FAQs

What are the exact dimensions and capacities of each pan in the set?

The set includes an 18cm open saucepan (capacity approx. 2.3L), a 20cm casserole (capacity approx. 3.5L), and a 24cm stockpot (capacity approx. 6.5L). Specific height and lid dimensions are not provided but are standard for these diameters.

Can I use metal utensils with these pans?

Yes, you can use metal utensils with the Stellar Profile pans as they are made from robust 18/10 stainless steel. However, to preserve the pristine polished finish for longer, using wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils is recommended.

How durable is the polished steel finish?

The polished steel finish is designed for durability and resistance to corrosion. However, like all polished surfaces, it can be scratched by abrasive materials. Regular cleaning and drying will help maintain its appearance.

Is the lid included with each pan?

The product description mentions an 18cm open saucepan, a 20cm casserole, and a 24cm stockpot. Typically, casseroles and stockpots come with lids, while open saucepans do not. Please refer to specific product packaging or retailer details for confirmation on lid inclusion for each item.

What is covered by the lifetime guarantee?

The manufacturer's lifetime guarantee typically covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use. It does not cover damage caused by misuse, accidents, overheating, or normal wear and tear.

Can these pans be used for deep frying?

While the pans can withstand high temperatures and are suitable for many cooking methods, they are not specifically designed as deep frying pans. The 24cm stockpot might be usable for smaller batches, but care must be taken with oil levels and heat control.

Troubleshooting

Pan is discolored after heating.

This is often caused by overheating or mineral deposits from water. For heat tint (rainbow or blue discoloration), a specialist stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water can often restore the original appearance. For white spots, it may be mineral deposits that can be removed with a vinegar solution.

Food is sticking to the pan.

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding oil and food. Use a sufficient amount of cooking oil. For sticky foods, preheat the pan, add oil, let it heat until shimmering, then add food. Do not overcrowd the pan. For delicate items, ensure the pan is hot enough to release the food naturally.

Uneven cooking despite using the pan.

Verify that the heat setting on your hob is appropriate for the cooking task. Ensure the pan is fully seated on the hob surface, especially with induction or ceramic hobs. Check that the hob's diameter is similar to the pan's base for optimal heat transfer.

Handles feel loose.

The handles are riveted. If a rivet appears loose, contact the manufacturer for warranty service. Do not attempt to tighten the rivets yourself, as this may damage the pan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all three pans from their protective packaging.
  2. Wash the pans thoroughly in warm, soapy water before first use to remove any manufacturing residue. Rinse and dry completely.

Compatibility:

  • Hobs: This set is compatible with all types of hobs, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic.
  • Oven: The pans are safe for use in conventional ovens up to 240°C (464°F).
  • Microwave: Not suitable for microwave use.

Care:

  • Hand Washing: While the pans are dishwasher safe, hand washing with a mild detergent and a soft cloth or sponge is recommended to maintain their polished finish and longevity.
  • Dishwasher Use: If using a dishwasher, place the pans on the top rack if possible. Use non-abrasive dishwasher detergents.
  • Cleaning Stubborn Residue: For burnt-on food, soak the pan in warm water for a period, then use a non-abrasive cleaner or a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
  • Drying: Always dry the pans thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots, especially on the polished exterior.
  • Storage: Store pans with pan protectors or cloths between them to prevent scratching.
