Mermaid Care and Use
Hard Anodised Mermaid Bakeware and Rangeware
- Remove any labels from the product and wash in warm soapy water before use.
- To get the best results from your hard anodised products they will benefit from seasoning. To do this, put a generous layer of inexpensive cooking oil in the base of the tray or dish. Place in a hot oven (approx 200oC) for about 10 – 15 minutes and then allow to cool. Remove from the oven and dispose of the oil carefully.
- Your bakeware should then be hand washed in warm soapy water, rinsed and dried.
- Never put your hard anodised products into a dishwasher as the caustic nature of the detergent will damage the baking pan.
- Your hard anodised bakeware is oven safe to 240oC/475oF/Gas Mark 9.
- If stubborn stains persist, simply soak in warm soapy water and use a nylon scourer to ensure any residue glides off. Avoid the use of any caustic cleaning solutions.
- Metal utensils can be used.
- Never plunge your hot pans into cold water, as extremes of temperature can cause distortion and always use oven gloves to remove your pans from the oven.
- Take care as acidic foodstuffs may mark the product if left in the pan for any length of time.
- Before storing your bakeware it needs to be clean and dry.
- Your bakeware may display 2 small contact points where the pan has been held during the hard anodising process and will not affect the product's performance.
Stainless Steel Products
- Try to remove any labels and wash, rinse and dry before using your stainless steel products.
- Never allow flames to reach your stainless steel products as this can cause discolouration.
- If food is accidentally burnt on, soak in warm soapy water, remove debris and wash further.
- Dishwasher safe.
