Setup and First Use

Before using your Pampered Chef Rockcrok pan for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the pan and lid.
2. Wash: Wash the pan and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
3. Inspect: Check for any damage or imperfections. If any are found, contact customer support before use.

The Rockcrok pan is crafted from a unique clay that offers exceptional heat resistance. The glass lid is oven-safe up to 400°F (204°C) but is not suitable for grill use.

Operating Instructions

The Pampered Chef Rockcrok pan is designed for extreme versatility across various cooking methods:

• Stovetop: Safe for use on gas, electric, and flat-top stovetops. Use appropriate heat settings for your recipe.
• Oven & Broiler: The pan is heat-resistant up to 752°F (400°C) and can be used in the oven and under the broiler. Ensure the glass lid is removed if oven temperatures exceed 400°F (204°C) or when broiling.
• Microwave: The Rockcrok pan is microwave-safe, offering convenience for reheating or cooking certain dishes.
• Grill: Suitable for use on gas and charcoal grills. Do not use the glass lid on the grill.

Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the hot pan, as handles will become hot during use. For best results and to prevent sticking, ensure adequate oil or cooking spray is used, especially when cooking foods prone to adhesion.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Rockcrok pan:

• Cleaning: The pan is freezer- and dishwasher-safe. However, hand washing is recommended for longevity. For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the ceramic surface.
• Lid Care: The glass lid is dishwasher-safe. Hand wash for best results.
• Storage: Store the pan and lid separately or with a soft cloth in between to prevent scratching.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Rockcrok pan, consider the following:

• Food Sticking: While the ceramic is designed for even cooking, some foods may stick. Ensure sufficient cooking oil or fat is used and preheat the pan properly before adding ingredients. Avoid extremely high heat for extended periods without food.
• Lid Damage: The glass lid is oven-safe up to 400°F (204°C). Exceeding this temperature or using it on a grill can cause damage. Always allow the lid to cool gradually.
• Cleaning Difficulties: For baked-on food, try soaking the pan in warm water with a small amount of dish soap for several hours or overnight. A plastic scraper can help remove residue without damaging the surface.
