Care
Using UNDo daily or occasionally without fear, the next time won't be/feel like the first time requires just the good amount of care that any professional or enthusiast cook knows goes into making sure their favorite tools will last a lifetime.
Using the Pan
I. Preheat Gently
- Heat slowly over low to medium heat. Copper heats very quickly, making high heat unnecessary
- Avoid preheating the pan while empty. Turn off the heat or turn the heat down to the minimum
II. Add Fat Before Cooking
- Use butter, oil, or another fat after preheating briefly. This protects the silver and prevents sticking
III. Cooking Tools
- Use wood, silicone, or plastic utensils like PEEK, PTFE, PPS, and PP
- Avoid metal tools; they can scratch the silver lining
IV. Avoid Acidic Foods for Long Cooking
- Silver is non-reactive, but to preserve its integrity, avoid simmering acidic foods (like tomato sauces) forhours
Cleaning After Use
V. Cool Before Washing
- Let the pan cool down completely before washing to avoid warping
VI. Hand Wash Only
- Use warm water with mild soap and a soft sponge
- Never put it in the dishwasher
VII. No Abrasives on the Silver
- Do not use steel wool or harsh scrubbers on the inside
Maintaining the Copper
VIII. Polish Regularly
- Copper tarnishes over time. Use professional copper polish or a homemade mix (lemon juice and salt orvinegar and salt) to restore shine
- Avoid copper polish contact with the silver interior
IX. Dry Thoroughly
