Cooking outside means going back to the roots. Open flames or coals give a completely new experience to cooking. To get started, first remove all packaging material from the Black 5 series. You can easily remove any adhesive residue with acetone. Always start with clean cookware, this simplifies cleaning afterwards.
BLACK 5 IN YOUR KITCHEN
Keep it healthy, even while cooking outside. The ideal frying or wok temperature is between 180 and 250°C. An open flame or smoldering coals will increase in temperature and burn your ingredients. Get started in a zone of your outdoor kitchen where the temperature is not too high. Quick check? If you can hold your hand over the fire or coals for 5 seconds, you are doing well. If it is too hot after a few seconds, you have too high a heat.
THE PATINA OF THE GOOD LIFE
After that delicious wok or that creamy simmer dish, discoloration of the stainless steel can occur. This is due to the higher temperatures and the combustion of the wood or coal. Don't worry, this is a normal patina that will form on the Black 5.
Cookware on an open fire takes more strain than when used on a normal cooking fire. The high temperature and smoke leave residue. Clean your Black 5 thoroughly after each use. Wash with warm water and a sponge with detergent. Rinse. You can remove the last residues with Demeyere's cleaning cream. Put a few drops in your cookware and rub your cookware with a dry cloth or kitchen paper.
DISHWASHER
There's nothing easier than washing your cookware in the dishwasher. The materials of Black 5 are perfectly resistant to dishwasher use, but the black coating can gray in the dishwasher. This is an optical discolouration but has no influence on the operation of the product. Do you always want beautiful and 100% cleaned cookware? Then hand washing is still the best guarantee.
The Black 5 also holds its own indoors. All Black 5 products are perfect for use on normal indoor cooking hobs, including induction. Prevent scratches on your hob when you use the black 5 cookware outdoors by moving carefully on your hob and/ or using an induction hob protector. The rough grilles of outdoor BBQs can cause scratches in the coating or your Black 5 cookware, which can scratch your hob.
