Learn how to use the RACO Contemporary Nonstick Induction Milkpan 14cm for sauces, heating milk, and more. Practical tips to avoid burning and get the most from this small saucepan.

Quick answer

The RACO Contemporary Nonstick Induction Milkpan 14cm is a versatile small saucepan ideal for heating milk, making sauces, and simmering small portions. Its nonstick surface and induction compatibility make it easy to use and clean.

Why a 14cm milkpan is worth having

A 14cm milkpan is the right size for tasks that a large pot handles poorly. It heats up fast, uses less energy, and lets you control small quantities without scorching. The RACO Contemporary version adds a nonstick coating that reduces sticking and cleanup time.

Trade-offs to know

The 0.9L capacity means you cannot boil pasta or cook for more than one person. The nonstick coating also limits high-heat searing and metal utensil use. Stick to silicone, wood, or nylon tools to protect the surface.

How to use your RACO milkpan without burning or sticking

Start with low to medium heat: Place the milkpan on the burner and set the heat to low or medium. Nonstick pans heat quickly, so high heat is unnecessary and can damage the coating. Common mistake: cranking the heat to speed things up. This causes milk to scorch and sauce to stick.
Stir frequently with a soft utensil: Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to stir sauces and milk gently. Constant motion prevents solids from settling and burning on the bottom. Checkpoint: if you see brown specks forming, reduce heat immediately and stir more often.
Fill no more than two-thirds full: Leave headspace so liquids can bubble without boiling over. For milk, stop at the halfway mark to allow for foam expansion. Common mistake: overfilling leads to messy stovetops and uneven heating.
Use the right tools for the coating: Avoid metal whisks, tongs, or spatulas. Stick to silicone, nylon, or wood to keep the nonstick surface intact. Checkpoint: inspect the pan after each wash. Scratches mean it is time to switch utensils.
Clean gently after each use: Let the pan cool, then wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent. The pan is dishwasher safe, but hand washing extends the nonstick life. Common mistake: using abrasive scrubbers or stacking pans without protection scratches the coating.
