How do you use a ceramic pan?
Before use
You should wash the pan with some dish soap and a soft sponge or brush before use. After that, dry the pan and place it on the stove with a bit of oil. Have the oil heat up slowly. The oil is hot when it's bubbling. Turn off the stove and let the oil cool off all the way. Finally, rinse the pan with water and dry it. The pan is now ready for use.
While preparing
A ceramic non-stick coating is resistant to temperatures up to 400℃. It's not necessary to set the heat to a high temperature. Ceramic distributes the heat evenly and retains it well. This way, you can switch to a lower setting when the pan is at the right temperature. The ceramic non-stick coating is very smooth. This makes it seem like you don't need butter or oil. We do recommend that you use this, as you'll burn the ingredients without butter or oil.
Difference between ceramic and other coatings
A ceramic non-stick coating is a lot smoother than a standard non-stick coating. This means that cooking with a ceramic pan takes some getting used to. You'll notice this when you prepare potatoes. It takes longer for the outside to be crispy, while the inside is already cooked. To get a good understanding of how to use the pan, we recommend frying an egg a few times. Experiment with the amount of butter or oil and with the temperature.
Maintenance of a ceramic pan
Use silicone or wooden kitchen utensils to prevent scratches and damage to the non-stick coating. After use, you can clean the pan by hand. Let the pan cool off or rinse it with warm water. Clean grease and food rests with some dish soap and a soft sponge or brush. Dry the pan with a kitchen towel afterwards. Did the pan discolor? Boil some water with vinegar to make it squeaky clean again.
