Care and Use Instructions

1) Important Safeguards

Read all safety information carefully and thoroughly before using this product!

Do not allow children near the stove while you cook.
To avoid injury always use caution when handling hot pots.
Never leave cookware unattended while in use.
Do not allow handles to extend over a hot burner.
Make sure the handles do not extend over the edge of the cooking surface.
The handles of your cookware are constructed to minimize heat transfer. Cover and
handles may become hot during prolonged cooking. Use caution when removing
covers or lifting with the handles. Touch lightly to be sure the handles have not
become hot. Use oven mitts or potholders if necessary.
Always use oven gloves when removing pans from a hot oven.
Where Bakelite handles are fitted, always check their temperature resistance before
using in an oven.

Thermolon
TM
non-stick coating is completely PTFE-free and heat resistant up to
450°C/850°F, where the normal PTFE coating is only heat resistant up to
260°C/500°F. Thermolon
TM
non-stick coating releases no toxic fumes.


2) Usage Guide

Before First Use:

Remove all labels.
Wash in hot soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
Season the inside of the pan smearing the non-stick surface with a little oil on a tissue
or cloth. This process should be repeated from time to time.

Cooking:

Recommendations in order not to warp your GreenPan
TM
product:
When sautéing, stir-frying or frying, always preheat the pan at the temperature setting
youll use to cook.
Do not preheat on high to heat the pans faster. While using cooking techniques such
as sautéing, stir frying, or frying preheat at medium to medium-high. This will make
sure your food begins cooking or frying properly as soon as you place it in the pan.
Do not leave your cookware on a hot burner for longer than is necessary for it to reach
the proper cooking temperature, or allow the pan to boil dry.
Recommendations for energy saving and best cooking and frying results:
Cook on a burner that is close to the base diameter of the pan you have selected.
When cooking on gas, adjust the flame so it does not flare up the sides of the pan.
Use high heat for boiling and reducing liquids.
Use medium-high heat for searing, sautéing, frying and stir-frying.
Use low heat to warm foods, simmer or prepare delicate sauces.
For energy saving, do not use your dishwasher to clean your cookware.

Recommendations for best food release:
Always start with a clean pan. Wash carefully and be sure youve removed all traces of
cooking oil and food before you store your pan.
Remove food from the refrigerator 10 minutes before you intend to cook or fry.
Remember to pre-heat your pan and allow the oil to heat for a minute before you add
food to the pan.
What can you do if food starts to stick? As long as the surface of the cookware has
been properly seasoned and cared for, food should not stick.

Cooking oil and butter:
Remember, some oils and fats burn at low temperatures.
We suggest you use the Butter test: Heat the pan over medium to medium-high heat
and then put a small amount of butter in the pan. When the butter begins to bubble
briskly (it should not brown), the pan is ready to use. If the butter begins to burn and
turn brown, the heat setting is too high. Carefully wipe the burned butter out of the pan
with a paper towel, lower the heat and begin again.
Fats and oils work in various temperature ranges. We recommend olive oil; its
healthier and has a relatively high burn point.
With non-stick cookware, you may want to use oil or fat for added crispness, colour or
flavour. It is not necessary to use cooking oil for easy food release.
Allow the oil to heat for a minute before adding food to the pan. If you prefer using
aerosol sprays, we recommend that you spray the food, not the pan. These sprays
cause residue build-up that is difficult to remove from cookware.

Utensils:
Metal utensils may cause scratching. Plastic, rubber, or wood utensils are
recommended to prolong the life of the pan.
Do not cut food with a sharp knife while it is in the pan.

3) Care and Cleaning:

Allow pan to cool and then clean thoroughly after each use. Always allow your pan to
cool before washing. Putting a hot pan in water can cause irreparable warping.
Your GreenPan
TM
product is very easy and convenient to clean. In the case of
dishwasher use, the non-stick properties of all ceramic-type non-stick coatings may
slowly start to fade after many cycles of washing. Hence, to preserve your pan at its optimum we recommend that you simply wash it in warm soapy water with a soft cloth.
Rinse and dry with a towel.
Do NOT use steel wool or nylon scrubbing pads. For best results, clean with a cloth or
soft sponge.
Do NOT use oven cleaner or any cleaner that is abrasive or contains chlorine bleach.
Do not gouge the non-stick coating.
Food film, if not removed, may cause discoloration on the pan when reheated. If this
occurs, simply heat some white vinegar in the pan (avoid breathing the vinegar fumes)
and clean as normal. Then re-season.

Slight surface marks and discolorations are
normal and will not affect the performance of the coating.
Halogen and ceramic stovetops Take care to ensure that your stovetop and your
GreenPan
TM
product is kept free from debris so as not to scratch the ceramic surface.
