Before initial use, clean by hand or in a dishwasher and ensure it is thoroughly dried. The pan's advanced non-stick coating allows for safe use with various utensils, including metal spatulas. Avoid using on stovetops, in microwaves, or near open flames. Refrain from using sharp objects like knives or abrasive cleaning tools. Not suitable for long-term food storage. Follow recipe guidelines for greasing and flouring. Non-stick sprays can be used, though they may cause slight discolouration, which does not impact performance. For optimal longevity, use with flour-based recipes such as pastries and breads, and check for doneness at the minimum baking time.
