Operating Instructions

• Even Heat Distribution: The 3-ply base with a pure aluminum core ensures rapid and even heat distribution, preventing hot spots for consistent cooking results.
• Stovetop Compatibility: This saucepan is suitable for all stovetops, including gas, electric, and induction. It is not oven safe.
• Built-in Measuring Marks: The interior of the saucepan features convenient measuring marks for easy portion control and recipe accuracy.
• Preheating: For frying, sautéing, or searing, preheat the pan for 1-2 minutes before adding food. Add oil after preheating to prevent sticking and ensure optimal cooking.
• Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat is generally not recommended and should only be used for boiling water.
• Utensils: To protect the surface and ensure long-lasting performance, use silicone or wooden utensils. Avoid sharp or pointed metallic objects.

• Storage: Store your saucepan in a dry place. If stacking, place a soft cloth between pans to prevent scratches.
