FAQs
Can I use metal utensils with this pan?
While the coating is durable, it is highly recommended to use silicone or wooden utensils to prevent surface scratches and maintain the non-stick performance over time.
Is the handle oven-safe?
Yes, both the main handle and the helper handle are constructed to be heat-resistant and safe for use in ovens up to 260°C.
Does it require seasoning before use?
No, this pan does not require seasoning. It is ready for use immediately after a quick initial wash.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to keep the non-stick surface in optimal condition for longer.
What is the diameter of the pan?
The pan has a diameter of 28cm, which is suitable for standard family-sized portions.
Troubleshooting
Food is starting to stick to the surface
Ensure the pan is clean and free of carbonized food residue. Try gently cleaning with a soft sponge and mild soap, or check if the heat settings are too high, which can burn oils onto the coating.
The pan has white stains or lime scale
This is often caused by mineral deposits from tap water. Wipe the pan with a cloth dampened with a little lemon juice or white vinegar, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
