How to Clean
Wash After Every Use
Taking care to protect your hand from the hot pan with sufficient
paper or cloth, wipe off residual oil with a paper napkin or muslin
cloth from hot pan immediately after cooking. Doing so makes
cleaning very much easier. Allow pan and lid to cool before washing.
Always wash all surfaces of pan and lid thoroughly
after every
use
in hot water with a mild soap or detergent and a dishcloth or
sponge. Dry glass lid thoroughly with a soft clean cloth. Do not wash
pan in a dishwasher. The glass lid may be washed in a dishwasher
but this may dull the finish. For stubborn spots on the
nonstick
surface
, soak pan in hot water about 10 minutes and rub with a
non-abrasive plastic scrubber – never use steel wool, coarse or metallic
scouring pads or abrasive detergents. When cleaning the pan, ensure
that the nonstick coating is not gouged or rubbed against any hard or
sharp surface. While cleaning, keep a folded kitchen cloth or a piece
of any other soft material such as rubber or sponge underneath the
pan to avoid damaging the pan.
Wash wooden spatula in hot water with a mild soap or detergent,
rinse and dry immediately – do not soak.
Metallic marks – most often from gas stove pan supports – may
appear on the hard anodised base. To remove metallic marks from
base: apply a kitchen cleanser, such as 'Vim', to the marks and rub with
an abrasive kitchen scrubber, such as 'Scotch-Brite' or fine steel wool.
Avoid "Baked-On" Food/Stains
If pan is not cleaned thoroughly, a thin layer of food or grease
may remain. When the pan is heated next, this food/grease becomes
"baked-on" and very difficult to remove. "Baked-on" food and the
stains from "baked-on" food may be impossible to remove without
damaging the pan.
If you get "baked-on" food/stains, you may try the following
methods (knowing that the pan surface may get damaged):
On the Hard Anodised (Exterior Surface):
Make a thick paste
of a cleaning powder such as 'Vim' and apply it to the "baked-on"
food/stain. Wait 5 to 10 minutes. Scour with steel wool using a
circular motion. Wash.
On the Nonstick (Interior Surface):
Make a thick paste of a
cleaning powder such as 'Vim' and apply it to the "baked-on"
food/stain. Wait 5 to 10 minutes. Scour with a plastic scrubber using
a circular motion. Wash.
