Operating Instructions

Heat Source Compatibility

The Tescoma SteelCraft Frying Pan is designed for versatility. It is suitable for use on all types of cooking hobs, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. Additionally, it is oven safe, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 230 degrees Celsius (446 degrees Fahrenheit).

Cooking Guidelines

• Heat Settings: Use medium to low heat for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for short periods, such as searing, to prevent overheating and potential damage to the non-stick coating.
• Even Cooking: The embossed stainless steel grill promotes intensive and even heat distribution, reducing hot spots and ensuring consistent cooking results.
• Utensils: While the pan is designed to be durable with metal kitchen utensils, using silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils is recommended to extend the life and preserve the integrity of the non-stick surface.

Maintenance and Cleaning

After Use

Always allow the frying pan to cool completely before attempting to clean it. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping and damage to the non-stick coating.

Washing

• Dishwasher Safe: The Tescoma SteelCraft Frying Pan is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand washing is recommended. Use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid using steel wool, abrasive scrubbers, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the surface and degrade the non-stick properties.
• Drying: Dry the pan thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots.

Storage

When storing, especially if nesting with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between the pans to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.

Troubleshooting

Pan Not Heating on Induction Hob

If your frying pan does not activate or heat on an induction hob, ensure that the cooking zone on your hob matches the base diameter of the pan. Some induction hobs have minimum diameter requirements for pan detection. Consult your induction hob's manual for specific requirements. Ensure the pan is centered on the induction zone.

Non-Stick Coating Performance

While the pan features a durable non-stick coating, its performance can be affected by extreme overheating or improper cleaning. To maintain optimal non-stick properties, avoid using excessively high heat for prolonged periods and always allow the pan to cool before cleaning. Adhere to the recommended cleaning instructions.
