Setup & First Use

Before First Use:

1. Remove all packaging and labels.
2. Wash each piece thoroughly with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth.
3. Rinse and dry completely.

Important Considerations:

• Heat Settings: Always use low to medium heat settings. The Thermolon ceramic nonstick coating distributes heat efficiently, so high heat is rarely necessary and can damage the nonstick surface over time.
• Oil Usage: Use a small amount of butter or high smoke point oil (e.g., refined olive oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil, peanut oil) for optimal cooking and to prevent sticking. Avoid cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that is difficult to remove and may affect nonstick performance.

Operating Instructions

Cooking Guidelines:

• Preheat your pan for a few seconds on low to medium heat before adding food.
• The nonstick surface allows for cooking with less oil, promoting healthier meals.
• Use only heat-resistant silicone, wooden, or nylon utensils to protect the nonstick surface. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the coating.

Oven & Broiler Safe:

The GreenPan Reserve cookware is oven safe up to 600°F (315°C). Glass lids are oven safe up to 425°F (218°C). This allows for versatile cooking, from stovetop searing to oven finishing.

Maintenance & Care

Cleaning:

• While dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended for prolonged life of the nonstick coating and overall appearance.
• Allow cookware to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and thermal shock.
• Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.
• Avoid using steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the nonstick surface and exterior finish.

Storage:

• To prevent scratches and damage to the nonstick surface and exterior, use pan protectors (included with your set) when stacking cookware.
• Store lids separately or with protectors to avoid direct contact with the nonstick surface.

Troubleshooting

Food Sticking:

• Issue: Food begins to stick over time or immediately.
• Solution: Ensure you are using low to medium heat. High heat can degrade the nonstick properties. Always use a small amount of butter or high smoke point oil. Avoid cooking sprays. Clean thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup.

Discoloration or Haze:

• Issue: A white or dark haze appears on the nonstick surface or exterior.
• Solution: This can be caused by mineral deposits from water or residue from cooking oils/sprays. Clean with a mixture of baking soda and water, or a non-abrasive cleaner. For exterior discoloration, ensure proper cleaning and avoid excessive heat.

Scratches or Chipping:

• Issue: Visible scratches or small chips on the nonstick surface or exterior.
• Solution: Always use non-metal utensils (silicone, wood, nylon). Use pan protectors when stacking and storing cookware. While the hard anodized body is scratch-resistant, extreme impact or sharp objects can still cause damage.
