The presence of a non-stick coating on the frying pan is an undoubted plus.

Thanks to this layer, cooking becomes much easier.

Food does not stick to the surface of the cookware as much, and food burns less often.

However, it is not without a serious drawback. For example, the non-stick coating is easily damaged.

The problem often makes itself known while washing dishes.

However, if you avoid the following mistakes, the frying pan will last for a very long time.

Putting off washing "until later"

It is advisable to wash frying pans with a non-stick coating immediately after the surface has cooled down.

If you delay the procedure for even a few hours, the fat and food residue will harden.

It will be very difficult to remove such contamination. You will have to scrub the pan vigorously, and this is fraught with damage to the non-stick coating.

Using powder or hard material

When washing such pans, it is advisable to use a foam sponge and gel.

There should be no metal sponges, brushes or cleaning powders.

Overzealousness

Do not scrub the pan too hard. If there are dried food residues on the surface of the pan, you should act differently.

You need to fill the container with water of a fairly high temperature and wait for about 30 minutes. This simple procedure is a guarantee of softening the dirt and its easier removal.
