Initial Cleaning:

Before first use, wash the pan and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth. While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended for the first clean to ensure all manufacturing residues are removed.

Pre-Seasoning (Optional but Recommended):

Although the pan features a no-coating nonstick surface, a light pre-seasoning can enhance its natural nonstick properties, especially for delicate foods like eggs.

1. Heat the pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until warm.
2. Add a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., canola, grapeseed, or avocado oil) to coat the cooking surface.
3. Carefully wipe out any excess oil with a paper towel.
4. Allow the pan to cool completely before storing.

3. Operating Instructions

Stovetop Use:

• Heat Management: The pan heats quickly and retains heat efficiently due to its aluminum core. Use medium to medium-high heat for most cooking. High heat can be used for searing, but always preheat the pan adequately.
• Preheating: For best nonstick performance, especially with eggs or delicate foods, preheat the pan for 1-3 minutes before adding food. A few drops of water should sizzle and evaporate quickly when the pan is ready.
• Oil/Fat: While the pan is nonstick, a small amount of oil or fat is recommended for flavor and to aid in browning.
• Compatibility: Suitable for all cooktops, including gas, electric coil, and smooth surface induction.

Oven Use:

The Titanium Always Pan Pro is oven safe up to 1000°F (535°C), allowing for seamless transition from stovetop to oven. This makes it ideal for finishing dishes, baking, or roasting.

Using the Modular Lid:

The domed lid is designed to lock in steam when needed or release it by aligning the steam vent with the handle. An arrow on the lid indicates the correct alignment for steam release.

Using the Beechwood Spatula:

The included Beechwood Spatula is designed to nest perfectly on the pan's handle, eliminating the need for a separate spoon rest and minimizing mess. The pan's titanium interior is durable enough for use with metal utensils, but the wooden spatula is recommended for general use.

Versatile Cooking Applications:

This pan is engineered for a wide array of cooking tasks:

• Frying & Sautéing: Excellent for stir-fries, vegetables, and pan-fried dishes.
• Searing: Achieve perfect crusts on meats and fish.
• Braising: Its depth allows for slow-cooked, tender dishes.
• Steaming: Compatible with optional steamer accessories (sold separately).
• Boiling: Sufficient capacity for boiling pasta or small batches of liquids.
• Baking & Roasting: Use in the oven for casseroles, frittatas, or roasted vegetables.

4. Maintenance and Care

Cleaning:

• Dishwasher Safe: The Titanium Always Pan Pro is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
• Hand Washing: For optimal longevity and to maintain its appearance, hand washing is recommended. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or the included cleaning brush.
• Stubborn Residue: The titanium interior is designed to withstand abrasive cleaning methods, including steel wool, for deep and thorough cleaning. For best results, clean the pan soon after cooking.
• Exterior Care: The polished stainless steel exterior may show fingerprints and smudges but cleans easily with a soft cloth and mild cleaner.

Storage:

Store the pan in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, consider using pan protectors to prevent scratches to the exterior finish.

5. Troubleshooting

Food Sticking:

• Inadequate Preheating: Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. The nonstick properties are most effective when the pan reaches the correct temperature.
• Insufficient Fat: While the pan is nonstick, a small amount of cooking oil or fat is still recommended, especially for foods like eggs or pancakes, to prevent sticking and enhance browning.
• Textured Surface: The pan has a textured titanium surface. While excellent for searing, some delicate foods like pancakes may not slide as easily as on traditional smooth nonstick coatings. Adjust cooking methods or use a bit more fat if needed.

Lid Handle Gets Hot:

• The metal knob on the lid can become hot during cooking. Always use a pot holder or oven mitt when handling the lid to prevent burns.

Cleaning Difficulties:

• If food residue is difficult to remove, try soaking the pan in warm, soapy water for a short period. The pan's titanium interior is robust enough to be cleaned with the included brush or even steel wool for stubborn spots.
