FAQs

Is Magnaware Oven safe?

Yes, your Magnaware cookware is oven-safe. The maximum temperature depends on the type. Dutch Oven pots are safe up to 450°F (232°C) and Stock Pots up to 350°F (177°C) if you are using the lids with plastic knobs. If you place the stock pot without the lid it is safe up to 450°F (232°C) just like the Dutch Oven pots. For best results, place them in a preheated oven and never during a self-cleaning cycle. Your Magnaware Dutch Oven roaster with its oval shape will help create a convection effect for optimal cooking results and even distribution of the heat.

Is Magnaware dishwasher safe?

The Magnaware cookware is NOT dishwasher safe, as the chemicals in automatic detergents and prolonged contact with hot water will cause a reaction that darkens and stains the metal. We recommend washing it by hand after every use in hot soapy water to keep it looking shiny and smooth. Ensure you let the cookware cool down before you wash it and never expose your hot pans or pots to cold water since this can cause thermal shock and warping.

Does Magnaware have Teflon or other PFAS, PFOA or PTFE?

No, Magnaware does not contain Teflon (the brand name for the material associated with non-stick pans) or any other chemicals linked to it such as PFAS, PFOA, or PTFE. Our cookware is made from 100% cast aluminum.
