Operating Instructions
- Heat Settings: For optimal performance and to preserve the nonstick coating, use medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat should be used sparingly and only for short durations, as excessive heat can damage the coating over time.
- Preheating: Allow the pan to preheat for a minute or two on medium heat before adding food.
- Cooking Oils: While the pan is nonstick, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to further enhance the nonstick properties. Avoid using aerosol cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that may build up and affect the nonstick surface.
- Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prevent scratching the nonstick surface. Avoid metal utensils.
- Even Cooking: The 7-layer construction ensures even heat distribution, reducing hot spots and promoting consistent cooking results.
Maintenance and Care
- Cool Down: Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
- Hand Washing (Recommended): For best results and to prolong the life of the nonstick coating, hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Dishwasher Safe: The pan is dishwasher safe, but frequent dishwasher use may reduce the lifespan of the nonstick coating.
- Drying: Dry the pan thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots.
- Storage: Store the pan carefully to prevent scratching the nonstick surface. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them.

Troubleshooting
- Food Sticking: If food begins to stick, ensure you are using appropriate heat settings and a small amount of oil. Over time, residue buildup from cooking sprays or high heat can affect nonstick performance. Clean thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
- Warping: This pan is designed with 7 layers of metal for improved heat retention and warp resistance. To prevent warping, always allow the pan to cool gradually before washing. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
