The cookware is made from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel.
Can I use this set on an induction cooktop?
Yes, the set features magnetic steel bottoms and is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as all other types of stoves.
Is it safe to put these pots in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is recommended to maintain the quality and finish of the stainless steel. The manufacturer advises against using a dishwasher.
What pieces are included in the AJM100S7 set?
The set includes a stockpot, a two-handled casserole pot, a low casserole pot, a saucepan, and three lids (16cm, 20cm, and 24cm).
Are the handles oven-safe?
The product description does not specify oven-safe temperatures for the handles. It is generally recommended to use caution with stainless steel handles at high oven temperatures.
How do I clean stubborn food residue?
For stubborn residue, soak the pot in warm, soapy water for an extended period. Avoid harsh scrubbing. A paste of baking soda and water can also help lift residue.
What is the diameter of the pots and lids?
The set includes pots with diameters of 16 cm, 20 cm, and 24 cm. The corresponding lids are also available in these sizes.
Is this set suitable for professional kitchens?
While made from high-quality materials, the recommendation for hand washing might make it less ideal for high-volume professional settings. It is primarily designed for discerning home kitchens.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pot.
Ensure proper preheating of the pan before adding oil and food. Use adequate cooking fat. For sticking that is difficult to remove, soak the pot in warm, soapy water and clean gently.
Uneven heating.
Verify the cookware is centered on the heat source. Ensure the correct burner size is used for the pot's diameter. For induction, confirm the pot is properly seated on the hob.
Discoloration on stainless steel.
This is typically heat tint or mineral deposits. It can be removed by gently rubbing with a soft cloth and a paste of baking soda and water, or a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
Lids not fitting snugly.
Ensure the correct lid is matched to the corresponding pot diameter (16cm, 20cm, 24cm). Check for any debris on the rim of the pot or the lid.
