How to maintain your Colorama cookware?

Colorama cookware sets with non-stick ceramic coating are a valuable asset in any kitchen. Thanks to their aluminium design, they ensure even heat distribution for optimal cooking. Their non-stick coating prevents food from sticking and makes cleaning much easier. In addition, with the welded wood-effect bakelite handle for the classic range, they are dishwasher safe. Here are some tips for maintaining your utensils and extending their lifespan.

Preliminary interview

Before first use

Before you start cooking with your new cookware, it's important to prepare it properly. Here are the key steps:

Wash thoroughly

Clean each utensil with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to remove any manufacturing residue.

Complete drying

Dry immediately with a soft cloth to avoid any water marks or mineral deposits.

Light oiling (optional)

Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the non-stick surface to improve its performance during the first few uses.

Use on the right fire

Make sure to use the utensil on a burner/ring of the same diameter as the utensil to avoid overheating and hot spots, which can damage the utensil.

Optimal cooking

During use

To ensure optimal cooking and preserve the non-stick coating, it is essential to adopt good practices:

Use suitable utensils

Use wooden, silicone, or plastic spatulas to avoid scratching the ceramic coating. Avoid using metal utensils to avoid scratching the coating!

Heat gradually

Avoid starting over high heat as excessive heat can damage the coating. Do not leave food in the cookware after cooking, especially acidic food!

Cook over low to moderate heat

Since ceramic coatings conduct heat, we recommend not heating at extremely high temperatures! We recommend reducing the heating power by half compared to your old utensils.

Do not overheat when empty

Never leave an empty pan or saucepan on a heat source, as this can damage the coating. Avoid cooking sprays and always use a high smoke point oil to avoid burns.

Post-cooking maintenance

Cleaning utensils

Proper maintenance after each use is essential to extend the life of your Colorama cookware. Here are some best practices:

Gentle and quick cleaning

Hand wash your utensils with a non-abrasive sponge and warm, soapy water. Although some models may be dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the coating.

Avoid thermal shocks

After use, allow your utensil to cool. Never immerse a hot utensil in cold water, as this may cause cracks or warping.

Use baking soda if necessary

To remove stubborn stains, make a paste with baking soda and water, apply to the affected area and let it sit before rubbing gently.

Immediate drying

Once clean, immediately dry your utensil with a soft cloth to prevent limescale deposits and prolong the shine of the coating.

For storage

Between two uses

Storing your cookware also impacts its longevity. Here are some tips to prevent premature wear and tear:

Use protection between utensils

If you stack your pots and pans, place a soft cloth or felt divider between them to prevent scratches.

Avoid overloading

Store your utensils in a dry, ventilated place to avoid humidity, which can damage certain metal parts.

Hang pans if possible

If you have adequate storage space, hanging your pans helps avoid direct contact with other utensils.

Store at room temperature

Avoid storing them in a place that is too hot or humid, as this can affect the durability of the materials.
