How to use

Before the first use, wash the saucepan in warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Place the pan on a suitable burner or induction zone that matches the base size for optimal heat efficiency. Use medium to low heat settings to preserve the non-stick coating and prevent overheating. Always use silicone or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the surface. When finished, allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent thermal shock.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your hob size matches the 18cm diameter for best performance
• Check if your storage space accommodates the handle length
• Verify that you have appropriate non-metal utensils for non-stick surfaces

Usage recommendations

For the best longevity of the non-stick surface, avoid using metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Hand washing is recommended to maintain the integrity of the coating over time.
