Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials, labels, and protective films from the pan and lid.
2. Initial Cleaning: Wash the pan and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse completely and dry immediately with a soft towel to prevent water spots.
3. Conditioning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal nonstick performance, lightly condition the cooking surface. Rub a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil) onto the interior of the pan with a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for approximately 30 seconds. Remove from heat and wipe clean with a paper towel. This process helps to prepare the surface for cooking.

Operating Instructions

Follow these guidelines for effective and safe cooking with your GreenPan Swift skillet:

• Heat Settings: Always use low to medium heat settings for cooking. The pan's aluminum body provides excellent heat distribution, making high heat unnecessary and potentially damaging to the nonstick coating over time.
• Preheating: Allow the pan to preheat gradually for a few minutes on low to medium heat before adding food. Do not preheat an empty pan on high heat.
• Cooking Oils: While the pan is nonstick, using a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for enhanced flavor and browning. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays as they can leave a residue that may affect the nonstick performance.
• Utensils: Use heat-resistant silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to protect the nonstick surface. Metal utensils, while stated as safe, should be used with caution to avoid scratching.
• Oven Use: The pan is oven safe up to 600°F (315°C). The tempered glass lid is oven safe up to 425°F (218°C). Always use oven mitts when handling a hot pan or lid.
• Lid Usage: Use the tempered glass lid to retain heat and moisture, allowing for faster cooking and better flavor development. The transparent design allows for easy monitoring.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your GreenPan Swift skillet:

• Cool Down: Always allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
• Cleaning: While dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended for longevity. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stuck-on food, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
• Storage: Store your pan carefully to protect the nonstick surface. If stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans to prevent scratches.
• Handle Care: The stainless steel handle is durable. Ensure it is clean and dry after washing to prevent water spots.
