5 mistakes we're making with non-stick cookware

Not reading the care instructions

Read manufacturer's instructions for care, cleaning, and maintenance. For example, certain brands may need periodic reseasoning. You'll need to heat a pan for a few minutes on medium heat with the interior coated with a tablespoon or two of oil. Remove from heat and let cool before wiping dry with soft toweling.

Cooking on high heat

Cooking on high heat can cause the non-stick coating to peel away. Low or medium heat is recommended.

Using metal cooking utensil

They might go with your kitchen décor but using metal cooking utensils can damage the coating on your pan. Instead, opt for spatulas and spoons made out of silicone.

Using nonstick spray

Avoid using cooking spray on your nonstick cookware. Overtime the spray will build up on your pan. 

Washing in dishwasher

Handwash pans with soap and hot water, though a few brands may approve cleaning in the dishwasher.
