Answer:

AMC is designed to prepare food below the boiling point of water, thereby preserving the moisture, vitamins and minerals in the food that normally get destroyed by excessive heat.

Answer:

The lifetime guarantee is very comprehensive and guarantees our cookware against any manufacturing defects. However, should your cookware become damaged due to misuse or negligence, then replacement or related costs will be at your expense.

Answer:

Yes, AMC is safe to use on gas, but remember to still work on medium to low temperatures. Don’t allow the flame to pass the base of the unit as it can burn or mark the sides of the cookware and melt the handles. A useful accessory is the AMC InSim plate which acts as the ideal simmer plate when cooking on gas.

Answer:

The classic AMC design cookware (black handles) cannot be used inside the oven due to the Bakelite handles. However, the AMC Gourmet Range, launched in 2011, features stainless steel handles and can be used in the oven, without the lid. This allows you to round off your meals with a delicious grill in the oven, if your recipe calls for this.

Answer:

A fine question. AMC Cookware offers state of the art, high quality utensils used in the preparation of food. For this reason at AMC, we prefer not to refer to our products as pots, a word also used to describe a number of things or substances, but rather as units, a word we feel more apt for our product.

Answer:

Yes, most AMC cookware is safe to use in the dishwasher, although we recommend using regular dish washing powder and salts as apposed to the “all-in-one” solutions. Electrical units and the Speedcooker® lid should ideally not be used in the dishwasher, however.

Answer:

AMC cookware is manufactured from the highest grade surgical stainless steel. Although the base contains aluminium - it is completely encapsulated by the stainless steel. Through our unique design, it is not possible for the aluminium in the base to come into contact with food cooked in the unit, and neither can the aluminium affect the stainless steel or penetrate it’s surrounding layer.

The aluminium in the base serves to give our product it’s heat retention properties, nothing else. Therefore I can safely say that AMC is the right choice of cookware for someone allergic to aluminium.
