When it may not be suitable

This saucepan may not be the ideal choice for users who prefer non-stick surfaces for low-fat cooking, as it requires proper heat management to prevent food from sticking. Additionally, those looking for a larger capacity vessel for batch cooking for large families might find the 20cm diameter insufficient for their specific needs.

Key specifications

• Material: Stainless steel
• Hob compatibility: Induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen
• Construction: Durable, heat-conductive base

How to use

To use the saucepan, place it centrally on a burner that matches the diameter of the base to ensure optimal heat efficiency. Preheat the pan on a medium setting before adding oil or ingredients. When cooking, adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a steady simmer or boil. After use, allow the pan to cool down gradually before washing to prevent thermal shock, which can warp the metal.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that your hob size matches the 20cm diameter for the best energy efficiency
• Consider if you require a non-stick coating or if you prefer the durability of stainless steel
• Verify the storage space available in your kitchen cupboards

Usage recommendations

To maintain the longevity of your stainless steel cookware, avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the surface. Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to preserve the finish, although the pan should be dried immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
