FAQs
Can this pan be used in the oven?
The pan is primarily designed for stovetop use; check the underside stamp for specific oven-safe temperature ratings before putting it in the oven.
Is it safe to use metal spatulas?
No, it is highly recommended to use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to protect the Xylan Plus coating from scratches.
Does it work on induction hobs?
Yes, the Bistro series is specifically engineered for compatibility with all stovetops, including induction.
How should I store this pan?
Store it in a dry place. If stacking, use a pan protector or a paper towel between pans to preserve the non-stick surface.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
While some parts might be dishwasher safe, hand washing is strongly advised to extend the life of the non-stick coating.
What is the benefit of the deep wall design?
The deeper walls provide extra capacity and help contain splatters, making it easier to cook sauces and larger family meals.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the pan
Ensure you are using a small amount of oil or butter and verify that the heat setting is not too high, which can carbonize food.
The handle feels slightly loose
Check the screw on the underside of the handle and gently tighten it with a compatible screwdriver.
Exterior finish shows spots
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of water and vinegar to gently buff out mineral deposits or water stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Before the first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. It is recommended to lightly condition the surface with a small amount of cooking oil to prime the non-stick coating.
Compatibility: This pan works seamlessly across all heat sources. If using an induction hob, ensure the pan is centered on the burner for maximum efficiency.
Care Instructions:
- Allow the pan to cool completely before submerging in water to avoid thermal shock.
- Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent.
- Avoid stacking the pan with other metal pots unless a protective pad is placed between them to prevent scratching.
