Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials, labels, and protective films from the pan.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): Lightly coat the entire non-stick cooking surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil). Heat the pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool. Wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. This process helps to enhance and maintain the non-stick properties.

Operating Instructions

Cooking Surfaces

This pan is suitable for use on electric plates, gas cooktops, glass ceramic cooktops, and halogen cooktops. It is NOT suitable for induction cooktops.

General Cooking

• Use low to medium heat settings. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is generally not necessary due to the pan's efficient heat distribution.
• While the pan has a non-stick coating, using a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended to enhance flavor, browning, and further improve food release.
• Always preheat the pan for a few minutes on low to medium heat before adding food.

Using the Double Pan Feature

• The double pan design allows for cooking on both sides without directly flipping food with a spatula.
• The silicone seal along the rim helps to create a sealed environment when the pan is closed, trapping heat and moisture. This creates an oven-like effect, ideal for cooking items like fish, chicken, or vegetables, ensuring even cooking and retaining natural juices.
• To flip food, ensure the pan is securely closed, then carefully turn the entire pan over using both handles. Exercise caution as the pan will be hot.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• Always allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping and damage to the non-stick coating.
• Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can severely damage the non-stick coating.
• The pan is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to prolong the life and performance of the non-stick coating.
• For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a short period before cleaning.

Storage

• Store the pan in a dry place.
• To prevent scratches to the non-stick surface, place a soft cloth or paper towel between the pan halves if stacking with other cookware.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is clean and properly seasoned. Use a small amount of cooking oil. Avoid excessively high heat, which can degrade the non-stick properties.
• Pan Warping: Always allow the pan to cool naturally before washing. Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as placing a hot pan under cold water.
• Non-stick Coating Degradation: This can be caused by using metal utensils, abrasive cleaners, or consistent overheating. Follow care instructions carefully to prevent this.
