Cooking With Non-stick Cookware
Before you use your nonstick for the first time, wash it thoroughly in hot soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth.
Then rinse it in hot water and dry thoroughly.
Now, apply some cooking oil on the nonstick surface with a small amount of cooking oil on a paper towel and wipe off the excess oil.
Your pan is now seasoned to use.
Cook on medium or low heat. High heat is not advisable.
Remember, much less oil is required to cook in non stick cookware.
Overheating will discolour cookware.
Never leave an empty pan/vessel over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin pan/vessel
Never pour cold water in a hot pan or immerse a hot pan into liquid
In case of induction friendly non stick cookware , make sure that the ferromagnetic bottom is on the circle marked on the induction cooktop
Use The Right Utensils
When you're cooking with your nonstick pan, use plastic, rubber, silicon, and wooden utensils. Avoid anything sharp that may scrape the surface of the pan.
Cleaning Nonstick Cookware
Never use steel wool, steel scourging pads or harsh detergents. Nylon scrubbing pads are safe. It is best to use warm water and mild detergent.
