Full details

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the exterior shine and prolong the life of the surface. If you experience food build-up, use a non-abrasive scrubbing pad or a paste of baking soda and water to restore the surface. The pan is fully compatible with all stovetops; for induction cooking, ensure the base is aligned with the center of the zone for maximum efficiency. Always allow the pan to cool completely before submerging it in cold water to prevent thermal shock.
