This manual will guide you in making the most of your new Gastrolux® EVO pots and pans.
Our cookware is designed to support your culinary journey, whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro in the kitchen.
Carefully remove your Gastrolux® Cookware from its packaging.
Remove any rim protections and any transparent film from the bottom of the pan.
The casting and manufacturing process ensures each piece has its own unique DNA and characteristics, making every item one of a kind.
Before using your cookware for the first time, we recommend washing it with warm soapy water
and a brush or sponge to remove any dust or residues from the manufacturing process.
With Gastrolux® EVO PFAS-Free cookware (free of “forever plastics”), you’ve chosen the tool of the future and made an investment in sustainability. This innovative technology offers numerous advantages over products with PTFE. It’s more resistant to high temperatures, scratches, and abrasion. The product’s appearance stays pristine for longer, and its non-stick quality is superior during the first 12 to 24 months.
On the other hand, Gastrolux® Biotan®+ cookware with PFAS is more sensitive to scratches and less tolerant of high temperatures. However, its non-stick performance excels between 24 and 48 months.
After four years, the performance of both products will become similar, but the EVO version will maintain a significantly better appearance and, when properly recycled, will not charge the environment with forever plastics.
With this new line, we offer everyone the opportunity to work with next-generation cookware that already meets the standards of tomorrow. All proudly crafted in the heart of Europe. We aim to inspire a love for cooking in our customers through consistent innovation, offering a trusted and efficient product. Our cookware promotes healthy cooking, enhances flavors, and makes everyday use easier for both home cooks and professionals.
Our EVO Cooking surface is free from PFAS (forever chemicals). With its added biominerals, our eco-friendly cooking surface technology provides long-lasting efficiency.
The 8mm thick Thermophore bottom is thermo-shock resistant and will never warp. The Thermophore bottom and side walls provide optimal heat distribution and heat retention. This ensures even cooking across the entire pan and enhances energy efficiency.
Gastrolux® products are compatible with all stove types, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops
The fixed handle, double-sided handles on pots, and lid knobs remain cool, and all are ovenproof up to 260°C. Detachable handles should be removed when using the cookware in the oven. The ergonomic design provides a secure and comfortable grip during cooking.
If your Gastrolux® product features a detachable handle, ensure that you remove the handle before placing the pan in the oven. When removing the pan from the oven, reattach the cool handle for safe handling.
Our Counterhandle is very useful for lifting your pan with two hands when it is heavy. Always use an oven mitt or potholder to protect your hand from heat when holding the counterhandle.
Each Gastrolux® EVO item features a unique code. After the final quality check, this code is laser-etched onto each pan before it is packed and shipped worldwide.
Start by heating your Gastrolux® Cookware over low to medium heat. Gradually increase the temperature to your desired cooking level. When you poor a few tiny drops of water to the pan, if they dance around, the pan is ready. Reduce the temperature slightly and start cooking.
Concerned about a healthy lifestyle? Thanks to the EVO PFAS-Free cooking surface, you can cook with little to no oil. EVO coating delivers an exceptional non-stick performance right from the start, surpassing traditional PTFE coatings. Over time, this effect may diminish, which is completely natural. To maintain optimal performance when cooking, we recommend adding a few drops of oil or a small amount of fat as needed.
Gastrolux® Cookware is perfect for a variety of cooking methods, including frying, sautéing, simmering, boiling, and even baking (oven-safe up to 260°C). From soups and stews to stir-fries and sauces, you can count on even heat distribution and consistently excellent results.
When using induction cooktops, ensure the cookware matches the size of the induction zone for optimal heat transfer.
Gastrolux pots and pans are oven-safe, allowing you to seamlessly transition from stovetop to oven for baking, roasting, or finishing dishes. The handles on all Gastrolux® series products can withstand oven temperatures up to 260°C. For your safety, ALWAYS use oven mitts or other protective gear when handling hot Gastrolux® Cookware. If your Gastrolux® product has a detachable handle, remove it before placing the pan in the oven. When removing the pan, use the cool detachable handle to safely grab it.
The EVO PFAS-Free coating is built to provide superior resistance to scratches and abrasions compared to conventional PTFE coatings. To keep the EVO non-stick surface in excellent condition, we recommend using PFAS-Free silicone or wooden utensils. If you prefer metal utensils, ensure they have smooth, rounded edges to avoid damage. Please note that using knives on cookware can harm both the pan and the knife.
Choose an oil that suits the required cooking temperature. Oils suitable for elevated temperatures usually indicate their smoke point on the packaging. Unsuitable oils may burn, imparting a bitter taste to the food.
