3. Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all cookware and accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all pieces with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): While not strictly necessary due to the advanced nonstick coating, a light seasoning can further enhance performance.
   • Heat the pan over low to medium heat for 30 seconds.
   • Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or refined coconut oil).
   • Spread the oil over the entire nonstick surface with a paper towel.
   • Wipe off any excess oil. Your pan is now ready for use.

4. Operating Instructions

Heat Management

The GreenPan GP5 cookware features Magneto Induction Technology for optimal heat distribution and efficiency on all stovetops, including induction. The Balance Pro Base ensures a unique stay-flat surface, preventing oil from pooling at the edges and ensuring maximum food contact.

• Low to Medium Heat: Always use low to medium heat settings for cooking. The advanced nonstick coating and efficient heat conduction mean high heat is rarely necessary and can damage the coating over time.
• Preheating: Allow the pan to preheat for a few moments before adding food. This ensures even cooking.
• Oil/Butter Use: While the nonstick surface allows for cooking with minimal oil, a small amount of butter or oil is recommended for flavor and to enhance browning.

Cooking with Infinite8 Ceramic Nonstick

The Infinite8 ceramic nonstick coating is the most advanced ceramic nonstick developed by GreenPan. It is ultra-durable, scratch-resistant, and reinforced with layers of diamonds for extraordinary performance. It is completely PFAS-free, PFOA-free, lead-free, and cadmium-free.

• Utensils: While the Infinite8 coating is metal utensil safe, using silicone, wooden, or nylon utensils is recommended to prolong the life of the nonstick surface.
• Oven and Broiler Safe: All pieces are oven and broiler safe up to 600°F (315°C). The stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop but will get hot in the oven. Always use oven mitts.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your GreenPan GP5 cookware.

• Cool Down: Always allow cookware to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and thermal shock to the nonstick surface.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to preserve the nonstick coating, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended. The Silhouette Rivets are reverse riveted, creating a smooth, snag-free interior that is easy to clean and prevents food traps.
• Dishwasher Safe: All pieces are dishwasher safe for convenience. However, frequent dishwasher use may dull the exterior finish over time.
• Stubborn Stains: For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads.
• Storage: Use the included pan protectors when stacking cookware to prevent scratches to the nonstick surface and exterior finish.
