MAINTENANCE TIPS

Polished Steel Paella pans and other polished steel pans

Before using for the first time

We recommend remove the label and bring some water to the boil. Hot water will help you when the label doesn´t come off easily. Boiling water also remove the thin protective coat of varnish. Then wash with detergent and water. Dry the pan with a soft cloth (Never allow the pan to air dry). Now it´s ready to use.

If you are not going to use your pan immediately after cleaning, rub both the inside and outside of the pan with cooking oil, wrap in paper and store in a plastic bag in a dry place.

Precautions during use

Never place the pan on the heat when it´s empty. Avoid overheating the pan. Monitor the heat intensity at all times. This pan may be used in the oven but do not allow it to be exposed to temperatures higher than 250º C or for more than 10 minutes. For oven use, we recommend our enamelled pans instead. Never use in microwave ovens. Use only wooden or metal utensils and never plastic.  Polish steel and enamelled pans reach higher temperatures, while is use the entire pan is hot including the handles.

Maintenance

Clean your polished steel pan with detergent and water. The easiest way to remove stuck food is to fill the pan with soapy water for one hour which will soften the stuck food. Afterwards, wash the pan. When the pan is clean dry it with a soft cloth and rub it with cooking oil. Then wrap it in paper and place it in a plastic bag.

Enamelled paella pans and other enamelled pans

Precautions during use

Never put the pan on the heat when empty. Monitor the heat intensity at all times and avoid overheating the pan. This pan may be used in the  oven but never in microwaves. Stainless steel or wooden utensils may be used, but avoid banging the inside of the recipient with them.

Maintenance

Enamelled pans has an easy maintenance. In spite that enamel coating makes cleaning easy, it doesn´t have any non stick properties, therefore bits of food may become stuck. To remove stuck food fill the pan with soapy water at least for one hour and then wash the pan. When clean keep it in a place where it is unlikely to be knocked.
