Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pan
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding ingredients. Use sufficient cooking oil or fat. Avoid using metallic utensils that can scratch the non-stick surface. If the non-stick properties have diminished, the enamel coating may be damaged.
Uneven cooking
Make sure the heat source is centered under the pan and the heat is distributed evenly. For gas or open flame, adjust the flame to cover the base of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat fully before adding food.
Pan arrived damaged or with imperfections
Inspect the pan upon arrival. Contact the retailer immediately with details and photos if you notice any chips, cracks, or significant imperfections in the enamel coating.
Discoloration of the enamel
Some discoloration can occur over time, especially with high heat or certain ingredients. This is usually cosmetic. Clean as recommended. For significant discoloration that affects performance, consider it a sign of wear.
