Maintenance and Care

• Cooling: Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing.
• Cleaning: The pan is dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use a sponge or nylon scrubbing pad with warm, soapy water.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, steel scouring pads, or harsh detergents, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
• Removing Food Residue: For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a period before cleaning.
• Storage: Store the pan in a dry place. If stacking, place a cloth or paper towel between pans to prevent scratches.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or fat. Stainless steel is not non-stick, so proper heat management is key.
• Discoloration: High heat can sometimes cause blue or rainbow discoloration. This is harmless and can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water.
• Water Spots: To prevent water spots, dry the pan immediately after washing.
