When it may not be suitable

How to use

Before the first use, wash the pan in warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Place the pan on a burner that matches the size of the base to ensure even heat distribution. Use medium heat settings for most cooking tasks to protect the non-stick surface. Always use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the coating. After cooking, allow the pan to cool down completely before submerging it in water or placing it in the dishwasher.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 26 cm diameter meets your typical portion size requirements.
• Verify that your stovetop is compatible with aluminium cookware.
• Consider your preference for hand washing versus machine washing for non-stick surfaces.

Usage recommendations

To maintain the integrity of the non-stick coating, avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads. Using a small amount of oil or butter during cooking will further enhance the non-stick properties and extend the lifespan of the pan.
