We suggest not leaving food in the cookware either before or after cooking, but to transfer into a container before storing it in the fridge.

Yes. Cooking at excessively high temperature may burn food, causing stains and deforming the pan. Furthermore, excessive overheating may affect its non-stick properties. A medium temperature is more than enough to cook, because aluminium is a very good heat conductor. Lagostina cookware may be used up to 260 °C without suffering any damage, i.e. well beyond the temperature required to cook or fry. Using the cookware in normal cooking conditions therefore does not entail any risks or problems. The pans might only be damaged if they are heated at very high temperatures when empty.

We typically recommend using wooden or nylon utensils maintain the overall beauty of your cookware over time. Metal utensils are safe to use on our stainless steel cookware. Note that it is possible to get scratches on stainless steel with the use of metal utensils, but it not affect the performance of the cookware. To maintain the beauty of the stainless steel interior, we recommend using nylon or wooden utensils. Do not use metal utensils on non-stick cookware as this will scratch the non-stick surface. Scratches in the non-stick coating exposes food to contact with the underlying metal and the food will start to stick to the metal. Do not use whisks, knives, and other utensils with sharp edges to cut, chop or whip foods on the cooking surface. Such use can damage the cooking surface and void your lifetime warranty.

The cookware must NEVER be placed in the microwave oven.

Most Lagostina cookware can be washed in the dishwasher. However, it is recommended that some ranges with copper finish, ceramic exteriors and or interiors be hand washed to prolong the life and appearance. Dishwasher detergent may dull the cookware's outer coating over time, without affecting its non-stick properties or other performance features. Check the graphics symbols on the product package or product page on Lagostina.ca to find out if a specific product is dishwasher safe.

The quickest way to check whether your cookware is suitable to be used on induction hot plates is to perform the magnet test on the pan. It is extremely simple: if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, it is going to work on an induction hot plate!

Lagostina flatware is 18/10 stainless steel. This composition of chromium and nickel has been established to be the best quality to provide high polish finish and resistance to rust and stains.

Some foods that are high in acidity (such as citrus fruits, juices, tomatoes, etc.) should not be cooked until the cookware is highly seasoned. The high acidity of these foods can remove the seasoning and can result in discolouration of the cookware and food that can have a metallic taste. Do not cook these types of foods until the cast iron is better seasoned.

If food eventually begins to stick to the interior surface of your pre-seasoned cookware or if rust appears, re-seasoning is required. Please follow these instructions.

a) Clean the pan thoroughly in hot, soapy water, then dry thoroughly.
b) Apply a thin, even coating of melted solid vegetable shortening (or cooking oil of your choice, such as linseed or canola oil) onto both the interior and the exterior surfaces of the pan.
c) Place the pan on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and place in the oven at 149°C or 300°F.
d) Remove the baking sheet from the oven after 15 minutes and discard excess grease. Return pan to the oven for one hour.
e) Let the pan cool completely before removing from the oven. Do not wash and store in a dry place, on paper towels to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
