Key Features:

• Nonstick Surface: Designed for browning, braising, searing, and deglazing with little to no oil.
• Durability: Dishwasher and metal-utensil safe.
• Ergonomic Design: Features sleek stainless steel handles for comfortable and secure grip.
• Safety: PFOA-free and sustainably manufactured.
• Oven Safe: Suitable for oven use up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Setup

Before first use, remove all packaging materials and labels. Wash the pans thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse and dry completely. It is recommended to season the pan lightly by rubbing a small amount of cooking oil over the nonstick surface before its initial use. This helps to optimize the nonstick performance.

3. Operating Instructions

Heat Settings:

Scanpan cookware is designed for efficient heat distribution. Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat is generally not required and can potentially damage the nonstick surface over time. The pans are compatible with electric coil, gas, and smooth surface non-induction cooktops.

Cooking with Nonstick:

The advanced nonstick surface allows you to cook with little or no oil. This is ideal for healthier cooking and easy food release.

Utensil Use:

Scanpan Professional series features a durable nonstick coating that is safe for use with metal utensils. However, to prolong the life of your cookware, it is always recommended to use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils when possible.

Oven Use:

The fry pans are oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius), allowing for versatile cooking from stovetop to oven.

4. Maintenance

Cleaning:

The Scanpan Professional Fry Pans are dishwasher safe for convenience. For best results and to prolong the life of the nonstick coating, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the surface.

Storage:

When storing pans, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them to prevent scratching the nonstick surface.

5. Troubleshooting

Nonstick Performance Degradation:

If the nonstick performance appears to diminish, it may be due to a buildup of food residue or oil. To restore, clean the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For stubborn residue, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and scrubbed with a soft sponge, then rinsed well.

Warping:

Scanpan products are designed to resist warping due to their unique squeeze-casting technique. Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as plunging a hot pan into cold water, as this can stress the material.
