Before the first use simply wash your pan in warm, soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth. Rinse in warm water and dry thoroughly. Please remember All-Clad recommends using low to medium heat when using our cookware.
Frying Without Natural Fats:
- Add oil, butter or margarine to the cold pan, just enough to cover the bottom
surface.
- Preheat the pan over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, then add food for cooking.
- If sticking is a problem, check:
- Is your stove level?
- Is your pan clean?
- Is your heat setting too high?
Salt Damage:
To avoid small white dots or pits from forming in your pan bring liquids to a boil or wait until food starts to cook before adding salt. Pitting does not interfer with cooking performance but can diminish the beauty of your pan's interior.
Discoloration:
Overheating can cause brown or blue stains to appear. Food films if not removed will cause discoloration on the pan once it is reheated. Large amounts of iron content in your water may cause your pan to look rusty.
