FAQs

Is this pan truly non-stick?

Yes, the pan features a high-performance non-stick coating designed for easy food release and simplified cleaning. However, like all non-stick surfaces, it benefits from proper care and the use of appropriate utensils.

Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

It is strongly recommended to use only wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to protect the non-stick coating from scratches and maintain its performance over time.

Is the URBN-CHEF Hextec pan dishwasher safe?

While the pan is durable, handwashing with mild soap and a soft sponge is recommended to prolong the life and effectiveness of the non-stick coating. Dishwasher detergents can be harsh over time.

What does 'Tri-Ply' mean?

Tri-Ply construction means the pan is made of three layers, typically stainless steel encasing an aluminum or copper core. This design enhances heat conductivity and distribution for more even cooking.

Will this pan work on my induction cooktop?

Yes, this URBN-CHEF Hextec frying pan is specifically designed to be compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.

How do I maintain the non-stick surface?

Avoid using abrasive cleaners or metal utensils, preheat the pan gently, use medium heat for cooking when possible, and clean it promptly after use with a soft sponge.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the pan

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Check that the non-stick surface has not been damaged by abrasive cleaning or utensils.

Uneven cooking or hot spots

Verify that the pan is centered on the heat source. Ensure the stovetop is level. The tri-ply construction should minimize hot spots with proper heat management.

Discoloration of the surface

This can sometimes occur due to overheating or mineral deposits from water. Try cleaning with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel or non-stick surfaces.

Pan wobbles on the stovetop

Ensure the stovetop surface is clean and level. A slight instability might be inherent to the pan's design or due to the stovetop's heating element.
