To season the pan, wash it with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Then, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the interior surface and heat the pan on low for a few minutes, allowing the oil to be absorbed. Wipe away excess oil before use.
Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they can scratch the surface. If there are stubborn stains, soak the pan in warm soapy water before gently scrubbing.
It is recommended to use wooden, plastic, or silicone utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. Metal utensils can damage the coating over time.
Overheating or using cooking sprays can cause residue build-up that affects the non-stick performance. Clean the pan thoroughly and ensure proper heat settings to maintain the non-stick coating.
Yes, the Cuisinart N61-11 is oven safe up to 500°F. Always ensure to use oven mitts when handling the pan in the oven to prevent burns.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and extend the lifespan of the cookware.
Discoloration can occur from overheating or mineral deposits. To remove, use a mixture of baking soda and water to gently scrub the area, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Avoid exposing the pan to extreme temperature changes, such as rinsing a hot pan in cold water. Allow the pan to cool down gradually before cleaning.
Store the cookware in a dry place with a soft liner between stacked pans to avoid scratching the surface. Hanging the pans is also a good option to prevent damage.
Soak the pan in warm soapy water for a few hours, then use a non-abrasive sponge to scrub the burnt food. For tough residues, simmer a mixture of vinegar and water in the pan before cleaning.
