How do I properly clean my Demeyere Ceramic Non-Stick Wok Pan?

[StLillian]

To keep your Demeyere Ceramic Non-Stick Wok Pan in top condition and ensure its longevity, follow these cleaning steps:

1. Always let the pan cool completely before cleaning to prevent burns and warping.
2. Wash the pan by hand using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge, brush, or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or bleach, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
3. For optimal results, especially with non-stick pans, hand washing is highly recommended to prolong the product's life and prevent discoloration around the edges.
4. If food residue is not being used for a sauce, allow the pan to cool, then add a small amount of water and dish soap. Let it soak briefly to loosen any stuck-on food for easier cleaning.
5. To maintain the non-stick properties, remove all oil and grease after each use. You can test if your pan is grease-free by wetting it with cold water and holding it vertically. If the water runs off completely, no further cleaning is needed. If water droplets cling to the surface, additional degreasing is required.
6. For stubborn, burnt-on food, soak the pan in soapy water, even overnight if necessary, then gently scrub with a soft cloth, sponge, or brush.
7. If you notice white spots or rainbow discoloration, use a splash of natural vinegar to remove mineral buildup, then wash with hot water and dish soap.
8. Demeyere also offers specialized cleaning products for more challenging cleaning tasks, if needed. By following these cleaning instructions, you will preserve the non-stick functionality and extend the life of your Demeyere Ceramic Non-Stick Wok Pan.
