FAQs
Is this pan dishwasher safe?
While many ceramic pans are labeled as dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended to extend the lifespan of the non-stick coating.
Can I use metal utensils with this pan?
No, metal utensils can scratch and damage the ceramic coating. We recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon tools.
What is the maximum oven temperature?
While the pan is oven-safe, always refer to the specific temperature limits provided in the product manual, typically around 180-200 degrees Celsius.
Will this work on an induction cooktop?
Yes, this pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops due to its specially designed base.
How do I prevent the ceramic coating from degrading?
Avoid using aerosol cooking sprays, high heat settings, and abrasive cleaning pads. These are the primary causes of premature non-stick degradation.
Troubleshooting
Food is starting to stick to the surface
Ensure you are using a small amount of oil or butter and cooking on low-to-medium heat. Verify the surface is free of burnt-on residue from previous uses.
The pan handle feels loose
Check the rivets or screw points. If necessary, ensure they are tightened, though frequent tightening may indicate the need for a professional assessment or replacement.
Discoloration on the cream exterior
Use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh scouring pads which can permanently damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. While the pan is durable, it is recommended to use only silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to protect the ceramic surface from scratches.
- Compatibility: Works on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops.
- Cleaning: Always allow the pan to cool completely before submerging in water, as thermal shock can warp the metal. Use a soft sponge and mild detergent.
- Storage: If stacking the pan in a cupboard, use a pan protector or a soft cloth between it and other cookware to prevent surface damage.
