0 / 6 done

Identify the pan's model, coating type and instructions on dishwashers or metal utensils.
Avoid overheating an empty pan; use low or medium heat as permitted by its maker.
Prefer wood, silicone or nylon tools and never scrape the coating with sharp metal.
Turn off the heat and allow the pan to cool; avoid abrupt cold-water thermal shock.
Handwash with dish soap and a gentle sponge to remove grease film; never scour with steel wool or abrasive powder.
Dry completely and use protectors when stacking. Contact the maker if the coating peels badly or the base warps.
