Stainless Steel cooking surface

(SK6410 model only)

The Sunbeam stainless steel cooking surface is manufactured from high quality stainless steel. Stainless steel is hygienic, easy to care for and extremely durable. To keep your stainless steel cooking surface looking good and to achieve the best results, follow these simple instructions:

Before the first use: “Season” the cooking surface by heating the skillet on setting 3 for 2 minutes then applying a thin coat of cooking oil and rub in with paper towelling. This will also be necessary after cleaning in a dishwasher.

Use sufficient oil when sauteeing, pan frying and roasting to prevent food sticking. Two to three tablespoons is generally sufficient.

Food such as steaks, rissoles and roasts will stick if turned before completely browned and sealed.

Note: To prevent food from sticking, maintain low temperatures, ensure sufficient juices are in the frypan and season the frypan before and after each use. This will decrease as the frypan receives continual use.

Do not use metal utensils. Continued use of knives, forks or spoons will eventually start to mark the stainless steel cooking surface. We recommend the use of plastic or wooden utensils.

To clean after each use: Wash in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To remove cooked-on food, fill the pan with hot water and allow to stand for a few minutes. This will soften the food, making cleaning easier.

Note: Never fill a hot frypan with cold water.

Do not use abrasives or scourers. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as continued use will scratch the highly polished surface and make subsequent cleaning more difficult.

Removing burnt-on food. Fill the pan with 20mm (1”) water, cover and simmer for five minutes or until the burnt-on food softens and lifts. For stubborn burnt-on food, leave the skillet to soak overnight, after first simmering as described. Then wash and dry thoroughly.

Removing stubborn stains. These can be removed by using any brand of stainless steel powder cleaner can be used on stubborn stains on the cooking surface only.

Rubbing a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water into the stained area is also helpful in removing stains. Wash thoroughly.

Note: Re-Season the cooking surface after using any of the above methods to remove stains.

Dishwasher-safe.Your stainless steel skillet is completely dishwasher-safe. The heating element is totally sealed so it is safe to fully immerse in water.
