Configuración y primer uso

1. Limpieza inicial

Before first use, wash your HexClad griddle thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse and dry completely.

2. Initial Seasoning (Recommended)

While HexClad pans are nonstick, a light initial seasoning can enhance performance. Heat the griddle over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes. Add a teaspoon of cooking oil (such as vegetable or canola oil) and spread it evenly over the entire cooking surface with a paper towel. Continue heating for another 30 seconds, then remove from heat and let it cool. Wipe off any excess oil. This process helps to condition the nonstick surface.

The griddle is compatible with all stovetops, including gas, electric coil, and induction. Ensure the griddle is placed on a burner that matches its base size as closely as possible for even heat distribution.

If food residue is difficult to remove, allow the pan to soak in warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes. Then, gently scrub with a sponge or a non-abrasive brush. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can damage the surface.
