2. Setup and First Use

Before First Use:

1. Remove all packaging and labels.
2. Wash the pans thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge.
3. Rinse and dry completely.
4. Conditioning (Optional but Recommended): Lightly rub a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil) onto the nonstick surface with a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then let it cool. Wipe off any excess oil. This helps optimize nonstick performance.

Heat Control:

• GreenPan cookware is designed for excellent heat distribution. Always use low to medium heat settings for optimal cooking results and to preserve the nonstick coating.
• High heat is generally not necessary and can damage the nonstick surface over time.

Recommended Utensils:

• While Thermolon coating is metal utensil safe, silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic utensils are recommended to prolong the life of your nonstick coating.

3. Operating Instructions

Cooking:

• Always preheat your pan for about 90 seconds on low to medium heat before adding food.
• Use a small amount of oil or butter for best results, even with nonstick. Avoid cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that may affect nonstick performance.
• The pans are suitable for all stovetops, except induction.
• Oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing for versatile cooking from stovetop to oven.

4. Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning:

• Allow pans to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and thermal shock.
• The pans are dishwasher safe for convenient cleanup.
• For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, nylon brushes, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
• For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.

Storage:

• To protect the nonstick surface, place a pan protector or a soft cloth between pans when stacking them.

5. Troubleshooting

Food Sticking:

• Ensure proper preheating: Always preheat the pan for 90 seconds on low to medium heat before adding food.
• Use a small amount of oil or butter: While nonstick, a little fat helps with food release and flavor.
• Avoid cooking sprays: These can build up residue over time, reducing nonstick effectiveness.
• Check heat settings: Using excessively high heat can damage the nonstick coating and cause food to stick.

Discoloration or Residue Buildup:

• This can occur from using too high heat or cooking sprays. Ensure you are following recommended heat settings and avoiding sprays.
• For stubborn residue, try a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for nonstick cookware.
