Operating Instructions
Achieving Non-Stick Performance:
While this pan does not have a synthetic non-stick coating, you can achieve excellent non-stick results by following these steps:
- Preheat: Place the empty pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. To test if it's ready, sprinkle a few drops of water into the pan. If the water beads up and dances across the surface, the pan is sufficiently preheated. If it evaporates immediately, the pan is too hot; remove it from heat, let it cool slightly, and try again.
- Add Oil: Once properly preheated, add a thin layer of cooking oil or butter to the pan. Swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
- Cook: Add your food to the pan. Ensure food is at room temperature for best results.

High heat can sometimes cause a rainbow-like discoloration on stainless steel. This is harmless and can often be removed by cleaning with a mixture of white vinegar and water, or a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
