All about cookers

• This cookware range is suitable for use on all hob types including

induction.

• It is not suitable for conventional ovens, microwave ovens or grills.

• Always match the pan base size to the hob heat zone it is to be used on.

Gas ames must never extend up and around the side walls of the pan.

• Induction – always match the diameter of the stainless steel disc to the

induction hob cooking zone. Using a pan with a disproportionate

stainless steel disc size to cooking zone may result in reduced heat

output. In some cases the hob may not “recognise” the pan and no heat

will be generated.

All about specic pieces

• The 12cm Mini Pan is not suitable for induction hobs.

• The 4 Piece Start Set Baking Tray is suitable for all conventional ovens up

to 260˚C/500˚F with the exception of microwave ovens and suitable for

use with grills. If you use the baking tray under a grill please ensure

there is a gap of at least 6cm between the grill ame and the top edge

of the bakeware.

Understanding 5 Times Stronger

This document provides comprehensive care and usage instructions for Scoville Neverstick Cookware, a range of kitchen products designed with a "SUPER STRONG NON STICK" coating. The manual emphasizes maximizing the performance and longevity of the cookware through proper handling and maintenance.

Function Description

Scoville Neverstick Cookware is a collection of kitchen pots, pans, and baking trays designed for various cooking tasks. The core feature of this cookware is its advanced non-stick system, which is marketed as being "5 times stronger" than other non-stick coatings tested in independent laboratories. This enhanced durability means the coating requires significantly more force to degrade, offering superior resistance to wear and tear during regular use. The cookware is suitable for a wide range of cooking methods, including those on all hob types, such as induction. Specific pieces, like the 4 Piece Start Set Baking Tray, are also designed for use in conventional ovens and under grills, expanding their versatility for baking and broiling. The non-stick surface is intended to facilitate healthier cooking by requiring less oil or fat, and to make cleaning easier.

Usage Features

The Scoville Neverstick Cookware is designed for ease of use across various cooking environments. Before initial use, it is crucial to remove all packaging, labels, and stickers, and to wash the cookware thoroughly in warm soapy water.

Hob Compatibility: The entire cookware range is compatible with all hob types, including induction. This broad compatibility ensures that users can integrate these products into almost any kitchen setup without concern for specific hob requirements.
Heat Management: For optimal performance and to preserve the non-stick coating, users are advised to employ medium or low heat for the majority of cooking. While searing may initially require a medium to higher heat, the heat should be reduced once the pan is hot and food is added. The manual explicitly warns against using maximum heat settings, as this can damage the coating. It also cautions against using the boost function on induction cookers.
Pan Placement: When using the cookware on a hob, it is essential to match the pan's base size to the corresponding hob heat zone. For gas hobs, flames must never extend up and around the pan's side walls. For induction hobs, the diameter of the stainless steel disc on the pan's base should match the cooking zone to ensure efficient heat output and proper recognition by the hob. Incorrect matching can lead to reduced heat or the hob failing to "recognise" the pan.
Handling: Handles and knobs on the cookware can become hot during use, necessitating the use of oven gloves for safe handling. Users are instructed to always lift the pan on and off the hob surface, rather than sliding it, to prevent damage to both the pan base and the cooker.
Specific Piece Usage:
- The 12cm Mini Pan is an exception to the induction compatibility, as it is not suitable for induction hobs.
- The 4 Piece Start Set Baking Tray is suitable for conventional ovens up to 260°C/500°F and for use with grills. However, it is not suitable for microwave ovens. When grilling, a minimum gap of 6cm between the grill flame and the top edge of the bakeware must be maintained.
Dry Frying: When dry frying, the pan should be pre-heated on a medium setting for approximately 2 minutes before adding food. Overheating the pan during dry frying should be avoided.
Salt Addition: To prevent white marks or pitting on the cookware, salt should only be added when the contents are simmering or already cooked.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is key to extending the life and performance of Scoville Neverstick Cookware. The manual provides detailed guidelines for cleaning and care.

Utensil Choice: To protect the Neverstick coating, users are strongly advised against using metal or sharp utensils. Silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils are recommended as they will prolong the life of the non-stick surface.
Cooling Before Cleaning: After cooking, the pan should be allowed to cool before cleaning. Plunging a hot pan into cold water or filling it with cold water while hot is strictly prohibited, as this can cause damage. Similarly, a cold item should never be placed onto a hot hob.
Cleaning Agents and Tools: Abrasive cleaning agents, metal pads, stiff pads, or abrasive washing-up brushes should not be used on any surface of the cookware.
Washing Method: While the cookware is suitable for dishwasher use, subject to consulting the dishwasher and cleaning agent manufacturers' instructions, hand washing is highly recommended. Washing by hand in warm soapy water and wiping clean with a soft cloth will significantly prolong the life of the Neverstick coating.
Removing Deposits: Surface dulling and white deposits can be removed by gently cleaning the affected area with a nylon pad soaked in warm water and a mild liquid detergent.
Food Storage: To maintain the cookware's condition, food should not be left in the cookware after cooking. Additionally, once cooled, any remaining foodstuffs containing salt should not be left in the cookware to prevent potential damage.
