The main advantage of non-stick pans is that food does not burn or stick to the surface.

The production process of such a coating uses low-friction plastic, which provides a perfectly smooth surface.

This material is highly durable and long-lasting, but it is quite easy to damage.

For example, if you use a metal spatula or spoon, the coating will be destroyed.

Is it worth cooking on a damaged frying pan?

Experts do not recommend doing this, as toxic substances may be released during the cooking process.

If the non-stick coating is uneven, cooking will be difficult.

In any case, the food will stick to the pan anyway – the dish will burn and the taste will be spoiled.

Therefore, it is better to replace a frying pan with a damaged non-stick coating completely.
