With just a little extra care, your nonstick frying pan can give you years of cooking pleasure. In this article you will discover how easy it is to preserve its silky smooth cooking surface.
Tip 1
Frying Pan
Many cooks do not know that non stick cookware was designed for only special types of foods. They love it and use it for just about everything. However, the nonstick frying pan was designed specifically for delicate foods like; pancakes, eggs and omelets.
For sautes and general everyday cooking, you'll want to reach for a regular frying pan (i.e. one without a non stick surface). An iron skillet is ideal for the workhorse on your stove and enables you to choose the right tool for the right job. This will insure that your non stick pan will last a very long time because you will not be prematurely wearing the surface down.
Tip 2
It's important to remember that these fragile foods don't require nearly as much heat as your heavier general cooking. One of the instructions that came with your pan probably stated that it is best to never set a cooking temperature above medium when using these pans. That's because the nonstick surface is subject to scorching under high heat conditions which will impair its nonstick properties. So remember, "medium" heat.
Tip 3
To further protect the surface, it is important to always use the proper utensils. Wood, rubber or plastic utensils are perfectly acceptable, but never use metal which would surely produce scratches. This wouldn't necessarily affect the nonstick properties, but it would destroy the beauty of your pan.
Tip 4
This one may surprise you, but never place your non stick cookware in the dish washer or use a strong detergent. Although, some manufacturers do claim their product is dish washer safe, for the longest surface life, cleanup should only be done with a soft sponge and soapy water.
A quality nonstick frying pan is truly a joy to use and here you have the basics for preserving its life. When you follow these 4 simple tips in caring for that pan, it will provide you with many years of nonstick cooking satisfaction.
