Heat Control
Always use a hob burner that matches the diameter of the casserole's base. Start cooking on medium heat and adjust as needed. The extra-strong energy-saving base ensures even and long-lasting heat retention, allowing for precise cooking and energy savings.
Using the Glass Lid
The transparent glass lid allows you to monitor the cooking process without lifting the lid, preserving heat and moisture. The lid is heat-resistant up to 180°C (356°F).

Oven Use
The casserole is oven-safe up to 250°C (482°F) without the lid. When using the lid, the maximum oven temperature is 180°C (356°F). Always use oven mitts when handling hot cookware.

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
The Silit Modesto Line casserole is dishwasher safe. However, for optimal longevity and to maintain its appearance, hand washing is recommended. Use warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the Silargan surface.
For stubborn food residues, soak the casserole in warm soapy water before cleaning. The nickel-free surface is easy to clean and resistant to scratches.

Storage
Store the casserole in a dry place. If stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between the casserole and other cookware to prevent scratches.
Troubleshooting
Food Sticking
While Silargan is highly resistant, food can stick if the heat is too high or if insufficient oil/liquid is used. Ensure you preheat the casserole properly and use appropriate cooking fats. Avoid overheating an empty pot.
Discoloration
Minor discoloration may occur over time due to mineral deposits from water or certain foods. This is normal and does not affect the performance or safety of the cookware. It can often be removed with a mixture of water and vinegar or a specialized cookware cleaner.
