Cooking & Care
How should I clean my Vachen cookware?
Allow cookware to cool before cleaning. For best results, we recommend:
- Using a soft sponge or cloth
- Using mild dish detergent
- Avoiding steel wool and abrasive cleaning pads
- Avoiding harsh or abrasive cleaners
- Thoroughly drying cookware after cleaning
Can I use metal utensils?
To help preserve the cookware surface and coating, we recommend using silicone, wooden, or other non-abrasive cooking utensils.
Should I use high heat?
For most cooking, low to medium heat is recommended. Excessive heat may reduce the life of nonstick cookware and may cause discoloration or damage.
Can Vachen cookware go in the dishwasher?
Please refer to the care instructions for your specific model. Even when dishwasher compatible, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent may help preserve the appearance and coating for longer.
Can I put hot cookware directly on my table?
We recommend using an appropriate trivet or heat-resistant surface underneath hot cookware. Do not place hot cookware directly on surfaces that may be damaged by heat.
