Maintenance and Care

• Hand Washing Recommended: To maintain the quality and finish of your pan, hand washing is recommended.
• Cleaning: Wash with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the stainless steel surface.
• Drying: Dry the pan immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its mirror finish.
• Dishwasher Safety: This item is not dishwasher safe.
• Stubborn Food: If food is stuck, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a period before cleaning. For baked-on oil or stains, a gentle scrub with baking soda and water on a soft sponge can be effective.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is lightly oiled or lined with parchment paper before placing food, especially for items prone to sticking.
• Marks from Pizza Cutter: Stainless steel can show marks or indentations from direct cutting with a pizza cutter. To preserve the pan's appearance, consider cutting pizza on a separate surface or using a softer cutting tool.
• Rust Spots: While made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can lead to rust spots. Always dry the pan immediately after washing. If rust spots appear, a paste of baking soda and water can sometimes help remove them.
• Dull Finish: To restore the mirror finish, ensure thorough drying after washing. For minor dullness, a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
