Using this non - stick frying pan is easy. First, pre - heat the pan on medium heat before adding oil or food. This helps to maintain the non - stick property. When cooking, use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the non - stick surface. After use, let the pan cool down completely before cleaning. Wash it with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool as they can damage the non - stick coating. Store the pan in a dry place, and if you stack it with other cookware, place a soft cloth between them to prevent scratches.
