The right steps to clean the nonstick pan
Washing nonstick pan can be harmful immediately after cooking. Putting hot pan in cold water can affect the coating. So first of all, let the pan cool slightly.
2. Start with lukewarm water
If the pan cools down, wash it with lukewarm water. This will easily remove the dirt or remaining pieces of food on the pan.
Never wash the nonstick pan with a harsh detergent or powder. Always use mild dishwash liquid and soft sponges.
4. Avoid steel wool or scrubber
Do not make the mistake of cleaning the pan with steel scrubber or any hard brush. This can cause damage to the nonstick layer of the pan.

5. If something is affixed to the pan, soak
If some food is stuck on the pan and is not moving out of the water, add light lukewarm water and one teaspoon of baking soda to the pan. Leave it for some time. Then clean slowly with soft sponges.
After washing the pan, it is very important to dry it well. You can wipe with a dry cloth or let it dry up and dry it yourself.
Some important tips to increase pan’s life
Use nonstick pan on medium or low flame. The coating deteriorates quickly with high flame.
2. Do not use metal spatula
Always use wood or silicone spatula. Metal spoon can spoil the pan layer quickly.

3. Do not stack the pan
If you place the pan on top of another pot, then its coating can be scratched. Always keep a soft cloth or tissue in the middle of the pan.
Many times people offer pan on gas without putting anything. By doing this, the coating can burn. So whenever you heat the pan, add a little oil or butter to it.

Baking soda and vinegar: Mix one spoon of baking soda and a little white vinegar and apply it on the pan. After leaving 5 minutes, clean it with a soft sponge.
If the coating of nonstick pan remains right, then healthy cooks in less oil and pan does not spoil quickly. If the right method of cleaning and use is adopted, then a good nonstick pan can last comfortably for years.
