Important Safety Instructions

• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the hot frying pan, as the handle can become hot during cooking.
• Never leave the frying pan unattended on a heat source, especially when cooking with oil or fat.
• Do not heat an empty frying pan for extended periods, as this can damage the non-stick coating.
• Keep children away from the cooking area and hot cookware.
• Avoid using sharp metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick surface. Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils.
• Ensure the frying pan is stable on the cooktop to prevent tipping.
• This frying pan is oven safe. When using in an oven, ensure the temperature does not exceed recommended limits (typically 200°C / 390°F, consult specific product details if available).

Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the frying pan.
2. Wash: Before first use, wash the frying pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth.
3. Condition (Optional for Non-stick): Although this pan features a non-stick coating, some users prefer to lightly condition it. Apply a small amount of cooking oil to the non-stick surface with a paper towel, then wipe off any excess. This step is not strictly necessary for performance but can enhance initial non-stick properties.
4. Ready for Use: Your Tescoma President Frying Pan is now ready for cooking.

Operating Instructions

Cooking with your Frying Pan

• Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is rarely necessary due to the pan's efficient heat distribution.
• Oil/Fat Usage: While the non-stick coating allows for cooking with minimal oil or fat, a small amount is recommended for flavor and to enhance browning.
• Recommended Uses: This frying pan is ideal for frying eggs, sautéing vegetables, searing meats, and preparing various pan-fried dishes.
• Utensils: Always use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface from scratches.

Compatible Cooktops

This frying pan is compatible with Gas cooktops. Please ensure your cooktop type matches the pan's compatibility for optimal performance and safety.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Cool Down: Always allow the frying pan to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended.
• Dishwasher Safe: This frying pan is dishwasher safe. However, frequent dishwasher use may dull the exterior finish over time.
• Stubborn Food: For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads.

Storage

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

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: If food begins to stick, ensure you are using a small amount of oil or fat. Overheating the pan or using metal utensils can damage the non-stick coating. Clean the pan thoroughly after each use to remove any residue that might affect performance.
• Pan Warping: Rapid temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pan under cold water) can cause warping. Always allow the pan to cool naturally before washing.
• Discoloration: Minor discoloration on the exterior or interior is normal over time due to heat exposure and food residues. This typically does not affect cooking performance.
