Vclad cookware is crafted from a premium three-layer composite material. The inner layer is made of high-quality 316 stainless steel, specially treated to enhance surface hardness and non-stick performance. The middle layer consists of pure aluminum, ensuring faster, more even heat distribution while being eco-friendly and energy-efficient. The outer layer is superconducting magnetic stainless steel, compatible with all types of stovetops. It is easy to clean and maintains its pristine appearance over time. It is naturally not easy to stick, Vclad cookware is safe to use with steel spatulas, offering a durable and healthy cooking experience. Its composite design provides fast and even heat transfer, is anti-corrosive, rust-resistant, hygienic, eco-friendly, energy-saving, and easy to clean.

The Vclad pan features a sleek, elegant design with graceful curves and a robust structure, formed under high pressure for lasting durability. This versatile pan is perfect for frying, deep-frying, steaming, boiling, and stewing, making it an all-around helper in your kitchen.

Thanks to its efficient heat conduction, Vclad cookware allows you to cook with medium or low heat, preserving the food’s natural color, flavor, and nutrients. It minimizes cooking time, reduces smoke, and keeps your kitchen fresh and grease-free while ensuring healthier meals.

Cleaning Instructions

● Allow the cookware to cool naturally after each use. Clean it using a sponge with a small amount of detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a towel.
● Ensure the cookware is thoroughly cleaned after every use to prevent residue buildup, which could cause stains during the next use.
● For stubborn burnt stains, add hot water to the cookware and let it sit until the residue softens. Use a stainless steel cleaner to remove the stains, then rinse with water and dry.
● A white film may occasionally appear on the cookware surface due to minerals in water or starch from food. To remove it, wipe the surface with a towel dipped in lemon juice or white vinegar. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry.
● For optimal maintenance, periodically use a stainless steel cleaner to polish the cookware. This will help maintain its brilliance and keep it looking as good as new.

Cleaning Precautions

● Avoid using corrosive cleaning agents, scouring powders, or abrasive brushes, as these can scratch the surface or cause discoloration.
● Always ensure the cookware is completely dry before storing. If stacking with other kitchenware, place a cloth or paper between items to prevent scratches.

Precautions for Use

Please read this instruction manual carefully before use.

Ensure the water level does not exceed two-thirds of the cookware’s capacity after adding food and water to prevent overflow during boiling.

How to prevent discoloration (yellowing or blackening) of the cookware?

Wipe off any moisture or oil from the interior and exterior surfaces before use.
Use medium or low heat, ensuring the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
After cooking, clean the inner walls thoroughly and dry them to maintain their appearance.

Safety Tips When Frying:

Never leave hot oil unattended. Always use a lid to prevent oil splashes, and monitor the process closely.
Do not exceed one-third of the cookware’s capacity with cooking oil to avoid overflow when adding food. This ensures safety while preserving the food’s natural flavor.
Avoid using high heat to prevent overheating and discoloration of stainless steel cookware.

Never pour cold water into hot cookware, as sudden temperature changes can cause deformation or result in burns from hot oil, water, or steam.

Never heat cookware while empty.

Q&A

How can stains be prevented, and how should existing stains be handled?
Stains typically result from:

Prolonged high-heat use: These stains are irreversible but do not affect the pan’s non-stick performance.
Residual food or grease: These can be cleaned with hot water and detergent, or even a small amount of toothpaste, using a soft sponge for thorough cleaning.

Why is medium or low heat recommended for non-stick pans?
Medium heat provides optimal cooking performance, reducing energy waste without sacrificing efficiency. High heat doesn’t speed up cooking and should only be used when the pan contains food. Avoid dry-cooking non-stick pans over high heat.

Why are stainless steel pots attracted by magnets?

Our stainless steel cookware is made of 3 layers of steel composite die-casting. The inside of the pot is 316/304 stainless steel, which is weakly magnetic or non-magnetic. The outermost layer, which is the bottom of the pot, is 430 magnetic stainless steel, which is weakly magnetic and can be attracted by a magnet. Because the cookware used on the induction cooker must be magnetic, otherwise the induction cooker cannot sense it, you can use it with confidence.

Why can stainless steel pots be attracted by magnets?
Our stainless steel cookware features a tri-ply composite structure:
The inner layer is 316 stainless steel, which is weakly magnetic or non-magnetic.
The outermost layer, at the pot’s base, is magnetic stainless steel, designed to work with induction cooktops. This magnetic layer ensures compatibility while maintaining quality and performance. You can use it with confidence.

Why Does Stainless Steel Cookware Turn Yellow or Black?

Discoloration of stainless steel cookware, such as yellowing or blackening, can result from:

Blackening:
This typically occurs due to high heat or inadequate cleaning. Stainless steel pots are known for excellent thermal conductivity and heat retention. Even after turning off the heat, the pot retains warmth for an extended period. To prevent blackening:

Always use medium or low heat instead of high heat to avoid burning food upon contact.
Refrain from dry-heating the pot for prolonged periods.
Clean the pot promptly after use to remove residues.
Yellowing:
Yellowing results from the natural oxidation of stainless steel metal. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the pot’s performance or safety. To restore its appearance, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner or toothpaste to remove the discoloration effectively.

What is the Non-Stick Technology Behind Vclad Cookware?

Our cookware features advanced 5D laser technology to create a hexagonal-patterned surface. This technology forms a durable protective layer inside the pot, with each hexagonal groove acting as an air cushion to achieve a physical non-stick effect. The result is a surface that combines the strength of metal with the convenience of non-stick functionality.

Key benefits include:

Resistance to scratches and abrasions, even when using metal utensils.
A permanently non-stick surface, thanks to its physical properties rather than full non stick coatings.
With this cutting-edge design, you can stir-fry confidently, knowing your cookware is built to last while providing superior performance.
