperature the cookware can be used in the oven?
The cookware is oven-safe up to 175°C (approximately 347°F). Remember to detach the handles before placing the cookware in the oven.
Are the silicone covers for the cookware or dinnerware?
The silicone covers are designed for use with the cookware (pots and pans) to store leftovers directly in the cookware, acting as lids for refrigerator storage.
How many people does the dinnerware set serve?
The dinnerware set is designed for up to six people.
Can I put the detachable handles in the dishwasher?
Yes, the detachable Bakelite handles are designed to be dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
What are the pot protectors for?
The pot protectors are fabric or felt discs placed between cookware pieces when stacked to prevent scratches and damage to the surfaces.
Is the stoneware dinnerware stackable?
Yes, the dinnerware is designed to be stacked inside each other for efficient storage.
Troubleshooting
Cookware handle does not attach securely
Ensure the handle's connection points are clean and free of debris. Align the handle correctly with the cookware's fitting and press firmly until the click mechanism engages. Check for any visible damage to the handle or cookware fitting.
Food sticks to the non-stick surface
Verify that sufficient cooking oil or fat was used, especially when cooking at higher temperatures. Ensure the non-stick coating has not been scratched or damaged by metal utensils or abrasive cleaning. Preheat the pan moderately before adding food.
Dinnerware appears stained
For stubborn stains on stoneware, try a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub. Ensure the dishwasher is loaded correctly to avoid food residue buildup.
Cookware is not heating evenly
Confirm the cookware is centered on the heat source. Ensure the heat is appropriate for the size of the cookware. Check that the spiral base is clean and free from warping.
