Take care of your Ceramic Cookware

Effium uses PFAS-free ceramic coatings — healthy, durable, and better for the planet. These pans are versatile and high-performing, but they need a bit more care than traditional nonstick.

Using your pan the right way

1. Start clean. Always begin with a clean, stain-free pan.
2. Preheat briefly on low/medium heat for a few seconds.
3. Add oil or butter — always cook with a bit of fat.
4. Add ingredients and cook like a pro.
5. Avoid overheating. High heat is okay, but don’t overdo it — never leave the pan empty on high heat for long.

Cleaning made simple

1. Clean while warm — not hot, let the pan cool down a bit first.
2. Use warm water only — never rinse a hot pan with cold water.
3. No soap needed for daily cleaning — just a soft sponge or brush.
4. Leave the pan slightly oily — this creates a natural nonstick layer.
5. Towel dry. If done well, the pan is clean, stain-free and lightly oiled. Good to go!

Need a deeper clean?
Use soap if there’s buildup — but it removes the natural oil layer. Reapply by rubbing a drop of oil on the surface after drying.

Good to know

• Stains/discoloration are normal — make sure to clean them after cooking.
• Never cook on a dirty pan — stains will burn in permanently.
• If performance fades, you can recoat your pan at effium.com/recoat and make it like new again.

Do's

• Use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils
• Clean gently but thoroughly
• Cook with oil or butter
• Maintain that natural oil layer

Do not:

• Keep cooking with a dirty pan
• Use metal or sharp tools
• Use dishwasher or harsh detergents
• Overheat the pan or pre-heat empty

Take good care, and your pan will serve you for years of fast, clean, sustainable cooking.
Happy cooking!
