Full details
The Urbn-Chef Cookware Set is an ideal solution for home cooks seeking a durable, chemical-free non-stick experience without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Crafted from high-quality ceramic-coated aluminium with a striking metallic copper exterior, these pans facilitate healthier cooking by reducing the need for excess oils or butter. While they provide excellent versatility across all hob types, users should be mindful that like most ceramic coatings, the non-stick surface requires gentle handling to maintain its longevity over time.

FAQs
Are these pans safe for oven use?
The Urbn-Chef series is primarily designed for stovetop use. Please check the base stamp or manual to confirm if specific handles are heat-resistant for oven temperatures.
Can I use metal utensils with this set?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid metal utensils to prevent permanent scratching of the ceramic non-stick coating.
What is the best way to clean the copper exterior?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive scouring pads to keep the metallic finish looking new.
Do I need to use oil or butter?
While the ceramic coating is designed for low-fat cooking, a small amount of oil or butter can help preserve the non-stick surface and improve browning.
Are the handles heat-resistant?
The handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop under normal conditions, but always use an oven mitt if you are cooking for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Food is starting to stick to the pan
Check if the pan was overheated, which can compromise the ceramic surface. Ensure you are using a light coating of oil and avoiding high-heat settings.
Visible scratches on the cooking surface
This is typically caused by using metal utensils. Switch to silicone or wooden tools immediately to prevent further damage.
Pan is not heating up efficiently on induction
Ensure the pan is centered correctly on the induction ring and that the diameter of the burner matches the size of the pan base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Urbn-Chef cookware performs at its peak, follow these guidelines:
- Pre-Heating: Always heat the pan gradually on medium settings rather than using high heat immediately to preserve the ceramic coating.
- Utensil Selection: Use only silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils. Avoid metal forks, knives, or scrapers, as they will scratch the non-stick surface.
- Cleaning: While the set is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended to extend the life of the ceramic coating.
- Storage: Avoid stacking the pans directly on top of each other. If you must stack them, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them to prevent surface damage.
- Compatibility: These pans are fully compatible with induction, gas, electric, and halogen cooktops.
