FAQ

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

You have the questions - we have the answers.
On our FAQ page you will find interesting facts about our coatings as well as useful tips on using and caring for the products.

You should keep this in mind:

Longevity

Higher temperatures during heating can lead to discoloration and thus destroy the non-stick coating.

All coatings are sensitive to scratches and cuts. Small scratches are visible, but do not impair the properties. Nevertheless, we do not recommend the use of metal cutlery and other sharp objects in cookware. Instead, the use of plastic or wooden utensils is recommended.

A small amount of grease or a drop of oil will also significantly extend the life of the product.

Temperature stability

Generell gilt: niemals eine Pfanne leer erhitzen. Insbesondere nicht bei Induktionskochfeldern. Die kritischen Temperaturen können schnell erreicht werden.

PTFE-Pfannen können im Dauergebrauch bis 230 °C und kurzzeitig bis 250 °C erhitzt werden. Aus diesem Grund eignen sich PTFE-Pfannen nur bedingt für scharfes Anbraten.

Überhitzung kann zu Verfärbungen und zur Verminderung des Antihafteffekts führen. Ebenso ist durch Überhitzen Blasenbildung oder ein Ablösen der Beschichtung möglich.

Instructions for use

Before using for the first time, remove the packaging, labels and all stickers and clean the pan with hot water and liquid detergent.

Never heat cookware unattended or empty on the hob. A drop of oil as a temperature indicator is helpful to recognize overheating. As such, the use of a little cooking oil or fat enhances the flavor of the food.

The use of plastic or wooden utensils is recommended to avoid damaging the surface seal.

Cleaning and care instructions

After use, clean the pan with hot water, a mild washing-up liquid and a sponge cloth or the fine side of a dishwashing sponge. A soft dishwashing brush can also be used for cleaning. Always wipe the pan dry before storing it.

Stubborn food residues should never be cleaned with a metal sponge or the sharp side of a dishwashing sponge. Instead, soak the product in warm soapy water and then carefully clean the surface. Poorly cleaned items significantly reduce the non-stick effect and destroy the coating.

The product can be cleaned in the dishwasher, although this is not recommended due to the aggressive cleaning agents. Cleaning by hand is preferable.

Important note:

Have you bought a frying pan, a baking pan or another product and found an ILAG logo on the packaging? Then congratulations! You have chosen a product with an excellent non-stick coating. But: ILAG is NOT the manufacturer of the product, but only responsible for the non-stick coating. If you have any complaints or general questions, please contact the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
