Posted by Sadhanaraveen

Hi all i ve been using non stick pans for long but very often i keep changing the pans as the non stick coating goes off very soon. Few months before i invested on an expensive non stick pan and i religiously take care of it. So far even after many usage it looks new.Here are the few tips that i follow.

1.Strictly used only wooden spatula or the ones which comes with the pan.

2. Use a soft sponge kind of a scrubber when u wash and do not use the once which can spoil the non stick coating.

3.Donot keep the empty non stick pan on stove as it would ruin the non stick coating.

4. After washing the non stick pan do not put it with any other stainless steel vessel which would create a scratch on the non stick coating of the pan.

Pls share ur tips here.

Sadhana,
Also when the non stick pan coating starts to peel, just throw the pan. It is highly carcinogenic(cancer causing) to use the pan and cook after it starts peeling. The toxins/teflon mix with the food and causes cancer, reproductive problems etc. I read this in an article (teflon posisoning)

Do not put the hot nonstick

Do not put the hot nonstick pan in water(hot/cold). This will definetely remove the coating and life of nonstick will be reduced to half

Do not cook on high flame until fumes come out.

Sadhana, nice forum and tips.
