Cooking with Stainless CladUpdated 10 months ago

You’re about to make some of the best food you’ve ever made! To utilize your Stainless Clad pan to its full potential, here are a few key tips to use when cooking in it. 

1. Generally speaking, our recommended heat range for stove cooking is low to medium heat. Since our pans have layers of aluminum in the core, our pans are quite conductive. If you are used to using less efficient heat conducting pans like some non-sticks or cast iron, you may be used to overheating your pans. Overheating your pan can cause damage like heat blush or warping and is not necessary with premium cookware like Made In. It will also cause oil or food to burn to your pan, making cleanup an unnecessary pain.
2. Never leave a piece of cookware on heat for an extended period of time, especially if the pot or pan is empty. This can cause severe damage such as thermal shock and even warping.
3. Do not add salt until your water is boiling. Salting your water early can cause pitting, which will not affect the performance of your cookware, but can affect the cosmetic appearance of the pan.
