00:041. Using Metal Utensils

00:07Metal tools scratch delicate coating, causing flaking and loss of performance. Use silicone,

00:13wood, or plastic utensils.

00:162. Cooking on High Heat

00:18Exposing non-stick pans to high heat breaks down the surface, warps the pan, and may release

00:23harmful fumes.

00:253. Putting Pans in the Dishwasher

00:27Dishwashers' hot water and harsh detergents erode non-stick coatings, causing peeling

00:33and reduced effectiveness. Hand wash with mild soap instead.

00:374. Using Cooking Sprays

00:40Sprays leave sticky residues that build up, harming the non-stick surface and causing food

00:45to stick. Use oil or butter.

00:475. Stacking Pans Without Protection

00:50Direct stacking causes friction, scratching, or denting the coating. Use towels, paper,

00:55or pan protectors between pans for safe storage.

00:596. Preheating an Empty Pan

01:01Heating non-stick pans empty can warp them and degrade the coating. Always add oil, butter,

01:07or food before applying heat.

01:107. Cleaning with Abrasive Sponges

01:12Steel, wool, and scouring pads strip away non-stick layers, causing irreversible scratches.

01:19Soak and clean gently with a soft sponge.

01:238. Using Sharp Knives in the Pan

01:25Cutting inside the pan with knives slices into the coating, creating deep scratches. Always chop

01:31on a cutting board instead.

01:339. Storing Food in the Pan

01:36Leftover acidic or oily foods stored in the pan erode and stain the coating. Always transfer food

01:42to separate containers.
