Since non-stick cookware is known most convenient for frying without experiencing sticking or breaking the food, the concept has urged manufacturers to offer other non-stick pieces for roasting, deep frying, and baking - an innovation that created a really impressive feature that non-stick cookware is the most suitable cookware for modern times.
While many users are satisfied with their non-stick, some find it easily damaged. Consumer reports show that nonstick cookware accounts for about 70 percent of all cookware sales in the United States. If millions of us have been cooking with nonstick pots and pans without much issue, perhaps the "easily damaged" subject only points towards improper care. Here are top reasons why non-stick pans are easily damaged.
Non Stick Cookware
Not Reading Directions of Use
A lot of people buy pots and pans but barely or don't read the cookware information. Even when you buy a new electronic gadget, or a new car, manufacturers provide a user manual to ensure technical accuracy both in the presentation and actual usage. With cookware, understanding how to use it is very important because even with the term "non-stick", this line needs extreme care to prevent losing its non-stick properties. For example, to prevent damage of coating surface, it is indicated to avoid using metal utensils. So, it is only basic to provide with wooden, silicone or plastic gadgets.
Too Much Use and Scrubbing
Use your pan as needed. Reserve your nonstick to fry vegetables, eggs, and other foods that stick easily to pans. You don't need a non-stick when boiling eggs, or water for pasta, use your stainless steel or cast iron pot instead. On the other hand, non-stick surfaces should only be washed with water, mild detergent and a sponge or plastic scrubber. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, or metal scrubbers. I always hand-wash my non-stick and never use anything more than a sponge.
Overheating the Pan
Non-stick requires low to medium heat. If oils or fats start to smoke, the pan is too hot. Preheating your pan on high heat, bringing it to high temperature, or leaving it unattended over fire, especially when empty, will damage the coating. Your non-stick surface will begin to pit and flake in just a very short time of use. While flakes of premium non-stick pans are inert and not poisonous, we shouldn't be eating them, so you need to buy a new one.
Non-stick pans belong to the newer line of cookware, and using them is very different from using the cast iron skillets that we all grew up with. You may not find a non-stick pan to last a lifetime, but extra care will allow you to spend the most of your non-stick around. So to save you some money, be sure to remind yourself of the reasons why non-stick pans are easily damaged.

Black Friday The 8" Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri, with Textured Ceramic Non-Stick Coating from Germany (100% PTFE and PFOA Free) Overview
Utilizing GREBLON -- a natural ceramic coating from Germany, the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri is one of the world's first frying pans to achieve non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free of PTFE, PFOA and other harmful chemicals. This version of the Green Earth Pan features a textured ceramic cooking surface designed to prevent food bonding for superior non-stick performance. The elevations of the textured cooking surface also create air pockets which distribute heat underneath food to enhance cooking performance. Conventional non-stick cookware is achieved through a coating of PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene), a synthetic substance that has waxy properties. At very high temperatures, PTFE begins to decompose and release fumes which are documented to be lethal to birds and small pets, and which can be harmful to humans. In addition, traditional pans incorporating PTFE are manufactured with the aid of PFOA (PerFluoroOctanoic Acid), which the EPA has classified as a 'persistent pollutant of the environment'. With the Green Earth Pan's GREBLON ceramic from Germany, even under high temperatures, no harmful toxic fumes are ever released into the environment. This is because the Green Earth Pan utilizes a 100% ceramic coating derived from nature - not from a laboratory. The Green Earth Pan's ceramic coating is completely free of PTFE and PFOA. The Green Earth Pan's natural ceramic coating is also far more durable and scratch-resistant than other non-stick surfaces. With better non-stick properties, the Green Earth Pan allows you to cook with as little as half the amount of oil normally used, and it makes cleaning a breeze. The Green Earth Pan by Ozeri is made of the highest quality anodized aluminum that allows for even cooking and fantastic browning without the risk of hot spots. It boasts a magnetized bottom for rapid heat transfer on induction stoves, and a heat resistant silicone coated handle. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.SAVE NOW on Black Friday offers below!
