The Cello Crown Kadhai is designed for versatile cooking, featuring a high-gauge, pure-grade aluminum construction for efficient heat distribution and a superior American Heritage Dupont non-stick coating for healthier cooking with less oil. It is compatible with both gas stoves and induction cooktops.

Initial Setup and Preparation

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the Kadhai from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. First Wash: Before first use, wash the Kadhai thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse well and dry completely. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers, as this can damage the non-stick coating.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal non-stick performance and longevity, lightly coat the interior non-stick surface with a small amount of cooking oil using a paper towel. Heat the Kadhai over low heat for 1-2 minutes, then let it cool and wipe off any excess oil.

Operating Instructions

The Cello Crown Kadhai is designed for a variety of cooking tasks, including stir-frying, deep-frying, sautéing, boiling, and cooking curries.

• Heat Source Compatibility: This Kadhai is compatible with both gas stoves and smooth surface induction cooktops. Ensure the Kadhai is centered on the heat source for even cooking.
• Cooking with Non-Stick:
  • Use low to medium heat settings. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is generally not necessary due to the Kadhai's efficient heat distribution.
  • While the non-stick coating allows for cooking with minimal oil, a small amount of oil or butter can enhance flavor and browning.
  • Always use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils.
• Handle Safety: The handles are made from heat-resistant silicone material. However, always use caution and consider using oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning:
  • Allow the Kadhai to cool completely before washing. Sudden temperature changes can warp the pan or damage the non-stick coating.
  • Wash by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
  • Do NOT use abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will scratch and degrade the non-stick surface.
  • This Kadhai is NOT dishwasher safe. Hand washing is required to preserve the non-stick coating and overall integrity.
• Storage: Store the Kadhai carefully to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them.
• Non-Stick Longevity: Regular seasoning (as described in "Initial Setup") can help maintain the non-stick properties over time.
