Here are some tips to maintain non-stick cookware:

1.Whenever you buy a new non-stick cookware, make sure you first soak it in hot water and soap. Wash it with fresh water. 

2. Pankaj Bhadouria suggests using only “wooden or silicone” spatulas. 

3. Don’t use a non-stick pan for high-heat cooking. 

4. Avoid taking a used hot pan and placing it in cold water. Why? This causes thermal shock, which leads to warping or degradation of the non-stick coating. 

5. For cleaning, use a mild soap and sponge. First, soak the pan in mild water and soap. Leave for 2-3 mins, and gently clean it with the sponge. “Never use a scrub or a steel scrubber,” Pankaj Bhadouria added. 

6. After washing the utensil, don’t forget to season it with just two drops of oil as it increases its durability. 

7. At times, some burnt food bits don’t go away from soap and water. To clean the stubborn stains, use a paste of baking soda and water.
