How to use

• Ensure you have adequate storage space for the pan and its lid

Usage recommendations

To maintain the longevity of the non-stick surface, it is recommended to wash the pan by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent, even though the materials are durable. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool to preserve the integrity of the coating.
