How to use

Preheat the sauteuse over medium heat before adding oil or butter to ensure even browning.

Use utensils compatible with stainless steel surfaces to avoid scratching. After cooking, allow the pan to cool slightly, then wash with warm water and mild detergent; for stubborn residues, soak briefly before cleaning.
