Setup and First Use
Unboxing and Initial Cleaning
- Carefully remove the fry pan from its packaging.
- Wash the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth before first use.
- Rinse completely and dry with a soft towel.
Seasoning (Optional but Recommended)
While Scanpan Pro IQ features a superior nonstick surface, a light seasoning can further enhance its performance and longevity:
- Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil) to the entire nonstick surface.
- Heat the pan over low to medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel.
Operating Instructions
Cooking Guidelines
- Heat Settings: The recycled squeeze-cast aluminum construction ensures quick and even heat distribution. Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling liquids or searing for very short periods. Overheating can damage the nonstick surface over time.
- Oil Usage: The STRATANIUM nonstick surface allows for cooking with little to no oil, promoting healthier meals.
- Utensils: The STRATANIUM nonstick surface is metal utensil safe, but for extended longevity, silicone, wood, or plastic utensils are recommended.
