Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the surface
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding oil and food. Use the recommended cooking temperatures and avoid excessive heat. If using cooking spray, use sparingly and clean the pan after use. Check that you are not using metal utensils.
Handles feel loose
Check if the screws holding the handles are tightened. If loose, carefully tighten them with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
Uneven heating
Ensure the cookware is centered on the heat source. For induction cooktops, verify the cookware's diameter is compatible with the burner size. Allow the aluminum to heat evenly for a minute before adding ingredients.
Discoloration on exterior
This can sometimes occur due to high heat or mineral deposits from water. Try cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for cookware. Ensure the cookware is fully dry after washing.
