Question 1

can I use olive oil to cook inthe pan?

Accepted Answer

When using pans with a non-stick layer, less oil or butter is needed. Please remember that olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, butter and oil sprays quickly start to smoke and burn when the pan is hot. This causes carbonization of the pan, which can damage the non-stick layer. Another consideration if using (expensive) oil, is that it will turn your healthy fats into unhealthy/saturated fats. Avoid using them in combination with a ceramic non-stick pan. 
We recommend using refined (preferably organic) oils suited for frying with high resistance. Peanut oil or Avocado oil are good oils to start with.
Unrefined oils such as Virgin and extra virgin olive oils, however healthy they might be, are not suitable for frying because even at relatively low temperatures they smoke and burn. This is not just bad for your health; it is also bad for your pan. Every type of oil has a temperature where it starts to smoke, this is the so-called smoking point. When the temperature goes beyond this point, the oil starts to dissolve, and it releases a taste that can ruin your food. Another effect can be carbonization of the pan, which can damage the ceramic layer. We, therefore, recommend using an oil with a relatively high smoking point when baking or frying. The packaging of oils, available in supermarkets does not always contain information about the smoke point. Our advice is to look for oils with clear information on the packaging that states, “suitable for frying”.
Unrefined oils, such as cold-pressed or extra virgin oil, normally have specific instructions on the packaging.
Avoid using oil sprays such as atomizers, nebulizers, or pumps because small droplets of oil heat up extremely quickly and causing charring on the non-stick layer. These layers of charring and carbonization cause the non-stick layer to lose its properties.

Question 2

The direction says not to use olive oil to avoid grease build up so what oil to use and why other oil does not build up grease??

Accepted Answer

Dear customer,

Thank you for your email.

We recommend you not to use any olive oil or butter for frying. These fats have a low smoke point and they will burn faster than others and will cause carbonization, the stains in your pan. The food that you are cooking will get burned as well and the coating of your pan will be damaged.

We recommend to use other oils with a higher smoke point such as peanut or sunflower oil.

We do not recommend using oil sprays, including aerosols, mist, and pump sprays. Small spray droplets heat up very rapidly and carbonise easily on the non-stick surface. This will leave a layer on the coating and will affect the non-stick performance of the pan.

Thank you for your understanding and have a great day.
