Vegetable

Water is not required; if you cook only a few vegetable (up to half of the roasting casseroles) add three spoonfuls of water. It’s important to put the vegetable in a Cold roaster pan otherwise this will stain your pan. During cooking always leave the lid on.

Rice and noodles

Cook with water as described in your package instructions. Note that the time of cooking will be reduced.

Meat

Cook without fat, use a lid to preserve the jus of the meat.

Fish

No fat or flour needed, use a lid to avoid drying.

➢ Keep in mind the cooking time is reduced with the Gastrolux cookware as it keeps heat and the food continues cooking after it is removed from the heat sources. Check for doneness before the necessary time of your preferred recipes.

➢ Clean your Gastrolux while it’s still hot by adding cold water and soap. Use a rough plastic scrubber such as the 3M Scotch pad for washing the cookware.

➢ The warranty for the handle is 20 years and can go in the oven up to 500F (260 C).

➢ Heat will be uniform even if you use the largest frying pan on the smallest element of your stove.

➢ If you use a gas stove, make sure the flames do not over lap the sides of the pan because this could damage your handle.

➢ Gastrolux cookware can be used with or without Fat or oil. If you want to use oil for the taste, ensure you use one that can be heated at high temperature such as Gastrolux Vital rapeseed oil with a slight taste of butter (available in our authorized dealers, canola, avocado oil Important Note : olive oil should never be heated at more than medium heat.
