Frying pans, grillpan, wok and sautepan feature Tefal’s patented Thermo-Spot® technology which indicates optimum cooking temperature to start cooking. To prolong the life of your pan, we recommend hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge. For dishwasher use, it is preferable to use gentle detergents such as a liquid or gel. This is the optimum temperature for frying and searing food. This indication helps you cook healthier and at an ideal temperature.
