Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the pan.
Ensure the pan is properly preheated on medium heat before adding food. Verify that cooking oil or fat is used appropriately for the cooking method. Check for any scratches or damage to the non-stick coating. If the pan is older, the non-stick properties may have diminished.
The handle feels loose.
Check if the handle screw needs tightening. If it's a permanent fixture and feels unstable, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Uneven cooking.
Ensure the stovetop burner is appropriately sized for the pan base and that the pan is centered. Clean the induction base if using an induction hob, as debris can affect heat transfer.
Discoloration of the non-stick surface.
Discoloration can sometimes occur from overheating or residue buildup. Try cleaning with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner or a specialized non-stick pan cleaner. Avoid using harsh scouring pads.
