Care for your coated pan from cooking to putting it away

Put the turner out with the ingredients

Have ingredients and a suitable wooden or silicone turner ready so you are not searching while an empty pan gets hotter. Start with moderate heat and adjust to the food’s browning. Maximum heat is not a universal preheating rule. On gas, keep the flame beneath the base.

After serving, keep it away from the cold tap

1. Put the pan somewhere safe and let it cool. Do not run cold water into a hot pan.
2. Loosen food with lukewarm washing-up water, then clean with a soft sponge.
3. Do not scrape stubborn patches with a knife or metal scourer. Repeat gentle soaking instead.
4. Rinse, dry and then store. Use a dishwasher only according to the individual model’s markings.

Think about bases and lids when storing

When pans are stacked, the upper base rests against the coating below. Separate them with a clean, dry pan protector or soft tea towel. Keep lid rims and loose utensils from rubbing the cooking surface too. Slice food on a chopping board rather than inside the pan.