Salt is a particularly hard ingredient that everyone is using daily. Always lift your pan to move it around; never slide it on the hob, as this can scratch the surface. Whenever possible, cook with one of our Gastrolux® glass lids. With this simple tip, you can save up to 60% of energy. Our Gastrolux® glass lids are oven-proof up to 260°C.
When deep-frying in a Gastrolux® pan, do not fill more oil than one-third of the pan’s capacity. Ensure the bottom of the pan and the hotplate have the same diameter. Always monitor your pan and strictly follow the heat recommendations for the oil you are using. Caution: Overheated oil can ignite quickly. Be prepared to extinguish any fire with an extinguisher, lid, cloth, or similar item. Never use water to extinguish burning oil. Take care with the items you are deep-frying, as wet or improperly prepared foods can cause dangerous splashes.
Use hot water, a cleaning brush or sponge, and standard dish detergent. Hot cookware can be cleaned immediately, as the residual heat in the pan will warm the water instantly. Rince with clean water and dry well.
If food residue is stuck, soak the cookware in warm soapy water for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft sponge. For burnt oil, heat the pan, go in the empty sink, pour 1 cm of water and a drop of detergent. Scrub the cookware in circular motions with the rough side of your sponge (such as Scotch Brite). Avoid using stainless steel cleaning pads or abrasive sponges. Rinse with clean water and dry well.
Gastrolux® Cookware is easy to clean, and since dishwashers and harsh detergents can reduce the lifespan of the non-stick coating, we do not recommend placing it in the dishwasher.
Clean and dry your cookware properly before storing it.
When stacking your cookware, place a Gastrolux® pan separator, a cloth or paper towel between the items to protect the surface from scratching.
Do not preheat empty cookware for more than 90 seconds. Ou cookware should never exceed 300°C, a temperature that can be reached quickly with modern and older cooktops. Once your pan has reached the desired cooking temperature, reduce the heat to medium or low for best results. Overheating can damage the non-stick properties of your cookware.
On gas stoves, the flame can, in some situations, reach the handle and heat it up. The best option for gas stoves is to use the Gastrolux® detachable handle.
If your Gastrolux® product features a detachable handle, ensure that you remove the handle before placing the pan in the oven. When removing the pan from the oven, reattach the cool handle for safe handling.
Always stay nearby while cooking, especially when using high heat, to prevent potential hazards.
No problem at all! To assist you, we need to know the exact item you have. You can find the reference on any Gastrolux® webstore. We will provide you with a new handle, which you can easily replace yourself.
With careful daily cleaning, this should not occur. To partially restore the nonstick properties of your pan, please follow these steps: heat the pan, go in the empty sink, pour 1 cm of water and a drop of detergent. Scrub the cookware in circular motions with the rough side of your sponge (such as Scotch Brite). Avoid using stainless steel cleaning pads or abrasive sponges. Rinse with clean water and dry well.
If your pan’s coating has turned matte black or deep brown, particularly starting from the centre, this is a sign of overheating. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures can cause damage to the nonstick surface, diminishing its performance and durability. To prevent further damage and preserve your cookware, avoid overheating in the future by using low to medium heat settings and preheating the pan gradually. While the nonstick properties may not be fully restored, careful cleaning and maintenance can help prolong the usability of your pan.
Gastrolux® EVO Cookware is renowned for its superior, durability, and long- lasting performance. Even if minor scratches appear, the cookware remains safe to use without compromising cooking efficiency or affecting your health. It is PFAS-free, and its unique coating meets all food contact safety standards.
This phenomenon may occur with aluminium dust on new cookware. These marks are not scratches and can be removed. To clean them, apply a ceramic cleaner or oven cleaning spray to the stains and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then, gently scrub the surface in circular motions with the rough side of your cleaning sponge (such as Scotch Brite). Do not use stainless steel cleaning pads or abrasive sponges. Over time, these stains will disappear.
Some discoloration may occur due to high heat. This is purely aesthetic and does not affect performance.
Gastrolux® offers a limited 3-year warranty on the coating and lifetime warp-free warranty on all products against defects in materials or workmanship.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, improper handling, or non-compliance with the care instructions outlined in this manual. Natural wear of the product, damage caused by overheating, or burnt fats or other foods are not covered by the warranty. Warranty claims are valid only if the item is accompanied by the original warranty, an invoice, or another proof of purchase. Replacement items will carry the remaining duration of the warranty.
Furthermore, the statutory warranty provisions remain applicable. In certain countries, the distributor may provide warranty conditions specific to their region that do not bind the manufacturer. In such cases, please contact your local sales point.
