- Cleaning: Clean the pan regularly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before placing it back in the microwave.
- Stubborn Stains: For stubborn food residues, allow the pan to soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning. Avoid using abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the pan's surface.
