Setup
Before First Use

Operating Instructions
Heat Management
The pan's construction provides excellent heat distribution. For optimal performance and to preserve the non-stick coating, use medium-low heat settings. High heat is generally not required and can damage the non-stick surface over time.
Cooking with Oil/Butter
While the pan features a non-stick surface, using a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for best results and to enhance flavor.
Recommended Utensils
To protect the non-stick interior, use only nylon, wood, or high-temperature silicone tools. Avoid using sharp-pointed metal utensils, knives, or small appliances like electric mixers directly in the pan, as these can scratch or damage the non-stick surface and void the warranty.
Oven Use
This pan is not oven safe. Do not place it in an oven.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Instructions
This pan is hand wash only. It is not dishwasher safe. To clean:
- Allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent warping.
- Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
Non-Stick Coating Information
The pan features a ceramic non-stick coating that is applied at a low temperature, contributing to reduced CO2 emissions. This coating is PFOA-free, PTFE-free, and Cadmium-free.

Storage
When storing, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans if stacking to prevent scratches to the non-stick surface.
Troubleshooting
Food Sticking
- Issue: Food begins to stick to the non-stick surface.
Solution: Ensure you are using appropriate heat settings (medium-low). High heat can degrade the non-stick coating over time. Always use a small amount of oil or butter. Ensure the pan is clean and free of residue from previous cooking.
Discoloration
- Issue: The interior or exterior of the pan discolors.
Solution: Discoloration can occur from prolonged use of excessively high heat. Always cook on medium-low heat. Ensure the pan is cleaned thoroughly after each use to prevent food residue buildup.
Scratches on Surface
- Issue: Scratches appear on the non-stick coating.
Solution: Always use non-metal utensils such as nylon, wood, or silicone. Avoid cutting food directly in the pan.
