FAQ - Frequently asked questions
18/10 steel contains nickel. For those with severe allergies, enamel or glass pots (nickel-free) are recommended.
This is the result of thermal shock – pouring cold water on a hot pan or heating it too quickly on an induction hob (Booster function).
Theoretically yes, but detergents shorten the life of the non-stick coating. We recommend hand washing.
It is the process of baking oil onto the surface, which creates a natural non-stick coating and protects the cast iron from rusting.
They have thermal insulation or are spot-welded, which limits the heat transfer from the pot's walls.
Only those with a special ferromagnetic base. Pure copper does not work on induction cooktops.
High-quality steel, cast iron (un-enamelled), or ceramic. Avoid cheap, damaged PTFE coatings.
A minimal amount is enough, e.g., brushing the meat with a little oil. The grooves separate the food from the rendered fat.
These are vibrations from the pot's base caused by the high power of the magnetic field. Higher quality pots with thick bases are quieter.
To start, 3 pots (small, medium, large) and a saucepan are enough. Large sets often contain items you won't use.
