FAQs

How do you know when a Tefal pan is hot enough? ›

Before heating, the Thermo-Spot® pattern is clearly visible. As the pan heats up, the colour begins to change. Once it reaches the ideal temperature, the Thermo-Spot® pattern turns solid red ensuring you a uniform and ideal temperature to cook all your meals.

Bakelite is used as a material on many of Tefal's ranges because of its hard wearing qualities. Essential features ergonomic handles for comfortable grip and easy handling without the risk of burning hands. On the Essential set all items are oven safe up to 175 degrees Celsius, Gas 4, 350 Fahrenheit for up to 1 hour.

Pans are oven safe up to 260°C (500F°). Take care to remove handle and lids. To preserve the non-stick coating: in order to avoid overheating your empty pan, follow the Thermo-Spot® heat indicator instructions: The spot turns solid red when the pan is perfectly preheated (approxmately 190°C) and ready to cook.

If handles and knobs are made of stainless steel, they are oven safe up to 482°F/250°C/Gas Mark 9. If handles and knobs are made of stainless steel with some silicone insert or wrap, they are oven safe up to 400°F/210°C/Gas mark 6 for a maximum of one hour at a time.

Peeling, Flaking, and Chipping

A non stick coating that's peeling, chipped, flaking, or otherwise damaged is a sure sign that your pan should be replaced. Once the pan's coating starts to come off, it will only continue to do so, contributing to the loss of its non stick quality.

Do not use nonstick cookware and bakeware in ovens hotter than 260 °C (500 °F). Higher temperatures can discolor the surface of coating or cause it to lose some of its nonstick properties. Use your stove's exhaust fan when cooking. Use a stove burner that matches the size of the pan bottom.

Non-stick cookware:

However, the pan or pot has to be properly maintained. For that purpose, please observe the following tips: slightly oil the pan before first use and then wash and dry it, repeat the process from time to time if you wash the pan regularly in the dishwasher.

Tefal Cookware items cannot be used in a microwave. Use only low to medium heat with your cookware at all times (including boiling water). Low to medium heat offers the best cooking performance. High heat may damage your cookware and this type of damage is not covered under the guarantee.

A good rule of thumb is to replace them approximately every five years. Look at your pans frequently. When they start to appear warped, discolored or scratched, be sure to stop using them.

Thermo-spot® features a heat indicator that helps you cook those perfect meals safely for your loved ones. How does it work? It's simple. Inside your pan, you have an indicator that turns red once the ideal cooking temperature is reached.

Why is my Tefal frying pan sticking? ›

Perhaps the simplest reason that some non stick pans start to stick is that there's a layer of stuck-on food residue getting in the way. Even the thinnest layer of dried egg white or residual starch from stir-frying potstickers can cause food to stick. A simple rinse and scrub should get your pan back to good as new.

Frying pans feature Tefal's iconic Thermo-Spot technology that indicates when your pan has reached the optimum cooking temperature. The saucepans have pouring spouts and straining glass lids. Durable and scratch resistant Pro Metal Pro non-stick coating which is metal utensil safe (frypans only).

Because perfect searing is all about ideal temperature, the Thermo-Spot® indicator turns red when it's time to start cooking. This is the T-fal guarantee for successful cooking everytime - crispy outside, tender inside!

Do not use nonstick cookware and bakeware in ovens hotter than 260 °C (500 °F). Higher temperatures can discolor the surface of coating or cause it to lose some of its nonstick properties.
