Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the frypans.
2. Wash: Before first use, wash the frypans in warm, soapy water with a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Condition (Optional): For optimal nonstick performance, lightly wipe the interior of the pan with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, canola oil) using a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil. This step helps to maintain the nonstick surface.

Operating Instructions

Heat Settings

• Low to Medium Heat: GreenPan ceramic nonstick cookware is designed for efficient heat distribution. Always use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the nonstick coating over time and is generally not necessary.
• Preheating: Allow the pan to preheat for a few moments on low to medium heat before adding food.

Cooking with Oil

• While the nonstick coating allows for cooking with minimal oil, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to enhance browning.
• Avoid using aerosol cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that may affect the nonstick performance over time.

Utensils

• Use heat-resistant nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils to protect the nonstick surface.
• Avoid using metal utensils, sharp objects, or cutting food directly in the pan, as this can scratch and damage the coating.

Oven Use

• The frypans are oven safe. Refer to the product packaging or GreenPan's official website for specific temperature limits.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• Cool Down: Always allow the frypan to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
• Hand Washing: Hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended for extending the life of the nonstick coating.
• Dishwasher Safe: The frypans are dishwasher safe for convenience. However, frequent dishwasher use may dull the exterior finish over time.
• Stubborn Food Residue: For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning. Avoid using steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the nonstick surface.

Storage

• When storing pans, place a pan protector or a soft cloth between them to prevent scratching the nonstick surface.
• Store in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: If food begins to stick, ensure you are using appropriate heat settings (low to medium) and a small amount of cooking oil. Overheating or using aerosol sprays can degrade the nonstick performance. Thoroughly clean the pan after each use to prevent residue buildup.
• Discoloration: Slight discoloration of the nonstick surface or exterior may occur over time, especially with high heat cooking. This is normal and does not typically affect the pan's cooking performance.
• Warping: To prevent warping, always allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
