Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use and care of your GreenPan Swift 10-inch Healthy Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet. Crafted from quick-heating aluminum, this skillet offers efficient heat transfer and reliable performance. It features GreenPan’s healthy ceramic nonstick coating, designed for PFAS-free cooking and easy cleanup. The riveted stainless steel handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip. This pan is oven safe up to 600°F and dishwasher safe.
Setup and First Use
1. Initial Cleaning
Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water using a soft sponge. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth.
2. Seasoning (Optional)
While GreenPan's ceramic nonstick is ready for immediate use, some users prefer to lightly season the pan before its first cooking session. To do so, heat the pan over low heat for approximately 30 seconds. Add one tablespoon of cooking oil (avoiding aerosol spray oils) and spread it evenly over the entire nonstick surface with a paper towel. Allow the pan to cool completely, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Operating Instructions
1. Heat Settings
Always use low to medium heat settings. The pan's efficient heat transfer means high heat is generally unnecessary and can potentially damage the nonstick coating over time.
2. Cooking Oil and Utensils
Always use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays as they can leave a residue that may affect nonstick performance. Use silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to protect the nonstick surface. While the pan is metal utensil safe, prolonged or aggressive use of metal utensils may reduce the lifespan of the nonstick coating.

3. Oven and Broiler Use
The pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. If using a lid, ensure it is oven safe up to 425°F. Always use oven mitts or a heat-resistant cloth when handling the pan after oven use, as the stainless steel handle will become hot.

Maintenance and Care
1. Cleaning
Allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning. Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to prolong the life of the nonstick coating. The pan is also dishwasher safe for convenience, but hand washing is preferred for optimal longevity.

2. Storage
Store pans carefully to prevent scratching the nonstick surface. Use pan protectors or place a soft cloth between stacked pans.
Troubleshooting
1. Food Sticking
If food begins to stick, ensure you are consistently using low to medium heat settings and a small amount of cooking oil. Avoid aerosol sprays, as they can build up a sticky residue. A thorough cleaning to remove any accumulated residue may restore the pan's nonstick properties.
2. Discoloration
Minor discoloration of the nonstick surface over time is normal and typically does not affect performance. Excessive use of high heat can cause permanent discoloration.
