Steel

All Iittala steel cookware is made of 18/ 10 stainless steel, that is 18 % chromium and 10 % nickel. Chromium protects the steel against corrosion. The addition of nickel to the alloy increases its corrosion resistance while adding a bright polished appearance, hardness, and exceptional resistance to all temperatures.

Iittala steel dishes are easy to take care of, dishwasher safe, and look good for a long time. Before using a new dish for the first time, wash it in mild detergent and remove all stickers and labels.

To remove stuck or burned food from your steel pan, follow these instruction: mix 1 cup of washing powder and two pints of water into your pan and cook for 30 minutes. Then scrub, soak, and dry. You can also use liquids that are especially made for steel cookware. For lime scale stains, pour ½ cup of vinegar and 2 pints of water into the pan and cook for 30 minutes. Another tip is to scrub the stains with a lemon half or with a special steel scouring liquid.

Gas hob

Cast iron hob

Ceramic hob

Suitable for induction hobs

Cooking items marked with the induction hob symbol have induction bases that are specially designed for induction hobs. Their bases contain a magnetic metal that ensures that the bottom of the pan will be heated on the hob’s magnetic field. They also work very well on other types of hob. Cooking with an induction hob uses less electricity than a traditional hob and is safe to use as they hob itself does not get hot. Induction hobs react rapidly when you change heat settings, and only heat the dish and the food, not the rest of the kitchen.

Dishwasher safe

Iittala products marked with the “dishwasher safe” symbol can be washed in the dishwasher. Place the dishes in the dishwasher so that they do not touch each other during the wash cycle, as that may result in shipping. Fill the dishwasher evenly on both levels. Rinse very dirty dishes before washing them in the dishwasher. Rinsing for example milk glasses before washing in the dishwasher is rec-ommended as dairy products may create a cloudy film on the glass when washed in high tempera-tures.

All of Iittala’s utility glasses can be washed in the dishwasher. The glasses should be positioned in the top rack of the dishwasher so that they do not touch each other during the wash cycle. The surface area of glass expands when heated and therefore glasses should not be stacked while still warm from washing as they then may stick together and break. Delicate stemware, pitchers and jugs, mugs, large-footed dessert bowls and objects with glass of varying thickness should be washed by hand.
