Setup

Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials and labels from the pans and handle.
2. Wash the pans and handle thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
3. Rinse well and dry completely with a soft cloth.
4. For optimal non-stick performance, lightly season the interior of the pans by rubbing a small amount of cooking oil over the surface with a paper towel. Heat on low for 30 seconds, then let cool and wipe clean.

Attaching the Handle

Align the handle's attachment mechanism with the designated slot on the pan's rim. Press the release button on the handle and slide it firmly onto the pan until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the handle is fully engaged and stable before lifting or cooking.

Operating Instructions

Cooking on Stovetops

• These pans are compatible with induction, ceramic, gas, halogen, and electric cooktops.
• Always use a burner size that matches the base of the pan to ensure even heating and energy efficiency.
• Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is generally not necessary due to the pan's excellent heat distribution.
• Avoid preheating empty pans on high heat for extended periods.
• Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the coating.

Oven Use

• The pans are oven safe only when the removable handle is detached.
• Ensure the handle is completely removed before placing the pan in the oven.
• Always use oven mitts when handling hot pans from the oven.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Allow pans to cool completely before washing. Sudden temperature changes can cause warping.
• Hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick coating.
• While the pans are dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use may reduce the lifespan of the non-stick surface and dull the exterior finish.
• For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating.

Storage

• Thanks to their stackable design, these pans can be stored efficiently.
• To protect the non-stick surface when stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between the pans.
• Store the removable handle separately or attached to one of the pans, ensuring it is clean and dry.
