FAQs

The product description does not specify the exact number of place settings for the tableware, but it is designed as a comprehensive kitchen starter set for all occasions.
Can the cookware be used on an induction hob?

What is the maximum temperature the cookware can withstand in the oven?
The cookware is ovenproof up to 175°C.
How should I clean the non-stick coating?
Hand washing with warm, soapy water and non-abrasive cleaning tools is recommended to maintain the ceramic non-stick coating. Avoid metal utensils.
Are the silicone covers included in the set dishwasher safe?
The product description mentions silicone covers as practical extras but does not specify their dishwasher safety. It is advisable to check their specific care instructions or hand wash them.
Is the stoneware microwave safe?
Yes, the stoneware tableware is microwave safe.
Can I stack the cookware directly on top of each other?
While the cookware is stackable for space-saving, it is recommended to use the provided pan protectors or soft cloths between pieces to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the cookware
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated and a small amount of oil or butter is used. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick surface. Clean the pan thoroughly as per care instructions; residue can affect non-stick performance.
Tableware chipping or cracking
Handle stoneware with care, avoiding sharp impacts. While dishwasher safe, avoid placing heavy items directly on top of delicate rims. Do not subject stoneware to extreme temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot dish on a cold surface).
Cookware handles becoming loose
Periodically check the tightness of the Bakelite handles. If loose, gently tighten the screws. Do not overtighten. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Uneven heating on stovetop
Ensure the cookware is placed centrally on the hob burner. Verify that the hob surface is clean and level. The spiral base is designed for even heat distribution; ensure it is making good contact with the heat source.
