Flambéing Cherries Jubilee: Nonstick Cookware?

[erin.tpc]

Hello all! I could use some input. My dad called asking me about flambéing Cherries Jubilee & which type of cookware he should use. He was wondering if he could use the non stick...but I was truly stumped. I should know the answer to this, but I'm probably thinking too hard! :blushing:

I checked the use & care cards, but don't see anything about not using a flame in the Executive. I've also looked around online & have gotten conflicting answers - some "no" & some "no problem." I placed a call in to the Solution Center, but was just curious what you thought before I hear back from them...in 3 to 4 hours. Any knowledge would be great! Thank you!

I wouldn't. Use & care indicates only to use the Exec cookware at low to (at max) med-high heat. I know the flame is actually on the cookware, but is on the alcohol on the surface, but it would still make me nervous. I'd to it with SS.

I would say no since it cannot handle heat above 400 degrees and you don't know how hot the actual flame will get.

I'd go Stainless FOR SURE.

Thanks ladies! That's what I thought. Just spoke with HO & she wouldn't recommend it either. Now I know!
