Yes, it is dishwasher safe for convenience. However, handwashing is recommended to help preserve the ZEROSTICK coating for a longer lifespan.
What hob types is this saucepan compatible with?

Is the ceramic coating PTFE free?

How should I clean the saucepan for the best results?
For best results and to preserve the non-stick coating, handwash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers.
Troubleshooting
Food is starting to stick to the pan.
Ensure you are not consistently using very high heat, which can degrade any non-stick surface over time. While dishwasher safe, handwashing with warm soapy water is recommended for best results to preserve the ZEROSTICK coating. Make sure the pan is clean and free of any residue build-up before each use.
The handle gets hot during cooking.
The ergonomic cast stainless steel handle is designed for oven use and can retain heat. Always use oven mitts or a heat-resistant cloth when handling the saucepan, especially after prolonged cooking or removal from the oven.
The glass lid fogs up or has condensation.
This is normal during cooking and indicates steam trapped within the pan. It allows you to see the contents. For clear visibility, briefly lift the lid to release some steam, or wipe the inside of the lid if condensation is excessive after cooking and cooling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Unpack: Carefully remove the saucepan and lid from its packaging.
Initial Wash: Before first use, wash the saucepan and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse well and dry completely.
Compatibility
Hob Types: This saucepan is designed for use on all hob types, including:
Induction
Electric
Gas
Ceramic
Oven Use: It is heat-proof up to 350°C, allowing for seamless transition from hob to oven.
Utensil Safety: The ZEROSTICK Ceramic Pro coating is tough enough to be used with metal spatulas and utensils, though silicone, wooden, or nylon utensils are generally gentler on non-stick surfaces and can help extend the coating's life.
Care & Maintenance
Cleaning: While the saucepan is dishwasher safe, handwashing is strongly recommended to preserve the ZEROSTICK coating for a longer period. Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid harsh scourers or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
Storage: When storing, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans if stacking to prevent scratches to the non-stick surface or exterior.
Heat Management: Always pre-heat on a low-to-medium heat setting. High heat should only be used for boiling liquids. Excessive heat over prolonged periods can reduce the lifespan of any non-stick coating.
Cooling: Allow the saucepan to cool completely before washing it. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause thermal shock and potentially warp the pan or damage the coating over time.
