Coated cookware
The HardFace products have a new, durable Hardtec 5000 coating on the inside, which makes the products easy to use and clean.The body of the products is aluminium, parts bakelite.
Wash a new product using a mild detergent before first use. Remove stickers and labels. Treat the inner surface with some cooking oil. Due to the slippery surface, the products are easy to clean by hand, using a normal detergent. If you use a dishwasher, treat the inner surface from time to time with some cooking oil, since detergents for dishwashers tend to dry the coating. We recommend hand washing for Hard Face. We do not recommend storing food in coated products after cooking of frying.
Coated cookware makes cooking easy and more healthy. You can use less fat and a lower temperature for frying, and the food will not burn so easy.
Use moderate temperature – position 4 at the most (scale 1-6) - for long lasting frying. More than 250º C will damage the coating and weaken its non-stick properties. Reduce the temperature as soon as the food begins to boil or gets browned. You can detect the temperature by adding a drop of water or some fat to the pan. The water will evaporate at 100º C and the fat begins to smoke at about 200º C.
