We have carefully curated five Toughened Nonstick Pro cooking tips that will not only ensure your nonstick pots and pans last a lifetime, but also simplifies everyday meal preparation. From avoiding metal utensils to using minimal oil, we have you covered.
When cooking with Toughened Nonstick Pro pots and pans, it is crucial to avoid metal utensils as they can easily scratch the surface of the pan. Over time, the integrity of the nonstick surface will wear down, limiting its functionality. Additionally, sharp knives should never be used directly on nonstick pans as they can compromise the surface.
Typically we recommend our vast selection of Silicone Tools, ensuring the nonstick surface remains intact for years to come without the fear of scratching, peeling, or chipping the pan’s coating. Wooden utensils as well as heat-resistant plastic utensils can also be used and will not damage the integrity of the nonstick coating.
When it comes to Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware, it is always recommended to proceed with caution. Typically, nonstick pans heat up quickly and evenly. In fact, Toughened Nonstick Pro cookware retains heat exceptionally well. Be sure to preheat your Toughened Nonstick Pro pots and pans with caution on low to medium heat settings, gradually allowing them to reach the appropriate temperature.
Taking time to evenly preheat your nonstick cookware will ultimately ensure its longevity, preserving its nonstick prowess for years to come. Rapid and excessive heating, by contrast, can lead to permanent damage of the nonstick surface, completely eliminating the benefits of nonstick cooking.
Stay clear of high heat when it comes to Toughened Nonstick Pro cookware, as excessive heat can erode nonstick properties over time, as well as lead to warping, discoloration, and irreversible damage to the nonstick surface.
This is particularly important when searing meat, poultry, or fish on medium to high heat. When your Toughened Nonstick Pro pan reaches the appropriate temperature, simply reduce the heat and continue cooking your ingredients. Please note that Le Creuset’s limited lifetime warranty does not cover damage to the nonstick surface due to overheating.
While it may be tempting to store leftovers directly in nonstick cookware, minimizing cleanup, avoid this practice at all costs. Prolonged contact with residual moisture and acids from food will inevitably compromise the nonstick coating.
Instead, it is always recommended to transfer leftovers to appropriate tupperwares or storage containers before rinsing off the nonstick pan once it cools down. This simple step will safeguard the integrity of your cookware, preserving the full breadth of their nonstick properties for years to come.
Toughened Nonstick Pro cookware eliminates the need for using oils, fats, and butter while cooking, promoting healthier and lighter meal preparation. Its nonstick surface also reduces the need for using aerosol cooking sprays. These cooking sprays can damage your nonstick pan and have a tendency of coating the surface of your pan if used repeatedly.
For optimal browning, simply introduce a little oil or fat before preheating your nonstick pots and pans. This subtle change not only enhances the natural flavors of your dish but also preserves the nonstick coating's longevity. Keep in mind that the oil or fat in the pan should never reach the point of smoking!
Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware: Care and Use
Caring for your Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware is essential to maintaining its superior performance and longevity. Follow these best practices to ensure a lifetime of culinary excellence.
Always allow nonstick cookware to completely cool off before cleaning to prevent warping. In fact, plunging a hot pan in cold water can lead to thermal shock. While our Toughened Nonstick Pro pots and pans are dishwasher-safe, it is typically recommended to hand-wash with nonstick cleaning pads. Harsh detergents and high temperatures can affect the cookware's appearance and performance over time.
Metal or abrasive pads as well as abrasive cleaning agents on any of the nonstick surfaces should be avoided. Stubborn residues can easily be removed by soaking the nonstick pan in warm, soapy water before washing. For superior results, our Nylon Cleaning Brush or a similar soft brush can be used to clean the corners and edges.
When it comes to storing your nonstick cookware, avoid stacking nonstick pans directly onto each other as contact between their surfaces can lead to scratching. You can use pot protectors, trivets, or dish towels to separate them. For comprehensive care and use instructions, refer to Le Creuset's guidelines here
