Frequently asked questions<\/h2><\/div>[vc_toggle title=”Is non-stick coating safe?”]Yes!<\/strong> The wave of emotion caused by false reports by some media has risked giving non-stick cookware a bad name. This news has no scientific value. To clarify the matter and protect the quality and safety of non-stick products, the leading Italian manufacturers of non-stick cookware have decided to pass the ball to scientists, to obtain a neutral and definitive opinion.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Gas or induction?”]The main difference between gas and induction lies in the speed and temperature maintenance. While gas hobs allow more precise heat management, induction hobs heat up much faster and minimise heat transfer errors and energy loss.
\nThe uniformity of heat does not depend on the hob but on the tool you use, which is why pans such as full-bottomed (braze welding HEAT\u00ae technology) are extremely useful for getting the best results from your induction hob.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Induction: dotted bottom or solid bottom?”]To preserve your induction hob, you need quality cooking utensils that save energy and do not waste heat.
\nYou will often find dotted-bottom pans on the market. Did you know that this type of product derives from a reduction in the materials used during manufacture and does not guarantee quality performance and even cooking?
\nRisol\u00ec induction cookware is equipped with a solid bottom (braze-welded HEAT\u00ae technology), which guarantees high performance, allowing you to make the most of your kitchen and create exceptional dishes.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Is PFOA present in non-stick coatings?”]No!<\/strong> Some media have confused PFOA with PTFE or Teflon\u00ae, the substance that is used to give utensils their non-stick properties. PFOA appears to be absent in non-stick coatings. The EPA itself has never questioned the safety of non-stick utensils, which, on the contrary, can be used with confidence.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Is the safety of PTFE or TEFLON\u00ae certified?”]Yes!<\/strong> As proof of its chemical inertia and therefore its safety, it should be noted that the fluoropolymer used in non-stick coatings is also used in surgery to coat cardiac stimulators, as well as in thoracic surgery. European regulatory agencies such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the French Food Safety Agency (AFSSA) and US agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have confirmed that non-stick coatings made from fluoropolymers are safe for their intended use in the kitchen. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reiterated that particles of non-stick material, even if accidentally ingested, do not pose a health risk. Thanks to their chemical inertia they do not undergo any transformation but pass unaltered through the body, like dietary fibre, and are thus harmless to our body.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Does the use of scratched pans pose health risks?”]No!<\/strong> Due to its chemical inertness and thus its safety, it is pointed out that the fluoropolymer used in non-stick coatings is also used in surgery to coat pacemakers and also in thoracic surgery. The use of scratched cookware poses no health risk to the consumer but, if anything, the utensil should be replaced simply because it ceases to perform its specific function of being non-stick when a significant part of the coating is missing.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Who carried out the study on the health and environmental safety of non-stick cookware?”]The experts who assessed the health and environmental safety of non-stick cookware are:<\/p>\n

Prof. FRANCO BATTAGLIA<\/strong>
\nProfessor of Environmental Chemistry University of Modena<\/p>\n

Prof. GIANNI FOCHI<\/strong>
\nProfessor of Chemistry Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Are there any rules for the correct use of non-stick coated cooking utensils?”]Risol\u00ec offers 6 practical tips for the correct use of non-stick coated utensils:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Before using the pan for the first time, wash it with lukewarm water and dishwashing liquid. Dry it and spread a thin film of oil on the bottom, repeating this every so often.<\/li>\n
  2. Do not cut food inside the utensil. It is advisable not to use sharp metal utensils, preferring to use kitchen utensils made of wood, plastic or silicone. Store the utensil carefully to preserve the non-stick coating.<\/li>\n
  3. Non-stick utensils are easily washed using liquid detergent and a simple sponge. Avoid using abrasive utensils such as scouring pads or wire brushes.<\/li>\n
  4. Never heat the empty pan, use a heat source that matches the size of the bottom of the utensil; centre the utensil on the heat source, a moderate flame is always sufficient. Never char fatty food.<\/li>\n
  5. Let the utensil cool down before cleaning it: temperature changes can deform the bottom.<\/li>\n
  6. When pans are extensively scratched in any case, our advice is to replace them, as they are no longer able to guarantee non-stickness during cooking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    [\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is meant by ‘normal’ domestic use?”]Pans with non-stick coatings from DuPont can be heated to temperatures of up to 260 \u00b0C without damaging the coating. This temperature is far higher than that required for boiling, frying and baking.<\/p>\n

    For example:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Water boils at 100 \u00b0C.<\/li>\n
    • Normal temperatures used for browning meat range from 204 \u00b0C to 243 \u00b0C.<\/li>\n
    • In the oven, the highest temperatures used for cooking poultry or vegetables are around 232 \u00b0C. Cakes and biscuits are usually baked at temperatures between 162 \u00b0C and 204 \u00b0C.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      [\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How to avoid overheating non-stick pans?”]It is best to heat non-stick pans at a medium or low temperature. Higher temperatures (above 206 \u00b0C) may be reached during cooking, but the food will tend to burn and generate smoke, making it inedible. Even higher temperatures (above 316 \u00b0C) can be reached in a few minutes if a dry or empty pan is left on the stove or in the oven. Non-stick pots and pans should never be left on the stove empty and unattended.[\/vc_toggle][vc_btn title=”Download brochure” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ shape=”square” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.risoli.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F05%2Fbrochure-non-stick-en.pdf|target:_blank” el_class=”btngrigio” css=”.vc_custom_1684856913470{margin-right: 10px !important;}”][vc_btn title=”Download full report” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ shape=”square” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.risoli.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F01%2Frelazione-antiaderente.pdf|target:_blank” el_class=”btngrigio”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”no1036″][vc_single_image image=”4803″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1673951055769{margin-bottom: 2% !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”no1036″][vc_single_image image=”4805″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”boxmezzo-margin10 elencofaq”]

      Use and maintenance: 10 golden rules<\/h2><\/div>[vc_toggle title=”1. First use”]When using for the first time, rinse with hot water and liquid detergent and dry thoroughly; then grease the bottom with a little oil or butter.<\/p>\n

      For best cooking results cook only at MEDIUM OR LOW FLAME. Overheating the product at temperatures above 200-240\u00b0C (depending on the line) can damage the non-stick coating. NEVER heat the product empty.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”2. Food preservation”]The product should only be used for cooking NOT for storing food, as food that is aggressive in the long term can damage the non-stick coating.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”3. Utensils”]<\/p>\n

      \n
      \n

      Use ONLY WOODEN or SYNTHETIC utensils for cooking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”4. Ideal cleaning”]After use, allow to cool and wipe off with warm water and dry thoroughly.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”5. Using the dishwasher”]We do not recommend the use of a dishwasher; some aggressive detergents can damage the product. Use Green Clean detergent for longer tool life.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”6. Colour variations”]Slight colour variations of the inner or outer coating do not alter the functionality of the product.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”7. Handles and knobs”]Bakelite handles and knobs withstand heat at MAX temperatures of 180-240\u00b0C.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”8. Use in the oven”]Pots and pans without plastic parts are also suitable for the oven.
      \nThe use of a protection (pot holders) is necessary to ensure safe handling of the article.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”9. Cooking hobs”]Risol\u00ec products can be used on gas, electric hotplates, glass-ceramic hotplates and ovens; Risol\u00ec has a special line suitable ALSO FOR INDUCTION.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”10.
