Setup

Before first use, wash the frying pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. It is recommended to lightly season the pan by rubbing a small amount of cooking oil (avoiding extra virgin olive oil) over the nonstick surface with a paper towel, then heating it on low for 30 seconds. Let it cool and wipe off any excess oil. This helps optimize the nonstick performance.

Operating Instructions

• Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking. The diamond-infused coating provides 4x better heat conductivity than copper, ensuring faster and more even heating. High heat is generally not necessary and can shorten the lifespan of the nonstick coating.
• Oil/Butter Usage: While the pan is nonstick, using a small amount of butter or high-heat tolerant oil (avoiding extra virgin olive oil) is recommended to enhance flavor and prolong the life of the nonstick surface.
• Utensils: The pan features a durable, scratch-resistant, diamond-infused ceramic nonstick coating that is metal utensil safe. However, for optimal longevity, silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils are recommended.
• Oven and Broiler Safe: This frying pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing for versatile cooking from stovetop to oven.
• Stovetop Compatibility: Compatible with all stovetops, except induction.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: The frying pan is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. For best results and to prolong the life of the nonstick coating, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Storage: To prevent scratches to the nonstick surface, place a pan protector or a soft cloth between pans if stacking.
• Handle Care: The riveted stainless steel handle provides a secure grip. Be aware that the handle can become hot during stovetop use, especially at higher temperatures or if the flame extends beyond the base of the pan. Use oven mitts or a handle cover as needed.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is clean and lightly seasoned. Use low to medium heat. Excessive heat can damage the nonstick coating over time. Always use a small amount of cooking oil or butter.
• Uneven Heating/Wobbling: The pan features a heavy-duty forged base designed to prevent warping and wobbling. If uneven heating occurs, ensure the pan is centered on the heat source and that the heat setting is appropriate.
• Handle Getting Hot: This is normal for stainless steel handles, especially when used on stovetops. Always use oven mitts or a handle cover when handling a hot pan.
• Discoloration: High heat can sometimes cause discoloration over time. Using appropriate heat settings (low to medium) will help prevent this.
