Nowadays we all have started using non-stick pans because the food does not burn in them and probably gets cooked quickly. This is because its layer is made from Teflon, whose method of washing and use is quite different.
However, over some time the coating of the pan wears down and repeated cooking makes it dirty and sticky. It turns black not only from above but also from below. We also adopt various methods for cleaning the non-stick pan, but still, the desired cleanliness is not achieved and the pan starts getting sticky.
How to keep such expensive non-stick pans clean and maintain, is there any recipe, so that they can be kept like new for a long time? In such a situation, you do not have to worry because today we have brought such recipes of Chef Pankaj for you, which can surely prove to be helpful for you.
Recipe number- 1
Pankaj's first recipe is very simple. All you have to do is soak the nonstick cookware by adding water and liquid soap to it. For this, first, place the pan and fill half of the pan with water. Then add 4 to 5 spoons of soap and mix it and leave it for 10 minutes. Now throw this water in the sink and wash it with clean water and clean it with tissue paper.

Another tip is to always use wooden, silicone or plastic spoons for cooking in non-stick pans. This is because its layer does not deteriorate at all with these utensils and it remains like new for years. At the same time, we should not use any metal spoon or ladle to stir in a non-stick pan.
Recipe number- 3
Never cook your non-stick pan on high flame. If you do this, the layer of the pan will be damaged. So if you are making non-veg, veg or dal, then make it on low flame only. You can cover the pan to cook faster, but high heat is not the solution. This will burn its layer and the food will start sticking.
Recipe number- 4
Many times in a hurry, when we empty the pan after cooking, we put it in the sink while still hot and wash it with cold water. Do not do this at all because if you do this, your non-stick pan will be completely spoiled. It is better to let the pan cool completely and then clean it.
Recipe number- 5
Never clean a non-stick pan with sharp metal objects or harsh cleansers. This can cause the coating of the pan to come off and spoil the pan quickly. So always clean the pan with a soft sponge. Soak the food in the pan for a while, then clean it with some warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.

If a piece of food sticks to the pan, don't scrub it to clean it. There is a very simple hack for this..all you need is a baking soda pan and water. Then rub it with a sponge and wash it with clean water. Your work is done, and then you can clean the nonstick pan.
Do not stack non-stick pans with other metal utensils. Due to this, the fear of scratching the pan remains. Always keep non-stick pans separate. Also, don't wash non-stick pans with a stack of other utensils. Always wash it and dry it separately.
