FAQs
Is this pan safe for induction cooktops?

Can I put this pan in the oven?

Does the coating contain PFAS?
No, the ceramic coating is crafted without the use of PFAS, offering a cleaner non-stick cooking experience.
Should I use metal utensils?
It is recommended to use silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the integrity and longevity of the non-stick coating.
Is the pan dishwasher safe?
Yes, it is dishwasher-friendly, though hand washing is recommended to keep the exterior finish looking its best.
What is the diameter of the pan?

Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the surface
Ensure the pan is not being overheated, as high heat can degrade non-stick properties over time. Clean with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive pads.
Discoloration on the pan base
This is often caused by mineral deposits from water or residue from the stovetop. Use a mild vinegar solution to gently wipe the base clean.
Handle feels loose
Check the connection point at the base of the handle. If it is a screw-fastened unit, ensure it is tightened properly with a standard screwdriver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using the pan for the first time, wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. The pan is fully compatible with all hob types including induction; simply place the pan centered on the burner that closest matches the 20cm base diameter to ensure optimal energy efficiency.
For care, although the pan is dishwasher-safe, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended to preserve the high-gloss exterior finish and extend the life of the ceramic coating. Avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the surface; silicone or wooden tools are ideal. If the pan requires deep cleaning, soak in warm water before wiping to avoid abrasive scrubbing.
