The main component of the non-stick pan coating is polytetrafluoroethylene. Its inherent flaw is that its bonding strength is not high and it cannot completely cover the surface of the non-stick pan, leaving part of the metal layer exposed.

How to avoid improper use of non-stick pans, let me tell you a few of my experiences:

First, never use steel wool to brush the pan. The principle of non-stick pan is the coating on the inner surface. I know that many mothers who love cleanliness use steel wool to brush their pots. This habit is very bad. The most expensive thing about non-stick pans is the coating. If you use steel wool to brush them, will they not break? The correct way is to clean it with a dishcloth, which can protect the coating to the maximum extent and extend the service life of the non-stick pan.

Second, do not use sharp spatulas for cooking. Just like the above, sharp spatulas can also damage the coating and shorten the service life of non-stick pans. In addition, when cooking or flipping an omelette, experienced mothers shake the pan and stir-fry instead of using a spatula. This is actually a good habit to protect the coating of the non-stick pan.

Third, learn to use oil to raise the pot. Many people like to wash the pot clean every time they finish cooking. In fact, this may not be a good thing. Generally speaking, after I use the Lombard non-stick pan, I cook twice a day, only for dinner

I wash the pan with detergent. I don’t use detergent at noon. I rinse it with water and then wipe it dry. Moisture is good, and oil is a natural protective layer, so having oil on the pot surface is not a bad thing, especially in winter. People who like cleanliness can just cover the pot

and it will be fine.
