How to Take Care of a Fragile ​Non-Stick Pan?

Was your first pan a non-stick one? The coating on non-stick pans ​can wear out quickly, often needing replacement after just 1-2 ​years. But with proper care, you can make it last longer. Here's ​how to take care of your non-stick pan.

Spatulas

Use a silicone spatula if you can. If not, bamboo or ​wooden ones work too. NEVER use metal spatulas, ​spoons, or forks—they can scratch and ruin the non-​stick coating.

Cooking

Don't heat an empty pan on high heat. When ​cooking, try to stick to medium or low heat.

Cleaning

Don't use steel wool to clean the pan—it will damage ​the coating right away. Use a sponge or cloth instead. ​Also, don't pour cold water into a hot pan.

Maintenance

Brush a thin layer of oil onto the pan, then wipe off ​the excess with a paper towel. It's best to do this once ​a week.
