How to care?

With proper care, such utensils will last in your kitchen from 2 to 4 years. Let's figure out how to care for such a pan:

• It is best to buy such products from trusted manufacturers. Having bought a cheap Chinese fake, you simply throw money away - such products have a very thin layer of non-stick coating that erases very quickly.
• Having bought a new kitchen utensil, first of all, wash it thoroughly with dishwashing gel and dry it with a towel, brush it with a small amount of vegetable oil and leave for several hours.
• Such dishes do not like temperature changes. It is not recommended to put it after a refrigerator on a large fire, lower it in hot form in cold water, spread frozen products on its hot surface. The ceramic coating may burst due to temperature changes, or this will lead to the formation of small cracks, and the food will start to burn. And the question will be how to restore the non-stick coating of the pan.
• Ceramic pans should not be heated empty. In general, they are recommended to cook food over medium heat.
• Food should be mixed with wooden or silicone shovels. Metal appliances may scratch the surface of the utensil.
• It is impossible to clean the pan with abrasive substances, hard brushes, otherwise - you will lose the main advantage of the product, its non-stick layer.
• It is not recommended to wash such products in a dishwasher, but if you still decide, then only at an average water temperature.
• To preserve the ceramic coating for a longer period, it is recommended to rub the surface of the vessel with oil 1-2 times a month and leave it in this form for a day.
