CHOOSING YOUR COOKWARE MATERIAL

ALUMINIUM

Aluminium cookware is a great conductor of heat. Seasoning new aluminium cookware is not necessary. However please note, aluminium can discolour over time. Cleaning is easy using soapy-wool pad or similar products such as the 3M pot & pan handler. Aluminium products include frypans, sauce pans, bakeware and stockpots.

ALUMINIUM BAKEWARE

This exceptional bakeware is manufactured from high quality, single sheet aluminium to produce seamless and therefore totally hygienic bakeware product with a satin finish.

BLACK IRON

Black iron has adequate heat absorption and conduction. Black iron cookware should always be seasoned. First brush the surface with flavourless vegetable oil, then add enough oil to cover the base and put into an oven at 1300C for approx. an hour. Empty and wipe out with paper towel.

Black iron products include frying pans, crepe pans and omelette pans woks and bake ware.

CAST IRON

Cast iron is a good slow conductor. Remember to season before use (see Black Iron for season instructions)

OVEN PROOF CHINA

Oven proof china absorbs and holds heat well. Extremely high firing temperature makes oven to table china very resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks. Safe for use in ovens and microwaves, but should never be exposed to naked flame or electrical elements. To clean use detergent and water only. Do not scour or scratch the surface as this leads to bacteria forming in cracks.

Oven proof china products include casserole dishes, soufflés, gratin dishes and moulds.

COPPER

Super conductor of heat. Copper interacts with all foods so vessels must be lined with tin or stainless steel. To clean copper, polish with cleaner and wash with soap and water. Do not scour or scrub.

OVEN PROOF GLASS

Good absorption of heat. Oven and microwave safe due to the firing process. To clean, soak in warm water. For scouring use nylon scouring pads. Oven proof glass products includes Pyrex.

STAINLESS STEEL

Good conduction only if bottoms include aluminium or copper. No seasoning required. To clean wash with soap and water. Do not scour. To remove burnt on food, fill with water and bring to the boil.

GENERAL CARE AND USE TIPS FOR ALL TYPES OF COOKWARE.

Ensure all labels are removed from cookware. Before using for the first time, wash in hot soapy water to remove any lubricants or particles remaining from the manufacturing process.
To prevent possible damage to any cookware, do not leave cookware items exposed to heat source without food or liquid inside.
Allow cookware to cool before soaking or washing. This will safeguard against warping as well as help prevent accidental burns in handling.
When preparing mixtures high in salt content, add salt to the liquid after it reaches boiling point and stir to dissolve the salt. This will prevent the salt from pitting the cookware.
Do not allow salt solutions, acidic products (such as tomato based products), disinfectants, bleach or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with any type of cookware for extended periods as they may corrode the cookware.
