Troubleshooting
Uneven cooking or hot spots
Ensure the correct heat setting is used for the food being cooked. Verify the pan is seated evenly on the hob and that the hob is functioning correctly. Clean the base of the pan to ensure good contact.
Food sticking to the pan
Preheat the pan before adding oil or food. Ensure sufficient cooking fat is used. For delicate foods, allow them to cook undisturbed until they release naturally. If residue remains after cooking, soak the pan.
Discoloration on the pan exterior/interior
This can be caused by overheating or mineral deposits from water. For external discoloration, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner. For internal discoloration, a paste of baking soda and water, or simmering with a little water, can help. Always dry pans thoroughly after washing.
Handles feel loose
While designed for durability, check if the rivets securing the handles are loose. If so, contact Stellar customer service regarding the lifetime guarantee.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This cookware set requires no assembly. Ensure all packaging is removed before first use.
Compatibility: The Stellar Profile set is designed for use on all hob types, including induction, gas, electric ceramic, and solid plate hobs. Ensure the pan base is clean and flat on the hob surface for optimal performance.
Care:
