Beware of these common mistakes to extend the life of your non-stick pan

Follow up – Sama Ismail

A non-stick frying pan is an essential tool in any kitchen, and to maintain its performance and longevity, we provide a set of important tips to help you maintain your pan in good condition.

1. Use oil spray:

With repeated use of oil spray, a residue builds up on the pan’s sticky coating. It is best to use regular oil or butter instead. In some cases, you can even eliminate the use of fat due to the stickiness of the pan.

2. Avoid heating the pan before adding oil or butter:

When using a non-stick pan, there is no need to heat it before adding oil or butter. When a pan is exposed to high temperatures, it releases harmful chemicals. To avoid this problem, it is better to add fat to the pan immediately after putting it on the fire.

3. Avoid using the dishwasher:

Hot water and harsh detergents used in the dishwasher can damage the pan’s non-stick coating. It is best to clean these types of pans by hand using warm water and mild soap.

4. Use blunt instruments:

Be careful not to use sharp metal tools on the surface of the pan, as they can scratch and damage the pan’s adhesive layer and reduce its effectiveness. Use wooden or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface.

By following these tips, you can enjoy and maintain excellent nonstick pan performance for a long time.
