Before first use -- Uncoated Remove all packaging and labels. Wash the pan in hot, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Your pan is now ready to be used and does not require any further preparation. When frying in an uncoated pan, season the food only after searing on the hot surface. Turn food only when the surface has seared and is easily released. Reduce the temperature after searing. Before first use -- Nonstick Before using for the first time it is beneficial to condition the nonstick surface. Rub a film of cooking oil over the surface. Heat the pan for two minutes over a medium setting, then cook and rinse with hot water. Dry thoroughly. When frying in a nonstick-coated pan for the first time, or after the pan has been cleaned in the dishwasher, prepare the pan as follows: 1. Add enough oil to cover the base of the pan. 2. Heat the oil gently and turn the pan to cover the side walls. 3. Remove the pan from the heat, let it cool, and clean it with a paper towel. 4. Add some more oil, fat or butter, and begin cooking as normal. 5. Season the food only after searing on the hot surface. 6. Turn food only when the surface has seared and it easily released. 7.
