3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the frying pan from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse completely and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
3. Conditioning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal non-stick performance, lightly coat the interior cooking surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, canola oil). Heat the pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. This process helps to enhance the non-stick properties.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these guidelines for effective and safe cooking with your MasterPRO Hi-Tech 3 Frying Pan:

• Heat Source Compatibility: This pan is compatible with all cooktop types, including induction, gas, halogen, ceramic, and electric.
• Preheating: Always preheat the pan for a few minutes over medium heat before adding food. This allows for even heat distribution and better cooking results. Avoid using excessively high heat, especially when the pan is empty, as this can damage the non-stick coating.
• Cooking Temperatures: Medium to medium-high heat is generally sufficient for most cooking tasks. The pan's efficient heat distribution means lower heat settings can often achieve results typically requiring higher heat with other cookware.
• Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils, which can scratch and damage the coating.
• Oil/Fat Usage: While the pan is non-stick, a small amount of cooking oil or fat is recommended for flavor and to further enhance food release.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your frying pan:

• Cleaning: Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating. Avoid harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or steel wool, which can damage the surface.
• Dishwasher Use: While some components may be dishwasher safe, hand washing is always preferred for non-stick cookware to maintain its longevity and performance.
• Stubborn Food Residue: For baked-on food, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a period before gently cleaning.
• Storage: Store the pan carefully to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. If stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans.
• Maximum Temperature: The pan is designed to withstand temperatures up to 240 degrees Celsius. Avoid exceeding this temperature.

6. Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of oil or fat. Avoid using metal utensils that could damage the non-stick coating. If the non-stick performance has significantly degraded over time, it may indicate wear.
• Uneven Cooking: Verify that the pan is centered on the heat source. For gas stoves, ensure flames do not extend beyond the base of the pan. The aluminum core is designed for even heat, so persistent uneven cooking may indicate an issue with the heat source itself.
• Discoloration: High heat can sometimes cause discoloration on stainless steel. This is typically cosmetic and does not affect performance. Ensure you are not consistently using excessively high heat.
