We're sorry to hear about your experience, Danielle. Regular maintenance is very essential to maintain the set's longevity. Here are some cleaning tips: 1) Weekly basic care: After cleaning and drying, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the pan’s interior with a paper towel. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe off excess oil. 2) Monthly deep seasoning: Thoroughly clean and dry the pan. Preheat over low heat for 1 minute, then turn off the heat. When the pan is warm at around 50℃, coat the entire interior with oil. Let it sit for 2-4 hours, then wipe away excess oil. Enhance non-stick performance through proper daily use, gentle cleaning and regular maintenance to protect the ceramic coating while forming a stable oil film.

Here are some tips to help maintain the shining colors and superior nonstick performance of your cookware: When cooking, it is advisable to use low to medium heat. Allow the cookware to cool down to room temperature before washing. While the cookware is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended. Ensure that the cookware is clean inside and outside before each use. Avoid using hard objects on the nonstick surface to prevent damage. To prevent scratching during storage, place a piece of paper towel or a cookware protector between each piece. Please exercise caution when placing the pans on or removing them from any surface. It is crucial to prevent open flames from reaching the walls of the cookware.
