Also, vinegar can be very helpful because when you diluted it with water, it becomes a solution that works perfectly when removing glue residue.

Please follow the use and care instructions on the packaging to season your wok properly.

It’s totally normal for the heat to cut off and on to maintain an even temperature and to protect the product from extreme temperatures. Always remember that if the electric outlet used has other appliances connected to it, the electric burner may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical outlet from the other appliances.

The aluminum material goes through a die casting process which is how the caldero is made.

20. Why is my aluminum pot staining?

This is normal wear and tear on any natural aluminum cookware because of its raw aluminum construction and the natural properties of water. We do recommend hand washing only, depending on soft and hard water (nutrients in water) discoloration can appear. Also, keep in mind that uncoated aluminum will develop black stains from contact with acid foods like tomato products and most types of fruits. With long cooking times, or if allowed to stand in bare aluminum pots, acidic foods can eat away the surface of the soft aluminum.

21. Why did my cookware warp/deformed?

Extreme temperature changes can warp your pan so don’t put hot pans in the sink with cold water. We recommend that the cookware is never left without any food or liquid while on the stove.
