3. Setup & First Use

Before First Use:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all cookware and accessories from the packaging.
2. Wash: Wash all pieces thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse completely and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): While the EverGood™ Ceramic Nonstick Coating is designed for immediate use, a light seasoning can enhance its performance and longevity. Lightly coat the interior cooking surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil). Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. Repeat this process periodically.

Important Notes:

• Do not use aerosol cooking sprays as they can build up and affect the nonstick performance over time.
• Always use low to medium heat settings for optimal cooking and to preserve the nonstick coating. High heat is generally not required due to the efficient heat distribution of aluminum.

4. Operating Instructions

Cooking Guidelines:

• Heat Settings: The aluminum construction ensures quick and even heating. Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the nonstick coating and is rarely necessary.
• Utensils: To protect the EverGood™ Ceramic Nonstick Coating, always use silicone, wood, or nylon utensils. Avoid metal utensils, sharp objects, or abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.
• Oil/Butter: A small amount of oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to enhance browning, even with the nonstick surface.
• Lids: The silicone-rimmed glass lids provide a secure fit, allowing you to monitor cooking progress without lifting the lid, thus retaining heat and moisture.
• Interior Measurement Markings: Some pieces feature convenient interior measurement markings for easy liquid portioning.

5. Care & Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Cool Down: Always allow cookware to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and thermal shock to the nonstick coating.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the nonstick coating, hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. The nonstick surface makes cleanup effortless.
• Dishwasher Safe: While the cookware is dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use may dull the exterior finish over time.
• Stubborn Food: For stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, let it soak for 10-15 minutes, then clean with a soft sponge.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the nonstick surface and exterior finish.

Storage:

• Store cookware carefully to prevent scratching the nonstick surface. Placing a soft cloth or paper towel between stacked pans is recommended.
