Proper use and temperature control help preserve the non-stick coating and maintain optimal cooking performance.

Before First Use

1. Remove all labels and packaging.
2. Wash with warm, soapy water using a scouring pad or nylon brush.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly before use.

During Use

• Avoid excessive heat: Preheat your cookware over medium heat for a few minutes. Avoid frying at the highest heat setting, as excessive heat is unnecessary and may cause oil to burn onto the non-stick coating, reducing its performance and potentially damaging the surface over time.
• Avoid aerosol cooking sprays: These sprays can leave a residue that builds up over time and affects non-stick performance. Use regular cooking oil or butter instead.

Thorough cleaning after every use helps prevent food and oil residue build-up, preserving the cookware's non-stick performance.

Routine Cleaning

1. Allow the cookware to cool for approximately 5 minutes before washing. Avoid sudden temperature changes, which may cause warping.
2. Wash thoroughly with warm water, dishwashing liquid and a scouring pad or nylon brush to remove all food and oil residue.
3. Rinse, dry thoroughly and store.

Removing Food & Oil Residue Build-Up

If food begins to stick or the non-stick surface becomes less effective, accumulated food and oil residue may be the cause.

1. Mix bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) with water to form a thick liquid.
2. Pour the mixture into the cookware, covering the affected surface.
3. Simmer over low to medium heat for approximately 10 minutes.
4. Allow the cookware to cool, then wash thoroughly with warm water, dishwashing liquid and a scouring pad or nylon brush to remove any remaining residue.
5. Rinse, dry thoroughly and store.

Dishwasher Care

Although many SCANPAN non-stick products are dishwasher-safe, handwashing is recommended to help prolong their lifespan. Always refer to the specific product's care instructions.
