5 Tips To Save Non-Stick Utensils From Unwanted Scratches

Use medium to low flame while cooking in non-stick pans to minimise damage to the coating.

Avoid using hard or wire scrubbers to clean the non-stick dishes. Choose the soft side of the dish sponge and be gentle while cleaning them.

When storing or stacking them, try to line them with tissue paper or kitchen paper to avoid scratching due to proximity.

Opt for silicone and wooden cooking spoons/stirrers while cooking in non-stick dishes to minimise scratches.

Avoid putting hot non-stick pans in water as this adds to the damage. Allow them to return to room temperature before washing them, soaking them if needed.
