The pouring rim All items of WMF cookware have a pro- nounced pouring rim. The outwardly-turned edge ensures accurate and controlled pouring of liquid, without so much as a drip.

The inside scale and traceability code No more need for measuring jugs: the scale on the inside of the pot makes it easy to measure liquids (for addition or removal). The unique traceability code enables the prod- uct’s history to be tracked from start to fin- ish, including when and where it was produced, finished, stored and transported, and by whom.

The handles Handles made of Cromargan®: stainless steel 18/10 look great and are also durable, oven- proof and dishwasher-safe. Handles on WMF items are spot-welded and an integral part of the pot. The high-quality construction also means that no water can seep between the pot and handle.

WMF has three different handle designs: Ergonomic handles

are solid and can heat up during extended periods of cooking. The quantity and type of food being cooked in the pot, the cooking time and a person’s individual sensitivity to heat will ultimately determine how warm the handles feel.

Hollow handles are hollow inside and do not become hot during normal use on the hob because the heat is distributed over a large area by means of the welding spots on the pot. Pot holders must be used after extended cooking periods.

Handles with patented Cool+ Technology never heat up, even after long cooking times. With this innovative joining technology, the transfer of heat from pot to handle is reduced effectively and the requirements of the EN 12983-1 standard are even exceeded. Cool+ handles are easy to recognise by their bright red dots.

As a general rule, pot holders should be used when cooking in the oven or for prolonged peri- ods of time.

Maintenance and storage tips Thanks to the excellent heat performance of WMF pots and pans made of Cromargan®: stain- less steel 18/10, you can save energy when cooking. Only use the highest setting on the stove for parboiling and then you can use a lower heat setting to finish cooking. This particularly applies when cooking with little water. You get the most efficient use of energy when the size of the pot matches the size of the hob. Only add salt to water that is already boiling and stir well. Otherwise, salt could settle on the base of the pot and corrode the material. Clean the pots and pans as soon as possible after use and store in a dry place. Stubborn food residue should be soaked and gently removed with a sponge or brush. Do not use any abrasive scouring agents or steel wool. Hard water and certain types of food can result in limescale deposits or blue shimmering dis- colouration inside the pans. Both can be easily removed using Purargan® polish or vinegar water. This ensures that the pots will retain their flawless appearance for a long time.
