Proper use and temperature control help prevent food from sticking, minimise warping and maintain optimal cooking performance.

Before First Use

1. Remove all labels and packaging.
2. Wash with warm, soapy water using a sponge 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 food to stick or the cookware to warp.
• Preventing Food from Sticking: Preheat your cookware until a few drops of water form beads that glide across the surface. Allow food to develop a crust before turning for easier release. Always thaw frozen food before cooking to prevent warping.
• Cooking with Salt: Always add salt to boiling water rather than cold water to prevent salt pitting on the stainless steel surface, which is not covered under warranty.

Thorough cleaning after every use helps prevent food and oil residue build-up, maintaining the cookware's appearance and optimal cooking 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 sponge or nylon brush to remove all food and oil residue.
3. Rinse, dry thoroughly and store.

Removing Burnt-On Food: Allow the cookware to cool, then partially fill with water and dishwashing liquid. Heat over medium heat until the burnt-on residue loosens. Allow to cool again, then wash thoroughly following the routine cleaning instructions.

Removing Heat Discolouration & Stains: Blue, brown or rainbow-like marks caused by heat are generally cosmetic and do not affect cooking performance. To remove them, mix SCANPAN Stainless Steel Cleaner or 2 tablespoons of baking soda with water to form a paste. Gently rub with a soft, non-abrasive cloth, then wash thoroughly, rinse and dry.

Dishwasher Care

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