HybridMesh Stainless Steel Cookware Collection, 8 Inch Frypan, Silver

Is our innovative technology that seamlessly blends the high performance of exposed stainless steel for superior searing power and the convenience of our non-stick coating for easy cleaning.

T-fal’s traditional nonstick coatings provide a smooth surface that prevents food from sticking, allowing you to cook with little to no oil and making cleanup easy. Unlike a traditional nonstick pan, T-fal’s HybridMesh is designed to provide superior searing performance thanks to its exposed stainless-steel pattern, which is why the pan requires preheating and a small amount of oil (like any stainless-steel pan) to prevent food from sticking.

Only frying pans, saucepans or saute pans from the Ingenio range can go in the oven, thanks to their detachable handles (ensure that the detachable handle is removed). Utensils should never be used in a microwave or convection oven.

• You can use certain metal utensils with the exception of knives and whisks (Refer to the recommendations for use indicated on the packaging or in the instructions included with the product).

• Avoid cutting directly in the pans.

• After cooking, do not let pans boil dry and do not leave empty pans on a heated burner.

• Always select the proper electric burner size or adjust the gas burner so the flame only touches the bottom of the pan and does not climb up the sides.

• Never leave pans unattended while cooking.

• Let pans cool before cleaning.

• Wash the frying pan in hot water and washing-up liquid to remove any dust.

• Wash and dry your cookware after each use.

A pan warps under thermal shock (an overheated empty pan, a hot pan in contact with cold water or placed on a cold surface, etc.).

Before cleaning the pan, let it cool to room temperature.

A warped pan will give poor cooking results.

Pans should NEVER be used in a microwave oven.

You should refer to the recommendations for use indicated on the packaging or in the instructions included with the product.

Depending on the range, most metal utensils can be used except knives, forks and whisks. However, care should be exercised when using any metal utensil. Avoid using sharp edged utensils and avoid cutting directly in the pan.

However, to extend the life of your frying pans and saucepans, we strongly recommend that you do not use metal. Choose plastic or wood.

HybridMesh:

For the best performance, start by preheating your HybridMesh pan on medium-low heat. Once preheated, add a small amount of oil and let it warm up. Your pan is now ready to sear!

This discolouration is a normal reaction with stainless steel and heat. It is very simple and easy to clean. Either use stainless steel/copper cleaner, or just pour a little lemon juice or vinegar into the pan and wipe it clean with a paper towel or cloth.

Made of thick stainless steel, the handles conduct heat very slowly. However, side handles can get hot faster than long handles as they are close to the pan's body. Therefore, always make sure the element you're cooking on does not exceed the size of the pan. The time spent over the heat source and the temperature setting also determines how long the handles will remain cool to the touch. Stainless steel handles attached to lids will heat up faster than side handles. For oven use, all handles will definitely get hot. It is recommended to use oven gloves when handling hot handles to avoid burning your hands.

Yes. To avoid the formation of small white dots or pits, bring liquids to a boil before adding salt, then stir well. Or, add salt after food has started to cook. Pitting does not interfere with cooking performance but can diminish the beauty of the stainless steel.

This white film is caused by minerals in the water or from the starch released by certain foods during the cooking process. Either use stainless steel/copper cleaner or just pour a little lemon juice or vinegar into the pan and wipe it clean with a paper towel or cloth.

It is possible to get scratches on the stainless steel cookware especially when using metal utensils. However scratches do not affect the performance of the cookware. We suggest using wooden or plastic utensils when cooking. We recommend not using a potato masher directly into the cookware. Add salt to water only after it has come to a boil. When salt grains are deposited on steel when cold, they will attack the steel as the heat causes them to melt. We also suggest cleaning them with a stainless steel/copper cleaner at least once a month to keep your cookware looking brilliantly shiny.

HybridMesh:

To keep the good performance of your HybridMesh pans, we recommend the next steps: First allow the pan to cool prior to cleaning. Rinse off any excess food with warm water and then wash with a soft sponge or a dish cloth.

Dishwasher compatibility:

To extend the life of your product, we recommend hand washing only. In case of dishwasher use, it is preferable to use gentle detergents such as liquid, gel, or powder, not tablet nor sachet. Certains parts may become dulled and discolored due to action of corrosive detergents. Our warranty does not cover this type of wear.

To remove burned food stains from stainless steel cookware, place cold water in the utensil and bring the water to a boil. Allow the water to cool before washing. A good cleaner may be used to complete the cleaning. The use of steel wool, a steel brush or scratchy cleaner on the polished surface is not recommended.

Handles and knobs may loosen after a time due to the continual heating and cooling of the fixing. If this occurs, carefully re-tighten using an appropriate screwdriver, but do not over-tighten.

•The pan has been used on too high a heat or the wrong source of heat for the pan which has resulted in the pan base becoming warped and distorted.

•Also never put cold water into a hot pan or plunge hot cookware in cold water. Sudden changes of temperature may cause the metal to warp, resulting in an uneven base.

Take care when placing pans on gas hobs as the number of support legs vary and small pans in particular may need a trivet, which most gas hob manufacturers will supply with their hob or can be bought from the separately.

The quick way to check whether your pans work on an induction hob is to do the magnet test on the pans. This is easy, if a magnet will stick to the base of the pans they will work on a commercial induction hob.
