Non-stick utensils are specially designed so that food does not stick. However, the frying pan or saucepan has to be properly maintained. For that purpose, please observe the following tips: slightly oil the frying pan/saucepan before first use and then wash and dry it, repeat the process from time to time if you wash the frying pan/saucepan regularly in the dishwasher.

Some parts are dishwasher-safe and other parts aren't. If it is dishwasher-safe, please use a neutral detergent when cleaning. Some dishwashers may not be compatible with pots/frying pans so please check the instruction manual of your dishwasher before use.

It is difficult to give a number of years, because service life will differ depending on the conditions of usage and frequency of use. To help to extend the service life of the non-stick, you should protect it from unnecessarily high temperatures and refrain from heating a pan empty. A medium to low heat is sufficient. If you try using a constant high heat when cooking with a wok, damage will occur rapidly.

No. Cookware items with Tefal non-stick coating do not contain PFOA. This is regularly checked by independent laboratories, which verify the absence of PFOA in the finished.
