How to use

Preheat the pan briefly over medium heat before adding ingredients to ensure even cooking. Use a small amount of oil or butter if desired; the non-stick surface allows minimal fat usage. Cook eggs, small portions or sauces with moderate heat to preserve the coating and avoid overheating. Use silicone, wooden or plastic utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. After use, allow the pan to cool slightly, then wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive cleaners and metal scouring pads.

Recommendations

To prolong the life of the non-stick surface, avoid using high heat for extended periods and do not leave an empty pan on a heated burner. Store the pan in a way that prevents metal utensils or pans from rubbing against the cooking surface. Regular gentle cleaning after each use preserves performance and food safety.
