Operating Instructions

Stovetop Compatibility and Heat Management

The WMF Profi Resist Frying Pan is designed for use on all stovetops, including:

• Induction
• Gas
• Electric
• Ceramic
• Halogen

The multi-layer construction with an aluminum core ensures fast and even heat distribution, which is beneficial for searing and frying. Use medium heat settings for most cooking tasks to preserve the non-stick coating and prevent overheating. High heat should only be used for short periods, such as preheating for searing.

Non-Stick Performance

The pan features WMF's PermaDur non-stick coating, protected by a raised honeycomb structure. This design helps to reduce wear on the coating and enhances durability. You can cook with less oil or fat due to the non-stick properties. Avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the surface; silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils are recommended.

Oven Use

The WMF Profi Resist Frying Pan is oven-safe up to 260°C (500°F). This allows for versatile cooking, where you can start dishes on the stovetop and finish them in the oven.

Ergonomic Handle and Pouring Rim

The stainless steel handle features a hollow design to minimize heat transfer, ensuring it remains comfortable to hold during normal stovetop cooking. The pan also includes a wide pouring rim, which facilitates easy and drip-free pouring of sauces or liquids.

Use warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the non-stick surface.

Storage

When storing, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans if stacking to prevent scratches to the non-stick surface.
