Like most non stick pans, you also shouldn’t use sharp utensils when cooking with this pan. However, the manufacturer even cautions against using a metal whisk or spoon with this pan— therefore, rubber or wood utensils only it is if you give this pan a try.

Is a Non Stick Pan in Your Future?

Historically, people don’t think positive things when they hear the words non stick pan. For the most part, they think of the chemicals associated with Teflon.

Also, it’s a common sentiment that the non stick pan is good at cooking only one thing—eggs. Other consumers might even believe that non stick pans are a throw-away kitchen tool.

Getting the Most out of Non Stick Pans

A few tips can help you to make the most of your non stick cooking pan. First, you never want to use a non stick cooking spray. It’s not compatible with non stick pans.

Over time, non stick spray will create a buildup. In this kind of vessel, the buildup is impossible to remove.

You’ll also want to avoid the dishwasher if you want your pan to last. Harsh detergents and high heat can ruin your non stick pan. You should stick to hand washing, even with dishwasher-safe non stick pans.

Again, some non-stick pans allow you to cook using high heat. However, you may want to err on the side of caution and keep in the medium- to low-temperature ranges with your non stick pan.
