• Electric Coil
• Gas
• Smooth Surface Induction

Oven Use:

The pan is oven safe up to 450°F (232°C). Ensure the wooden spatula is removed before placing the pan in the oven.

4. Care and Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Hand Wash Only: The Always Pan 2.0 is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
• For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a short period before cleaning.

Storage:

Store the pan in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between items to prevent scratches.

5. Troubleshooting

Food Sticking:

• Ensure Proper Heat: Always preheat the pan for 1-2 minutes on low to medium heat before adding food and oil.
• Use Enough Oil: While nonstick, a small amount of oil or butter is still recommended for optimal cooking and to prevent sticking.
• Avoid High Heat: Excessive heat can degrade the nonstick coating over time, leading to sticking.
• Clean Thoroughly: Residue buildup can reduce nonstick performance. Ensure the pan is completely clean after each use.

Discoloration:

• Minor discoloration of the nonstick surface can occur over time with regular use, especially with certain foods or high heat. This typically does not affect performance.
