How to use
To use the Zilner ZL-2408, place the pan on a burner and preheat it over medium heat. Once the pan is sufficiently warm, lightly grease the surface if necessary.

- Consider the storage space required for a 28cm diameter pan
Usage recommendations
For the best results, avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the surface. Use silicone or wooden tools to preserve the pan's coating and ensure longevity. Always allow the pan to cool down gradually before washing to prevent thermal shock.
