The pan has lost its non-stick coating, don’t throw it away
+ Wash the pan with coffee when you first buy it
For a non-stick pan when you first buy it, you should wash it once with dishwashing liquid to clean the dirt on the surface of the pan, then heat the pan with a moderate amount of coffee and then rinse it with water to clean it.
This method not only helps the pan to be clean but also removes the unpleasant odor of the non-stick coating extremely effectively.
+ Pour oil into the pan before the pan is hot
When using a non-stick pan, you should pour oil into the pan (which has been wiped dry) first and then place it on the stove. Do not wait for the pan to be hot before adding oil because it will peel off the non-stick coating, causing toxicity to the user and reducing the lifespan and quality of the pan.
In addition, when frying with a non-stick pan, you should use less oil and limit the amount of fat to protect the health of the whole family. You can even fry eggs or toast bread directly on the pan without using oil, fat or butter.
+ Cook at low or medium heat
To use the pan properly and safely, you should not leave the pan at high temperatures because it will cause the non-stick coating to decompose, causing harm to the user’s health.
Therefore, during the cooking process, you should use low or medium heat and lower the temperature if the pan is too hot or smokes. Using at medium and low heat will best ensure that the non-stick coating does not reduce its lifespan.
