Operating Instructions

Cooking Surfaces

This Bergner Infinity Chefs frying pan is suitable for use on all stovetop types, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. It is also oven safe.

Heat Management

• Always use a burner size that matches the base of the pan to ensure even heating and prevent energy waste or damage to handles.
• Stainless steel heats efficiently. Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling water or searing, and only for short periods.
• Avoid preheating an empty pan on high heat for extended periods, as this can cause discoloration or damage.

Using the Glass Lid

The included glass lid allows you to monitor cooking progress without lifting the lid, helping to retain heat and moisture. The lid features a steam vent to prevent boil-overs.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of your cookware, hand washing is recommended. Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm water before cleaning.
• Dishwasher Use: While the pan is dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use may dull the finish over time.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool, abrasive scrubbers, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
• Drying: Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the luster of the stainless steel.

Storage

Store your frying pan in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between items to prevent scratches.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food. For stainless steel, a common technique is to heat the pan, add oil, and then add food once the oil shimmers. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
• Discoloration (Blue/Rainbow Stains): These are typically caused by overheating or mineral deposits from water. They are harmless and can often be removed by cleaning with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) or a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
• White Spots/Mineral Deposits: These can occur from hard water. To remove, boil a solution of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) in the pan, then wash and dry as usual.
