Extending the Life of Non-stick coating
Using scan pans? You can extend the life of nonstick coatings by reseasoning them once in awhile. Every few months, take the empty pan and put it on the stove over high heat. After about two to three minutes, put in one or two tablespoons of peanut oil and swirl it around so it coats the inside of the pan. Turn off the heat and let the pan cool to room temperature and then wipe away the excess oil with a paper towel. Repeat the process once more to recondition the coating on your pan.
New Technology For Scanpan
Scan pan cookware is not comparable to traditional non-stick pans. Their Classic "New Tek" offers ceramic-titanium technology, a step above even titanium cookware. The ceramic-titanic combination allows for even heating (no hot spots), superior heat retention and no warping. Like all Scanpan products, the pans are dishwasher safe and can also be easily cleaned using warm soapy water and a brush or sponge.
Even Heat Distribution
Some manufacturers produce pans with impressions designed into the exterior base in order to spread heat more evenly through the pan and prevent warpage. Bottom stamping treatments can reduce warpage slightly and marginally improve heat distribution. However, these additions are minor improvements when compared to a flat base pan of similar thickness. The primary factor in even heat dispersion and preventing warpage is the pan's thickness. Burning hot spots and warpage occur when a pan becomes overheated. Any pan, regardless of bottom impressions, will not distribute heat or reduce warpage as well as a pan with a heavier gauge.
The Convenience of Scanpan Copperware
If you're looking for quality cookware, Scanpan copper cookware offers a great line. Their Fusion CS 5 features Danish design elegance, polished to a mirror finish. What is really superior is the five-ply sandwich construction that provides rapid, even heat distribution and superior heat retention. Extra-thick 3 mm sidewalls give maximum durability. And additional plus is that the pans have capacity markings inside for quick and easy measurements.
Scanpan Basics
Scanpan's line of non-stick cookware includes the most durable non-stick pans available on the market today. Unlike most non-stick pans, Scanpan cookware can handle metal utensils. Their stay-cool handles (and lid) can handle oven temperatures up to 500-degrees Fahrenheit. And if all that isn't impressive enough, even though the pans are already non-stick -- which makes cleaning much easier -- they're even dishwasher safe!
Scanpan: An Eco-friendly Company
Just about to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, Scanpan is the largest Danish manufacturer of aluminum cookware. The company marries Danish design standard with respect for the environment by reducing the amount of energy and raw materials needed in production. This minimizes waste. They're also very vigilant about carrying out regular emission checks. So, if you're looking for an earth-friendly cookware company, Scanpan is the one for you!
The Elements of Great Cookware
Did you ever wonder what goes into making really good cookware? Scanpan Titanium cookware starts with the best tradition in professional cookware: Pressure-cast aluminum. Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat. Scanpan creates a heavy-duty base that is forged into shape under 200 tons of pressure. This eliminates hot spots and to create a perfectly even pan base. Their combination of raw material, pressure casting and thickness of the pan body results in even heat distribution, superior heat retention, and a perfectly flat pan base that will last a lifetime.
Hard Anodized Cookware Tips
Hard anodized nonstick pans should never be put in an automatic dishwasher. These pans can benefit from periodically wiping the nonstick surface with cooking oil. If you have food that is really burnt and stuck to the bottom of my pan, partially fill the pan with a mild solution of vinegar and water and bring to a boil to dislodge food particles.
