3. Setup

3.1 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse completely and dry. It is recommended to lightly oil the cooking surface before the first use to condition the non-stick coating.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Heat Management

The pan's design ensures even heating. Preheat the pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes before adding food. Avoid using excessively high heat, especially when empty, as this can damage the non-stick coating over time. The pan retains heat effectively, allowing for consistent cooking temperatures.

4.2 Cooking with Less Oil

Thanks to the Permadur non-stick coating, you can cook with minimal oil or fat, promoting healthier meal preparation. For best results and to enhance flavor, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is still recommended.

4.3 Recommended Uses

This pan is ideal for frying a variety of foods, including meats (steak, chicken), vegetables, eggs, and fish. Its robust construction and non-stick properties make it suitable for searing, sautéing, and general frying.

4.4 Oven Finishing

Utilize the pan's oven-safe feature to start dishes on the stovetop and finish them in the oven. Ensure the oven temperature does not exceed 250°C (482°F).

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Cleaning

For optimal longevity of the non-stick coating, hand washing is recommended. Use warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scrubbing pads, as these can damage the surface. While the pan is officially dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use may reduce the lifespan of the non-stick coating.

5.2 Storage

Store the pan carefully to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Food Sticking

If food begins to stick, ensure the pan is properly preheated and a small amount of oil is used. Overheating or insufficient oil can sometimes lead to sticking. Re-seasoning the pan with a thin layer of cooking oil after cleaning may help.

6.2 Uneven Cooking

The pan is designed for even heat distribution. If you experience uneven cooking, verify that your stovetop burner size matches the pan's base and that the heat setting is appropriate for the food being cooked.
