Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the pan.

Ensure the pan is preheated properly before adding food. Use a little oil or butter. Avoid using high heat for extended periods.

The non-stick coating is scratched.

Avoid using metal utensils. Use wooden, nylon, or silicone utensils. If scratches occur, the non-stick properties may be compromised. Consider using the pan for foods that don't easily stick.

Uneven heating.

Ensure the pan is in direct contact with the heat source. For induction cooktops, make sure the pan is centered on the burner. If using a gas stove, adjust the flame so it doesn't extend beyond the base of the pan.

Handles get too hot.

Use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the pan, especially when used on the stovetop for extended periods or in the oven.
