Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pan
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated and a small amount of oil or cooking fat is used. Avoid using excessive heat, which can degrade the non-stick coating over time. Check for any scratches on the non-stick surface.
Uneven heating
Verify that the pan is centered on the hob and that the hob's heat output matches the pan size. Ensure the base of the pan is clean and flat.
Lid rattling
This is normal due to the steam vent. Ensure the lid is properly seated on the rim of the pan.
