Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Russell Hobbs Classic Collection 5 Piece Pan Set requires minimal setup. Simply unpack the pans and lids. We recommend washing all pans and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water before their first use to remove any manufacturing residues, then rinse and dry completely.
Compatibility
- Hob Types: Info needed: While stainless steel cookware is generally compatible with most hob types (gas, electric, ceramic), specific compatibility with induction hobs should be verified if this is a requirement. Please consult the product manual or manufacturer's specifications for full details.
Care
- Dishwasher Safe: All pans and lids in this set are designed for convenient dishwasher cleaning. Place them securely in your dishwasher, ensuring they do not block spray arms.
- Hand Washing (Recommended for Frying Pan): While the non-stick frying pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is highly recommended to prolong the life of its non-stick coating. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents.
- Stainless Steel Pan Care: For the stainless steel saucepans, remove any burnt-on food by soaking in warm, soapy water before cleaning. For stubborn stains or discoloration, specialized stainless steel cleaners or a paste of baking soda and water can be effective. Rinse thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils with the non-stick frying pan to protect its surface. Metal utensils are generally safe for the stainless steel saucepans, but care should be taken to avoid scratching.
- Storage: Ensure pans are completely dry before storing to prevent water marks or corrosion. Stacking pans with a cloth or pan protector in between can prevent scratches.
