Troubleshooting
Pan is not heating on induction cooktop
Ensure the pan is centered on the induction zone and that the cooktop is set to a compatible power level. Verify that the pan's magnetic base is clean and free of debris.
Food is sticking to the pan
Ensure adequate cooking fat (oil or butter) is used before adding food. Preheating the pan on medium heat before adding ingredients can also help prevent sticking. Avoid overheating the pan.
Discoloration of the pan surface
Minor discoloration can occur with high heat. Use a mild cleaning agent specifically designed for cookware, or a paste of baking soda and water, to gently clean the affected area. Always follow with proper drying.
