Introduction:
Non-stick pans are kitchen essentials, making cooking and cleanup easier. But over time, residue and improper care can cause food to stick. Instead of replacing your pan, there’s a surprisingly easy method to revive its non-stick surface and save money.
Why It Works:
Cooking oil polymerizes at high heat, forming a smooth, protective layer that acts as a natural non-stick coating—similar to seasoning a cast-iron pan. This process helps restore slickness and reduces food sticking.
Ingredients & Tools Needed:
1 tbsp vegetable oil (or flaxseed oil for stronger seasoning)
1 clean paper towel or cloth
Stovetop and clean dry pan (stainless steel, cast iron, or worn non-stick)
