Operating Instructions

Heat Source Compatibility

The Silit Diamond Starter Set is compatible with all common heat sources, including:

• Gas stoves
• Electric stoves (radiant, ceramic)
• Halogen stoves
• Induction cooktops

The Silitherm universal base ensures efficient heat distribution on all stove types.

Cooking Tips

• Heat Management: Use medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling water or searing, and only for short periods to prevent overheating and potential damage to the cookware or food.
• Lids: Use the included lids to retain heat and moisture, which can reduce cooking time and energy consumption.
• Utensils: While stainless steel is durable, avoid using sharp metal utensils that could scratch the surface. Silicone, wood, or plastic utensils are recommended.
• Oven Use: The cookware is oven safe. Ensure handles and lids (if applicable) are suitable for the oven temperature.

Care and Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

• After each use, allow the cookware to cool down before cleaning.
• Wash with warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth.
• For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm soapy water before cleaning.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.

Dishwasher Safety

All components of the Silit Diamond Starter Set are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended for best results and to maintain the luster of the stainless steel over time.

Removing Stains

• Water Spots: To remove water spots, wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with vinegar or lemon juice, then rinse and dry.
• Discoloration: High heat can sometimes cause blue or rainbow-like discoloration. This is harmless and can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water.

Storage

Store cookware in a dry place. To prevent scratches when stacking, place a cloth or paper towel between pieces.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Food Sticking

Issue: Food sticks to the bottom of the pan.

Solution: Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food. Use a sufficient amount of cooking oil or fat. Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the temperature and cause sticking.

Discoloration

Issue: Blue or rainbow-like stains appear on the stainless steel.

Solution: This is often caused by mineral deposits from water or high heat. It is not harmful and can be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water.

Uneven Heating

Issue: Food cooks unevenly.

Solution: Ensure the cookware base is flat and makes full contact with the heat source. On induction cooktops, ensure the burner size matches the base of the pan.
