Easy Steps to Clean a Non-Stick Pan
Start by letting the pan cool before washing, as hot liquids may harm the protective layer of non-stick pans. Next, delicately wipe the pan's surface with a soft sponge or cloth until any residue is gone, ensuring the interior is clean. For tougher stains, employ a non-abrasive sponge or stiff-bristled brush with hot water to gently scrub away the stains.
Avoid using steel wool or any other abrasive material that might scratch the surface. Thoroughly rinse the pans with hot water to eliminate any lingering soap or cleaning solution. Once cleaned, use a soft cloth or paper towels to completely dry the pans, making sure to dry both the inside and outside, as well as any handles or edges.
Store your pans in a dry, cool place. To prevent scratching or damaging the surface, stack them with a layer of paper towels or felt pads between each pan. Also, remember to use non-metal utensils, as they can scratch the surface. Opt for silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils instead.
