Cooking With Non-stick Cookware


When you buy a nonstick pan, three things should come along with it. A wooden spatula, a nylon sponge and a short booklet that initiates you into the care of your new product. If you take the trouble to read the booklet, you'll know that before you use your nonstick for the first time, you have to wash it thoroughly in hot soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth. Then rinse it in hot water and dry thoroughly. Next, wipe the nonstick surface with a small amount of cooking oil on a paper towel and wipe off the excess oil.

Your pan is now seasoned to use. Incidentally, a heat setting higher then medium is rarely necessary and certainly not advisable. Since one of the advantages of a nonstick pan is that it requires very little oil, you could try using a cooking spray instead of pouring from a can.

A cooking spray works best with olive oil, not a staple , but we're sure you could innovate. The spray itself isn't easily available - but you could try making your own by converting an empty spray can you'd usually use to clean windows. It just might work!
