Atomy Medi-Cook frying pans with ceramic coatings are safe and healthy as they are coated with natural minerals, free from harmful contents such as perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). In addition, they do not contain substances that are harmful for the human body such as lead, cadmium, chromium, and others. On the other hand, fluororesin-coated frying pans can be harmful to humans as shown below. Fluororesin-coated frying pans contain perfluoroalkyl substances, and when the pan's temperature exceeds 200 degrees Celsius, harmful gases are emitted that can be detrimental to human health. (In general, typical frying pans record temperatures exceeding 300 degrees Celsius after heating for about 2 minutes on high heat.) Perfluoroalkyl substances are easily absorbed through the mouth, respiratory tract, and skin, among other routes, and exposure to these substances may lead to the following body abnormalities: (Thyroid hormone abnormalities, weakened immune system, liver cirrhosis, potential of liver cancer, increased risk of birth defects, disruptions in reproductive hormones, brain damage, cerebral hemorrhage, potential of neurogenic diseases, disturbance in lipid metabolism, increased blood cholesterol levels, testicular cancer, etc.)

The 8th Generation Xtrema Coating Method is an advanced ceramic coating technique based on natural minerals, free from PFAS and other perfluoroalkyl substances. This technology was specifically developed and applied for frying pans, marking the first of its kind in Korea. Frying pans coated using the 8th Generation Xtrema Coating Method boast excellent durability and non-stick properties.

Due to the nature of the ceramic coating, non-stick properties may be reduced when exposed to high heat. Please refer to the following application methods for long, non-stick use of ceramic coated pans.

1) Season the pan before use.

※ What is seasoning?

It refers to preheating the pan over low heat before cooking and then applying oil to the entire surface of the pan using a kitchen towel.

2) Due to its high thermal efficiency, using low or medium heat only is recommended. Preheating over low heat before cooking will help maintain non-stick properties for a longer period.

3) Use soft cooking utensils such as wood or silicone to prevent damage to the non-stick coating.

4) Allow the pan to cool before cleaning. Rapid temperature changes can degrade the pan’s performance.

5) Wash with neutral detergent using a soft sponge.

※ Alkaline detergent (baking soda) can degrade non-stick properties.

6) For pans, it's recommended to clean with paper towels using oil instead of frequent water washing.

If you cook foods with strong seasonings, such as curry or chili paste, it is recommended to clean them immediately after use as they may cause color staining on the product.

※ For extreme contamination (left uncleaned for 6 months or longer), add 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda and boil lightly to clean more thoroughly.

(Avoid frequent use of baking soda as it may degrade the functionality of the coating.)

The ceramic coating is made from ingredients that are harmless to the human body, ensuring safety even if ingested. However, if the coating has peeled off, it is recommended to replace the product immediately to avoid potential exposure to aluminum metal.

Atomy Medi-Cook ceramic products have undergone tests for 224 types of high-risk substances (SVHC) and 183 types of PFAS, confirming their safety for your peace of mind.

It is possible; however, to extend the non-stick properties of the coating for a longer period, please apply a small amount of oil and use over medium heat.

If it is made of silicone, some silicone powder may be present. Please clean it thoroughly before use. Silicone is harmless to the human body, so you can use it with confidence.

Please check the product for any issues before use and remove all attached stickers. Before use, clean thoroughly with mild detergent in lukewarm water, and after washing, dry completely using a kitchen towel or dry cloth for storage. Please avoid using iron scrubbers, scrub pads with abrasives (blue scrub pads), magic cleaners, and bleach, as they can damage the coating. Cleaning or soaking the pan in hot water while it's still hot after cooking may also damage the coating, so please allow it to cool sufficiently before cleaning. Using warm water and thoroughly rinsing the pan after soaking can clean it without damaging the coating. Please do not use a dishwasher to clean the product. (Strong alkaline detergents for dishwashers can harm the coating.) When storing frying pans in a stack, please use covers or cloths to prevent scratches caused by rubbing together.

If you cook foods with strong seasonings, such as curry or chili paste, we recommended cleaning them immediately after use as they may cause color staining on the product.

※ In case of extreme contamination, baking soda can be applied to the product and then rubbed to clean it more thoroughly.

(Avoid frequent use of baking soda as it may degrade the functionality of the coating.)

Glass lids are designed with a stainless steel rim inserted into the glass edge, so there may be slight gaps. During cooking, steam may escape through tiny gaps, causing a bubbling sound.

The heat resistance is up to 180 degrees Celsius. If the gas stove flame is strong enough to produce flames outside the burner, it may cause the handle to burn. During cooking, please adjust the stove to medium heat or lower to ensure that flames do not touch the handle.

Due to the nature of detachable handles, there may be looseness or gaps caused by deformation due to heat. In such cases, tightening the handle again may improve stability and reduce looseness.
