Suitability of Saucepans
For best advise regarding the selection of appropriate cookware, we
recommend that you contact your saucepan manufacturers or retail specialists.
Below is a general guide for your convenience:-
1. Stainless Steel - Very suitable.
2. Enamelled Steel - Very suitable. However it is important to note that a
minimum pot base metal thickness of between 2.5 - 3mm is necessary to
achieve best results.
3. Aluminium - Can be used but with caution. We advise you to contact your
saucepan manufacturer to check suitability. Aluminium is a relatively soft metal
and when making contact with the Ceran surface may leave a metal residue on
the glass surface. If this residue is not removed immediately with a suitable
cleaner, it may react with the glass and if used repeatedly may burn onto and
stain the surface.
4. Cast Iron - Can be used but with caution. With any heavy cookware the bases
should be checked to ensure a smooth surface to avoid scratching. Due to the
large volume weight of cast iron pots, the efficiency of such cookware is lower
than that of stainless or enamelled steel cookware.
5. Glass - Can be used with caution. Check that the base surface is completely
smooth to avoid scratching. Glass ceramic cookware is comparable in its
performance with cast iron due to its low heat conductivity in the cookware
base.
CARE OF THE CERAMIC SURFACE
REMEMBER: Do NOT slide your saucepans across the surface of your
cooktop. Permanent scratching may result.
LIFT THE SAUCEPANS DIRECTLY ON AND OFF. Damage to the perimeter
trim may also occur if this warning is disregarded.
To ensure a long life and ongoing attractiveness of your Scala Ceramic cooktop we
recommend that you use MICA Cooktop Cleaning Cream and the CERAquick Scraper
for cleaning your cooktop.
