Non-stick frying pans are convenient cookware for cooking.

However, housewives often notice that the dishes become unusable too quickly.

Most often, the reason for this is improper handling of dishes.

How Not to Handle Non-Stick Coating

The first mistake is pouring oil onto the hot surface of the pan. The fat should be on the pan before you start heating it to improve the non-stick effect.

Cookware with a non-stick coating cannot tolerate too high a cooking temperature, as it destroys the protective layer.

It is important to wash non-stick pans correctly. Follow these rules:
do not use dishwasher;
wash only cooled dishes to avoid deformation;
Do not use metal sponges or other cleaning tools with abrasive surfaces.

Do not leave the cookware in the oven or store food in it: all this will seriously wear out the non-stick coating.
