When it may not be suitable

This 16cm saucepan may not be suitable for preparing large family-sized meals or bulk cooking due to its compact capacity. If you require cookware for high-volume food preparation, a larger diameter pot would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 16 cm
• Material: Forged aluminium
• Coating: 30x tougher non-stick surface
• Lid: Tempered glass with steam vent
• Compatibility: Suitable for all hob types including induction
• Oven safe: Yes

How to use

Place the saucepan on a burner that matches the diameter of the base to ensure optimal heat efficiency. For induction hobs, ensure the pan is centered correctly. You may begin your cooking process on the stovetop and transfer the pan directly into the oven if your recipe requires finishing at higher temperatures. Always use oven mitts when handling the pan after it has been in the oven. When cleaning, allow the pan to cool down completely before washing to preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 16cm size meets your specific portion requirements.
• Ensure your oven dimensions and temperature settings are compatible with the pan's oven-safe rating.
• Check that your stovetop surface is compatible with the base diameter.

Usage recommendations

To maintain the longevity of the non-stick surface, avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers during cleaning. While the pan is metal utensil safe, using silicone or wooden tools will further extend the life of the coating.
