How to Use
Wash Before Use
Remove sticker/label. Remove any adhesive with baby or vegetable
oil. Before using pan for the first time, wash in hot water with a mild
soap or detergent, rinse in clear water and dry. Do not wash in a
dishwasher.
Seasoning
It is not necessary to season the pan. If, however, you plan to
cook food which tends to stick such as fried eggs without any oil or
butter for the first use or before you have cooked with oil in the pan,
seasoning will assist release of the food.
To season: rub
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vegetable oil over the clean nonstick surface using a
paper napkin or clean cotton cloth. Wipe off oil with a paper napkin
or clean cotton cloth. Wash and dry pan.
Suitable Heat Sources
High temperatures will shorten the life of the nonstick and may
destroy it. Use pan only on domestic gas, electric or halogen stoves in
which the temperature can be regulated to low and medium heat.
Use a burner to suit the size of your pan – gas flames should not lick
the sides of the pan. Use low to medium heat. Use high heat only to
boil liquids.
Limit Preheating of Pan
Some foods require preheating of the pan. Foods such as
pancakes, besan poora and uttapam require the pan to be at a certain
temperature before you cook the first batch.
When preheating the cold empty pan (with or without oil)
before beginning to cook, it is critical that THE HEAT IS NO
MORE THAN MEDIUM and the time is strictly limited as
follows:
Frying Pan Maximum Preheating Time
22 cm 3 MINUTES
26 cm and 30 cm 4 MINUTES
The actual time required for preheating for best cooking results
may be less, depending on the food being cooked and your burner.
Overheating can occur quickly if the pan is left on the heat without
food or water so NEVER keep the pan empty on the heat once it is
hot.
Avoid Overheating: Check Your Burner
If food is smoking or burning, reduce heat. Using medium or
lower heat and limiting the time the empty pan is heating are the
basic techniques to avoid overheating.
The pan can overheat even on medium heat if the burner is
providing excessive heat
. To check if your burner can overheat
even on medium heat, place clean pan on medium heat. Heat pan for
2 minutes. Press one finger firmly into whole wheat flour (
atta ). Do
not pinch. Flick from a distance of about 2

inch/6 cm a small, fine,
even dusting of flour on centre of pan and immediately begin
counting off seconds (“one second, two second, three second” etc.)
while watching the flour. The time the flour takes to become dark
brown gives a rough indication of how hot the pan is. As long as flour
has not turned dark brown in 15 seconds, the pan is not overheated.
