3. Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all parts of the pan set (pan, lid, steamer insert, bamboo utensil, bamboo trivet) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Conditioning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal non-stick performance, lightly coat the ceramic interior of the pan with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, canola oil). Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. This helps to maintain the non-stick surface.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 General Cooking

The All-in-One Plus Pan is suitable for sautéing, frying, and braising. Always use low to medium heat settings for optimal results and to preserve the non-stick coating. High heat is generally not required for non-stick surfaces.

4.2 Stovetop Compatibility

The pan features an induction-ready stainless steel base, making it compatible with all stovetops:

• Electric Coil
• Gas
• Smooth Surface Non-Induction
• Induction

4.3 Oven Use

The pan is oven-safe up to 450°F (232°C). Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the pan after oven use, as handles will become hot.

4.4 Steamer Insert Usage

To use the stainless steel steamer insert:

1. Add approximately 1-2 inches of water to the bottom of the cooking pan.
2. Place the steamer insert into the pan, ensuring it sits above the water level.
3. Place desired food items (e.g., vegetables, fish) onto the steamer insert.
4. Cover with the aluminum lid and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle steam until food is cooked to desired tenderness.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Cleaning

• Dishwasher Safe: The pan and steamer insert are dishwasher safe for convenience.
• Hand Washing: For extended life of the non-stick coating, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
• Bamboo Components: The bamboo utensil and trivet should be hand washed and dried immediately. Do not soak or place in the dishwasher.

5.2 Non-Stick Surface Care

• Avoid using metal utensils on the non-stick surface to prevent scratching. Use the included bamboo utensil or other non-metal tools.
• Do not overheat an empty pan. Always add a small amount of oil or food before heating.
• Allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and damage to the non-stick coating.

6. Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is properly conditioned (see Section 3.3). Use a small amount of oil or butter. Avoid excessively high heat, which can degrade non-stick properties over time.
• Uneven Heating: While designed for even heat distribution, ensure your stovetop burner size matches the pan's base as closely as possible. On gas stoves, flames should not extend beyond the base of the pan.
• Discoloration: Minor discoloration may occur over time with regular use, especially if exposed to very high heat. This typically does not affect performance.
