Lightweight casserole
Yes, the (cast) aluminium lid is oven safe up to 200°C.
Never immerse a hot lid in cold water as the lid may deform due to thermal shock. Always handle with care when placing a hot lid upside down on the kitchen counter.
When a hot pot or pan cools down, the air inside shrinks and creates a vacuum seal that holds the lid tight.
Reheat the pan: Put the pan back on the burner over low to medium heat for a short time. The warm air inside will expand, and the lid will pop right off.
Use warm water: Run hot water over the lid or submerge the edge in a bowl of hot water to warm the air inside.
Gently tap the edge: Tap the rim or handle carefully with a wooden spoon to vibrate the seal and let air slip inside.
Yes this is normal. The cast aluminium handles are made of the same highly conductive material as the body, making heat transfer to the handles unavoidable. As a result, the handles become extremely hot. Always use the included removable silicone potholders in combination with oven gloves. Keep the flame centered under the casserole when using a gas hob. This helps save energy and prevents the side handles from being heated directly by the flame.
Please check the following instructions:
When cooking on a gas hob, we recommend using a flame circle that is the same size as the bottom of the casserole.
Always use oven gloves and the removable silicone potholders.
Be extra careful when removing the casserole from a hot oven or using it on a gas hob.
The pan holders fit perfectly around the handles of the lighweight casserole and are designed to reduce the perceived temperature of the grip when lifting your casserole. Please note that the pan holders are not intended to remain on the casserole during cooking. Always exercise caution.
The pan holders are made of silicone.
For the best results, clean the pan holders with warm water and a soft washing brush and dry with a kitchen towel. The pan holders can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
No, the pan holders are not meant to use in the oven. They can stand maximum 200°C.
