Is the saucepan dishwasher safe?
While the pan is built for professional durability, hand washing is recommended to preserve the aesthetic finish and performance of the stainless steel.
Can this pan be used in the oven?

No, this model does not include a lid; lids are generally sold separately for professional series cookware.
What is the capacity of this saucepan?

Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the base
Ensure the pan is preheated correctly before adding fats or ingredients, and use medium heat rather than high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
Compatibility: The base is perfectly flat, ensuring optimal contact with induction hobs. It is equally performant on gas burners, though you should ensure the flame does not extend up the sides of the pan.
Care: While the pan is durable, it is recommended to wash by hand with a non-abrasive sponge. To maintain the shine, a stainless steel cleaner can be used periodically. Avoid using harsh steel wool or chlorine-based detergents, which can damage the metal surface.
