Use and Care Manual

Only frying pans, saucepans or saute pans from the Ingenio range can go in the oven, thanks to
their detachable handles (ensure that the detachable handle is removed). Utensils should never be
used in a microwave or convection oven.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND WARNINGS
• Wash the frying pan in hot water and washing-up liquid to remove any dust. Dry it and rub a little
cooking oil into the non-stick coating before using for the first time. Remove any excess oil.
• Wash and dry your kitchenware after each use.
THERMO-SPOT®: TO WHAT TEMPERATURE DOES THE FRYING PAN
NEED TO BE HEATED FOR THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR TO CHANGE
COLOUR?
For frying pans: between 140 °C and 195 °C
For crepe pans: between 165 °C and 240 °C
This is the optimum temperature for frying and searing food. This indication helps you cook healthier
and at an ideal temperature.
CAN I USE METAL UTENSILS WITH MY FRYING PANS AND SAUCEPANS?
You should refer to the recommendations for use indicated on the packaging or in the instructions
included with the product. With some ranges, you can use certain metal utensils with the exception
of knives and whisks. However, to extend the life of your frying pans and saucepans, we strongly
recommend that you do not use metal. Choose plastic or wood.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN FOOD STARTS TO STICK? (CERAMIC
COATING ONLY)
The non-stick properties of the ceramic coating are a lot more limited, both in terms of performance
and duration, than those of the classic (PTFE) coating. We recommend cooking with more fat as well
as washing more vigorously with slightly more washing-up liquid. For baked-on food, we recommend
leaving your kitchenware to soak in soapy water, possibly with a little white vinegar.
Over time, the ceramic base will become stained without it being possible to remove the marks. This
will not impair the performance of the kitchenware in any way and does not present any danger for
health.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
• Use plastic or wood utensils, with some ranges, you can use certain metal utensils with the
exception of knives and whisks (Refer to the recommendations for use indicated on the packaging or
in the instructions included with the product).
• Avoid cutting directly in the pans.
• Do not gouge the non-stick surface. Slight surface marks or abrasions are normal and will not
affect the cookwares performance.
• After cooking, do not let pans boil dry and do not leave empty pans on a heated burner.
• Always select the proper electric burner size or adjust the gas burner so the flame only touches the
bottom of the pan and does not climb up the sides.
• Never leave pans unattended while cooking.
• Let pans cool before cleaning.
WHY CAN A PAN TURN GONDOLA-SHAPED?
A pan warps under thermal shock (an overheated empty pan, a hot pan in contact with cold water or
placed on a cold surface, etc.).
Before cleaning the pan, let it cool to room temperature.
A warped pan will give poor cooking results.
CAN I PUT MY PANS INTO THE MICROWAVE?
Pans should NEVER be used in a microwave oven.
WHAT TYPE OF UTENSILS SHOULD I USE?
Depending on the range (check the packaging), most metal utensils can be used except knives,
forks and whisks. However, care should be exercised when using any metal utensil. Avoid using
