A good frying pan is an investment — not just in your cooking, but in the quality of the meals you create every day.
ONYX Cookware non-stick frying pans are built to last for years, but like all high-quality cookware, they perform best when treated with care.
Here are our top tips to help you keep your pan looking and working like new, day after day.
1. Before First Use – Give It a Quick Clean
Before using your pan for the first time, wash it with warm water, a small amount of dish soap, and a soft sponge. You can also put it in the dishwasher if you prefer.
Dry it thoroughly with kitchen paper — and you’re ready to cook your first perfect meal.
2. Turn the Heat Down a Little
ONYX Cookware hybrid pans are made from layers of stainless steel and aluminium, which ensure fast and even heat distribution.
That means you don’t need to cook on full power to get great results. The pan heats up quickly and retains heat efficiently.
Tip: Avoid overheating an empty pan, and do not use it in the oven at temperatures above 260°C / 500°F. This protects the coating and extends its lifespan.
3. Metal Utensils Are Welcome
Unlike most traditional non-stick pans, ONYX Cookware hybrid technology allows you to use metal utensils safely — without worrying about scratches.
However, we still recommend avoiding very sharp or pointed tools, just to be safe.
4. Do I Need to Use Oil?
Not really. The advanced non-stick coating allows you to cook with very little or even no oil at all.
Food releases easily, cooks evenly, and cleaning up afterwards is quick and effortless.
It’s practical, healthier, and perfect for everyday use.
5. Let the Pan Cool Before Washing
It might be tempting to rinse a hot pan under cold water, but try to resist. The sudden temperature change can cause the metal to warp slightly, creating an uneven base.
Allow the pan to cool for a few minutes before washing — this small step helps keep it perfectly flat for years to come.
6. How to Clean Your Non-Stick Pan
To maintain the full effect of the non-stick surface, clean your pan after every use.
Food and grease residues can gradually reduce its performance.
The pan is dishwasher safe, but handwashing with warm water and a soft sponge works just as well.
Just make sure there are no moving parts in the dishwasher that could bump into the pan during the cycle — this helps prevent scratches.
How Long Will an ONYX Cookware Pan Last?
That depends on how often you use it and how well you take care of it.
With proper maintenance, an ONYX Cookware frying pan will last significantly longer than a traditional non-stick pan.
And the more you use it, the better it performs — both in efficiency and in the way it feels when you cook.
In Short: Take Care of Your Pan – and It Will Take Care of You
With just a few simple habits, you can preserve your pan’s appearance, performance, and non-stick quality for many years.
That’s what ONYX Cookware is all about: durability, quality, and the joy of cooking with tools you can truly rely on.
