Operating Instructions
The AGARO Regency Triply Tope is designed for efficient cooking on various heat sources.
- Heat Source Compatibility: This tope is compatible with both induction cooktops and gas stoves.
- Preheating: For best results, preheat the tope over medium heat for a few minutes before adding oil or food. This allows for even heat distribution.
- Cooking Temperature: Due to its triply construction, the tope heats efficiently. Medium to medium-low heat is often sufficient for most cooking tasks, helping to prevent food from sticking or burning. Avoid using excessively high heat for prolonged periods.
- Lid Usage: Use the stainless steel lid to retain heat and moisture, which can speed up cooking and enhance flavors.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your AGARO Regency Triply Tope.
- Cool Down: Always allow the tope to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
- Washing: Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended. For stubborn food residues, soak the tope in warm soapy water for a while before cleaning.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool, abrasive scrubbers, or harsh chemical detergents, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
- Drying: Dry the tope immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.
- Storage: Store in a dry place. If stacking, place a soft cloth between the tope and other cookware to prevent scratches.

Troubleshooting
- Food Sticking: Ensure the tope is properly preheated before adding food. Use a sufficient amount of cooking oil or liquid. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Discoloration/Stains: High heat or certain foods (e.g., acidic foods) can sometimes cause slight discoloration or rainbow stains on stainless steel. This is normal and does not affect cooking performance. To remove, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water.
- Water Spots: These can occur if the tope is air-dried. To prevent, dry immediately after washing with a soft cloth.
