Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pan
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Verify that non-metal utensils are being used and that food is not being cut on the surface.
Uneven cooking or hot spots
Ensure the stovetop burner is appropriately sized for the pan. Allow the pan to preheat fully and evenly before adding food. For stovetops with significant hot spots, rotate the pan periodically.
Discoloration of the enamel
This can sometimes occur with high heat or certain foods. Try cleaning with a paste of baking soda and water. Ensure adequate preheating and avoid excessively high heat for prolonged periods without food in the pan.
Rust spots appearing
Though enamel coated, cast iron can rust if left wet. Ensure the pan is dried thoroughly immediately after hand washing. Minor rust spots can often be removed with a gentle scrub and mild soap, followed by immediate drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This griddle pan is ready to use straight out of the box, as the enamel coating means no initial seasoning is required. It is compatible with most stovetops, including gas, electric, and induction. For oven use, ensure the oven is preheated to the desired temperature, not exceeding 500°F (260°C). Always use wooden, nylon, or silicone utensils when cooking to avoid scratching the enamel surface. Do not use metal utensils and do not cut food directly on the pan surface, as this can damage the coating. After use, allow the pan to cool down completely before cleaning. Wash the pan by hand using warm water and mild dish soap. A non-abrasive sponge can be used for stubborn residue. Dry thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent rust, even with the enamel coating. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
