Care
- Before first use: Remove all packaging and peel off any labels, then wash with hot soapy water and a soft cloth before first use.
- Heat setting: Always cook on medium heat, even for browning or searing. This pan conducts heat efficiently enough that high heat gives no real benefit and is the single biggest cause of non-stick coatings failing early.
- Preheating: Never leave the pan heating empty for more than a minute or two, or unattended, since an empty pan overheats far faster than one with food or oil in it.
- Utensils: We recommend silicone or wooden utensils. Avoid metal utensils, sharp implements like knives, or electric blenders in the pan, since even a single careless scrape can permanently damage the coating.
- Glass hobs: Avoid dragging the pan across a glass-topped hob.
- Oven use: Use an oven shelf rather than placing the pan directly on the oven floor. Use oven gloves when removing pans from the oven.
- Washing: We recommend handwashing in hot soapy water after every use, rather than the dishwasher, to protect the coating and help it last.
- Stubborn stains: Soak in warm soapy water before washing rather than using abrasive cleaners or metal scourers.
