BALLARINI Ferrara Granitium Frying Pan - 26 cm

The Thermopoint system is a heat indicator integrated into the handle. It turns red when the pan is hot and ready for cooking, and dark green when it has cooled down enough to be safely handled and washed.

No, it is strongly recommended to use only wood or special plastic utensils. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the non-stick coating, reducing its effectiveness and lifespan.

Yes, the pan features a special induction base developed by Ballarini, making it suitable and efficient for use on all types of hobs, including induction.

For optimal longevity, hand washing with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft sponge is recommended. The pan is also dishwasher safe, but only on a gentle cycle at low temperatures (up to 50°C).

The GRANITIUM non-stick coating is PFOA, nickel, and heavy metal-free, ensuring a healthier cooking experience.

No, cutting food directly in the pan is not recommended as it can damage the non-stick surface.

Before the first use, rinse the pan with warm water, dry it thoroughly, and then lightly oil the non-stick surface with cooking oil.

Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of oil or fat. Check if abrasive utensils or cleaners have damaged the non-stick coating. Consider if cooking temperatures are too high.

Verify the pan is correctly seated on the stovetop. Ensure the hob is functioning correctly. Thick-walled construction should minimize hot spots, but ensure the heat source is appropriate for the pan size.

Check if the handle fastening needs tightening. For safety, if the looseness persists or seems significant, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Inspect for scratches from metal utensils or signs of wear from abrasive cleaning. Minor wear may not affect performance significantly, but deep scratches might compromise non-stick properties. Avoid using if coating is severely damaged.
