USE INSTRUCTIONS

• Ceramic nonstick performs best with a light coating of butter or cooking oil. Food will brown and crisp, and cleanup becomes simpler.
• We recommend silicone, nylon and wooden utensils for use with this pan to protect the nonstick surface. Metal utensils can damage the nonstick.
• Use moderate heat to obtain the most effective heating properties. Excessive heat is damaging to the pan and stove top.
• Never allow cookware to boil dry or leave an empty pan on a hot burner unattended. Pan is for stove top use only.
• Cardamom’s natural wood handles add to its beauty and uniqueness, and require a little extra care. For gas ranges, ensure a low to medium heat setting is used, as excessive heat will damage wooden handles. Flame should never be visible up the sides of the pan.
