HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER OR NOT MY KUHN RIKON PRODUCT IS STILL COVERED BY THE GUARANTEE?

MY PAN IS DESIGNED FOR AN INDUCTION HOB. CAN I ALSO USE IT ON A NORMAL HOB? 

Induction-compatible cookware by Kuhn Rikon is also suitable for use on other types of hob.

HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT SIZE POT OR PAN FOR MY HOB?

For optimum efficiency, your pans should be as close in size as possible to the diameter of the hob. This is particularly important for energy efficiency if you’re cooking on a ceramic hob. On our website you’ll find a wide range of different pans. Look at the “Specifications” section to see what size hob they’re designed for. If you need help, please call our customer service hotline or visit us in one of our Kuhn Rikon outlets.

WHERE DO I MEASURE THE DIAMETER OF A POT OR PAN?

The diameter of the pot or pan is measured across the top inside rim of the pan.

WHAT INFORMATION IS LASERED ON THE BASE OF MY POTS AND PANS?

The following information is lasered on the base of our pots and pans:

  • Kuhn Rikon manufacturer
  • Name of product
  • Item no.
  • Production date
  • Base diameter
  • Capacity in litres

 

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH SIZE RUBBER RING TO BUY FOR MY DUROMATIC®?

DOES KUHN RIKON OFFER REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR SIGG PRESSURE COOKERS? 

We do not stock special replacement parts for Sigg products. Our rubber rings only fit a small number of Sigg pressure cookers. To find out whether this is the case, please contact our customer service team and provide us with the item number of your pan or the rubber ring.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DOUBLE-WALL AND A SINGLE-WALL PAN? 

The double-walled DUROTHERM® cookware range is an innovation from Kuhn Rikon. As the name says, these pans have a double wall which has a strong insulating effect. Accordingly, food remains warm for up to two hours. Likewise, you can cook food in an energy-efficient manner by following the “soft cooking” method developed by Kuhn Rikon.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT FRYING PANS SUITABLE FOR? 

WHICH STOVE FITS WHICH FONDUE POT?

MY FONDUE POT IS MEANT TO BE INDUCTION-COMPATIBLE, BUT IT DOESN’T WORK ON MY INDUCTION HOB. WHY NOT?

On very rare occasions, an induction hob may fail to respond to a ceramic fondue pot. For this reason, we recommend you conduct a trial run before you use your fondue pot for the first time. Place the fondue pot on your hob and set it to a medium heat setting. If your hob responds and keeps heating the hob for thirty seconds with no interruptions, you’ll know you can use your fondue pot on your induction hob without any issues. If the hob doesn't continue heating up steadily for thirty seconds, or doesn’t respond to the fondue pot at all, please contact the Kuhn Rikon customer service team.
