12 - Can T-FAL pans be damaged by high temperature?

Yes. High temperature can burn food, producing stains and causing the pan to
warp. In addition, overheating may result in a loss of non-stick
performance. Use only low to medium heat with your T-FAL cookware at all
times (including to boil water). A moderate temperature is sufficient for
cooking, because aluminium heats up quickly and evenly. T-FAL cookware can
be used without being damaged up to a temperature of approximately 260°C.
This is well above the temperature needed to cook or fry, so there is no
problem when the utensil is used for normal cooking. Only heating the pan to
a very high temperature, with nothing in it, can cause damage.
