KitchenAid non-stick pans are made from aluminium. The pans can be slightly uneven when they are cold. As soon as the pan heats up, the bottom should become flat.
Should the pan not flatten, it could be due to thermal shock. A thermal shock usually happens after a sudden, rapid temperature change. The most common situations which can cause a thermal shock are:
- A cold pan is put on a high heat, especially with induction hobs, which heat up very rapidly. We therefore advise to heat the pan slowly.
- A hot pan comes in contact with water. For this reason, it is important to let your cookware cool down before washing, or even dipping it into water.
