4. Operating Instructions
Cooking Guidelines:
- Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking. High heat is generally not required for non-stick cookware and can damage the coating over time.
- Oil Usage: While the non-stick coating allows for cooking with minimal oil, a small amount can enhance flavor and browning.
- Utensils: This fry pan features a 3-layer metal spoon friendly coating. However, for extended life of the non-stick surface, it is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils.
- Recommended Uses: Ideal for sautéing vegetables, pan-frying meats or fish, griddling pancakes or eggs, and searing steaks.

5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your non-stick fry pan.
Cleaning:
- Cool Down: Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Sudden temperature changes can warp the pan or damage the non-stick coating.
- Hand Wash Only: For best results and to preserve the non-stick coating, hand wash the fry pan with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch and damage the non-stick surface.
- Dishwasher Safe: While technically dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use may reduce the lifespan of the non-stick coating. Hand washing is recommended.
Storage:
When storing, place a soft cloth or paper towel between pans if stacking to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Prestige Omega Select Plus Fry Pan, consider the following common solutions:
- Food Sticking:
- Ensure the pan is clean and free of residue from previous cooking.
- Re-season the pan by lightly greasing the surface with cooking oil and heating it gently.
- Avoid using excessively high heat, which can degrade the non-stick coating.
- Uneven Heating:
- Ensure the pan is placed centrally on the heat source.
- For induction cooktops, verify that the induction zone matches the pan's base size.
- Handle Loosening:
- Periodically check the screws attaching the handle to the pan. If loose, carefully tighten them with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
