Care of Ceramic Coating Cookware


 
Some of Iittala’s products feature a new type of ceramic coating capable of being heated to very high temperatures, even for flambéing. The coating is suitable for all types of hobs, particularly induction and gas hobs. You can use metal utensils on ceramic coatings, however, cutting, denting, and sharp items may damage the surface.

You will achieve the best result by using a small amount of grease when using a pan with ceramic coating. A mixture of butter and sunflower oil has proved the best for ceramic-coated-pans utensils. Cold-pressed oils are not suitable for frying. Ordinary rapeseed oil is also not ideal for ceramic coat-ings.

Adjust the heat to the food you are cooking. You can brown food rapidly in a ceramic-coated pan, and rarely need to use maximum heat. Clean any burnt food or accumulated reside with a washing-up brush and hot water. If necessary, soak in a mild solution of washing-up liquid or detergent. Always wash the utensils immediately after use, by hand or in a dishwasher.
