Tips for using pans to keep them durable

To use the pan properly, you should heat the pan before use, do not use too much oil when cooking, use silicone or wooden utensils to stir food…

Preheat the pan before use

Before you start cooking, you should preheat the pan evenly to protect the non-stick coating of the pan. At the same time, it helps prevent food from sticking to the pan. Add cooking oil before the pan is hot to prevent the non-stick coating from peeling off due to the heat. For cast iron pans, add cooking oil only when the pan is hot. To check if the pan is hot, you can hold your hand over the surface of the pan or add a little water to see if it evaporates immediately. However, you should not wait for the pan to get too hot before adding food.

Don’t use too much oil

When cooking in these pans, use less oil to make the food less greasy. This way, you can control the amount of oil you take in. Surely you also know that eating too much oil is the cause of many diseases related to the heart, stomach, overweight, obesity, fatty blood…

In addition, you should also limit the use of cooking oil sprayers. Cooking oil sprayers contain many different compounds. After a period of use, additives and emulsifiers in the pan will penetrate the pan and form residue. This layer of residue will damage the surface of the pan. Not only that, this chemical affects the health of the user. You should brush a layer of grease on the pan instead of using cooking oil sprayers.

Use silicone or wooden utensils to stir and scoop food

You should not use chopsticks or ladles made of iron, stainless steel, or steel to stir or scoop food from the pan to the plate. These materials will cause the pan’s non-stick coating to be scratched and peeled off severely. Or even release toxic substances that affect human health. Instead, use utensils made of silicone or wood to protect the pan’s non-stick coating.

Cook at low to medium heat

When cooking with a non-stick pan, you should not set the temperature too high (>260 degrees Celsius) because the non-stick layer when exposed to high temperatures will easily release toxic fumes. This fumes can cause you to cough, have chest tightness, have difficulty breathing, and feel weak. As for cast iron pans, you can use any temperature you like to cook, and cast iron pans can also be used in the oven. There is a natural non-stick layer in the cast iron pan, so there will be no potential health risks.

Do not leave food on the pan for a long time

After cooking, you should remove the leftover food from the pan and not leave it in the pan or store the pan in the refrigerator. The substances in the pan can change the smell of the food, making the food no longer delicious. In addition, the pan will also quickly deteriorate due to the moisture of the food stuck on the pan for a long time.

When the non-stick coating peels off, you should scrape it off

When you notice that the non-stick coating is peeling off, you can scrape it off to use it normally or replace it with a new pan. Absolutely do not continue to use the pan without any treatment. The peeling layer will seep into the food, making the food lose its delicious flavor, and even contaminate the food with toxic chemicals. If you eat food contaminated with the non-stick coating, you are likely to be poisoned and suffer from diseases such as kidney failure, pneumonia, kidney stones, stomach, and even cancer…

How to clean and maintain the pan properly

How to clean and maintain the pan is actually very simple and easy. We will guide you in detail on how to clean and maintain the pan. Ensure that your pan will always be as durable and beautiful as new no matter how long you use it.

Instructions for cleaning the pan

When you have just finished cooking, you should not wash the pan immediately because it can cause the pan to be thermally shocked, leading to warping and deformation. Wait until the pan has completely cooled before washing the pan. Avoid soaking the pan in water because water will cause the pan to rust and break down the structure of the pan’s non-stick coating. Use dishwashing liquid and mild detergents to clean the pan. Too strong soaps can erode the non-stick coating. In addition, you should use a sponge to scrub instead of a metal dishwashing brush.
