- Pre-use Preparation: Lightly coat the non-stick surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, canola oil) using a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and let it cool. Wipe off any excess oil. This conditions the non-stick surface.

4.2. Cooking with the Crepe Pan
- Preheating: Place the pan on your chosen cooktop over medium-low heat. Allow it to preheat for 1-2 minutes. The non-stick coating performs best with moderate heat.

- Using the Spreader: Immediately use the included wooden spreader to evenly distribute the batter across the pan's surface, creating a thin, uniform layer.
- Cooking: Cook until the edges begin to crisp and the surface shows bubbles. The low edge design facilitates easy flipping.
- Flipping: Use a non-metal spatula to gently lift and flip the crepe. Cook the other side until golden brown.
- Serving: Remove the cooked crepe and repeat the process for additional servings.

- Cool Down: Always allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning to prevent warping and preserve the non-stick coating.
- Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
