Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the bottom
Ensure the pan is properly preheated over medium heat before adding oil and ingredients.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, wash the casserole in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues. While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge is highly recommended to preserve the polished finish. Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive cleaners which can scratch the stainless steel. When cooking, always match the burner size to the base of the pan to prevent handle overheating and energy loss. For stuck-on food, soak the pan in warm water for a few minutes before scrubbing. If the pan develops heat-related discoloration or mineral deposits, a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a vinegar-and-water solution will help restore the original shine.
