Care and Cleaning:
To maintain the non-stick properties and longevity of the ceramic coating:
- Cooking: Use low to medium heat for best results. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface; opt for silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils.
- Cleaning: Allow the pan to cool before washing. It is dishwasher-friendly for convenience. For best results and to prolong the life of the coating, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Storage: Store the pan carefully to prevent scratching the interior surface. Using pan protectors or hanging the pan can help.
