Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This set requires no assembly. Simply remove all packaging materials before first use.
Compatibility: The GreenPan Padova Reserve cookware is designed for use on all stovetops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and *induction* cooktops. Ensure the base of the pan is clean and flat for optimal heat transfer, especially on induction surfaces.
Care:
- First Use: Wash the pans with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before the first use.
- Cooking: Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks, as the thick base and reinforced aluminum provide excellent heat retention. Avoid using high heat unless necessary for specific searing.
- Utensils: While the coating is metal utensil safe, using nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils will help prolong the life of the non-stick surface.
- Cleaning: Allow pans to cool before washing. Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For tougher residue, soak the pan in warm water before cleaning. The set is also dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to maintain the longevity of the non-stick coating and aesthetic.
- Storage: Avoid stacking pans directly on top of each other without protection. Use pan protectors or a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
